For someone who’s only known self criticism all their life, the ‘loving yourself no matter what‘ philosophy is a mind bending paradigm.
How do you get anything done?
How do you determine the good days from the bad days?
This logic means you could sit on the couch all day vegetating and the next cure cancer and both days would be equally worthy of love.
I think what eventually kicks in is – now that you’re free of acting out of fear of self flagellation – what do you want to do?
How would you like to spend your time?
