THE FOUR AGREEMENTS
~ by Don Miguel Ruiz

After 30 years of working with emotional eaters, I can confidently say that I've never met anyone who has ever lost weight — and kept it off — by deprivation. We are sensory, pleasure-loving beings. It is not just calories that fill us up, but the joy we take from eating them.

We don't overeat because we take too much pleasure from food, but because we don't take enough. When pleasure ends, overeating begins.

Imagine what your life would be like if you let yourself eat with passion. If you felt entitled, no matter what you weighed, to eat with gusto. You may discover that foods you loved — as well as those you didn't — truly do give you pleasure, and there's no price tag attached. And that's how it should be. Why not be astonished by the crisp taste of an apple? Why not revel in the smooth texture of an olive? Since you need to eat to live, why let one moment of joy — even one — pass you by?

If you make only one resolution this year, let it be this: that you’ll start questioning your stories and look for the truth. Ask yourself what would happen if you stopped the incessant chatter about how lumpy or stretchy or ugly your body is. What would happen if, instead, you thanked your body for taking you this far. For schlepping packages and bearing children and making love. Then listen to it carefully to see what it needs.

Maybe it doesn’t want so much sugar. Maybe it wants more rest. Maybe it doesn’t want to eat one-handed in the car. Listen closely, carefully, and, with the utmost kindness, decide if it’s possible for you to put just one of your body’s real wishes into action. When you pay attention to what your body really wants, you won’t have to use deprivation and willpower and force to rein yourself in. You won’t have to make resolutions. When you and your body are on the same side, your actions will be effortless, graceful, and loving.

When things fall apart, your urge is to do something--anything--to put them back together. But what if you can't do that right now? Martha Beck on the hidden blessings of life's little low points.

The purpose of healing is to become whole, and the purpose of being whole is to move toward a vision of life in which you are fully alive, connected to what sustains you, available to receive and give love.

A thoroughly good relationship with ourselves results in being still, which doesn't mean we don't run and jump and dance about. It means there's no compulsiveness. We don't overwork, overeat, oversmoke, overseduce. In short, we begin to stop causing harm.

In a culture obsessed with happiness, we should remember that coming to terms with suffering is instructive to the soul.
