Oprah’s at it again. She’s using her most challenging personal situation -- her weight (most recently, her 40 pound gain) -- to appeal to us all. Her message, as I’m hearing it, is plain and simple: “Hey People—I’ve taken myself off my own priority list and look what it’s done to me. My name’s going back at the top of that list! How ‘bout joining me?”
Could she be any more direct???
Any of us who aren’t happy with the results we’re getting in our lives are smart to join Oprah on this worthwhile adventure. Her experts are on board and brilliant ideas for self-improvement are everywhere – television, magazine, XM Radio.
They’re educating us with first-rate suggestions and it’s all boiling down to one thing – self-love.
Let’s not waste time focusing on WHY we fell off the self-love wagon. But let’s do focus on what we CAN do to jump back on and stay there.
I’m telling all my clients that it’s time to draw the line in 2009! It’s time to look at the things we do that don’t serve us and love ourselves enough to stop doing them. It’s time too, to think about the things we “wish” we were doing and start doing them.
Draw the line… on thinking trash about ourselves.
Draw the line… on feeling lousy because of something someone else said or did.
Draw the line… on judging ourselves based on how we look, or the number on the scale.
Draw the line… on stuffing our emotions with food.
Draw the line… on thinking we “can’t” do something just because we haven’t done it in the past.
These are just the beginning… where else can YOU draw a line in 2009?
I totally love this. I am drawing the line Lisa! ROck on!
