Today, know that you are beautiful and good. Feel the truth of this permeating your being.This has always been true. Think of yourself at different ages and send a message to that self: you are beautiful and good. Cherish your younger self with great tenderness. (This is not to say we have always made good decisions - only that our essential nature has always been beautiful and good and deserves to be held in that knowledge and appreciation.) This does not make us complacent or support denial. It allows us to drop shame, see more clearly, and stop getting in our own way.
