Citas de Geneen Roth

• Por alguna razón, estamos realmente convencidos de que si nos criticamos a nosotros mismos, la crítica nos llevará al cambio. Si somos duros, creemos que acabaremos siendo amables. Si nos avergonzamos, creemos que acabaremos queriéndonos. Nunca ha sido cierto, ni por un momento, que la vergüenza lleve al amor. Sólo el amor conduce al amor.

• Treat yourself as if you already are enough. Walk as if you are enough. Eat as if you are enough. See, look, listen as if you are enough. Because it's true.

• La mayor parte de nuestro sufrimiento proviene de resistirnos a lo que ya está aquí, en particular a nuestros sentimientos. Lo único que quiere cualquier sentimiento es que se le acoja, que se le toque, que se le permita. Quiere atención. Quiere amabilidad. Si trataras a tus sentimientos con tanto amor como tratas a tu perro, a tu gato o a tu hijo, te sentirías como si vivieras en el cielo todos los días de tu dulce vida.

• La pérdida de peso no hace feliz a la gente. Ni la paz. Estar delgado no resuelve el vacío que no tiene forma ni peso ni nombre. Incluso una dieta de éxito salvaje es un fracaso colosal porque dentro del nuevo cuerpo está el mismo corazón que se hunde.

• If you pay attention to when you are hungry, what your body wants, what you are eating, when you've had enough, you end the obsession because obsession and awareness cannot coexist.

• Our work is not to change what you do, but to witness what you do with enough awareness, enough curiosity, enough tenderness that the lies and old decisions upon which the compulsion is based become apparent and fall away. When you no longer believe that eating will save your life when you feel exhausted or overwhelmed or lonely, you will stop. When you believe in yourself more than you believe in food, you will stop using food as if it were your only chance at not falling apart. When the shape of your body no longer matches the shape of your beliefs, the weight disappears.

• I believe in love. And beauty. I believe that every single person has something they find beautiful and that they truly love. The smell of their child's hair, the silence of a forest, their lover's crooked grin. Their country, their religion, their family. And I believe that if you follow this love all the way to its end, if you start with the thing you find most beautiful and trace it's perfume back to its essence, you will perceive an intangible presence, a swath of stillness that allows the thing you love to be visible like the openness of the sky reveals the presence of the moon.

• No matter where you go, no matter how many gifts you give and receive this holiday season, unless you are actually present, it all flies by as if in a dream. Satisfaction in anything--a meal, an interaction, a gift, a sunset--depends on your willingness to take it in. Breathe. Feel your arms and your legs. You are allowed to love every little thing about yourself and your life. You are allowed to take up space and be all that you are. Really you are.
