Before you can love your neighbor as yourself, you have to love YOU. You are not your illness, but it is part of who you are. Do you treat yourself with love? Or do you treat yourself like someone who deserves to be punished? If someone you really cared about had your disease, what would you expect of them? Is that what you expect of yourself? How would you treat them? Is that how you treat yourself? What would you say to them? What do you say to yourself?
Every day presents you with hundreds of choices. Some build health, some do not. For just one day, every time you are faced with a choice, pause and say to yourself, “I love myself therefore I choose…” You don’t have to believe it. Just do it. How do you feel at the end of the day? How will you feel at the end of a week?
