“Self-love letters, the ultimate act of romance with yourself! Picture this: You, a cup of tea or coffee, and a pen poised to shower yourself with affectionate affirmations. Why is it important, you ask? It’s a fabulous exercise in self-awareness and mindfulness. By putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), you're taking the time to acknowledge your strengths, quirks, and everything in between. So go ahead and indulge in some shameless self-love letter writing.”

“Self-love isn't just about bubble baths and treating yourself – although those are great, too! It's about embracing your flaws, celebrating your victories, and being your own biggest cheerleader. So go ahead, give yourself a pat on the back, throw yourself a compliment or two, and remember that you're pretty darn amazing, flaws and all. After all, when you love yourself unconditionally, you become unstoppable.”

“Eating – overeating – saved me. It comforted me when I was at the mercy of grown-ups who didn't know how to give what I needed. Food was something to which I had ready access, and with it I cleverly fashioned a survival mechanism that pulled me back from the edge of insanity. – a young MacGuyver of angst and junk food.”

“It was torture to be starving and not being able to eat. All I could think about was my face and my chewing and how much food was on my fork when I brought it to my mouth. Eating in front of people was like stripping and standing there naked for everyone to judge. My mind was in a constant state of panic wondering if I looked like a pig when I was eating, or if I was chewing too loud. Or worse, what if I ate too much and everyone saw what my mom always saw: a fat sob that could do with losing a few meals? The thought always left me in cold chills.”

“The brain-disease model overlooks four fundamental truths: (1) our capacity to destroy one another is matched by our capacity to heal one another. Restoring relationships and community is central to restoring well-being; (2) language gives us the power to change ourselves and others by communicating our experiences, helping us to define what we know, and finding a common sense of meaning; (3) we have the ability to regulate our own physiology, including some of the so-called involuntary functions of the body and brain, through such basic activities as breathing, moving, and touching; and (4) we can change social conditions to create environments in which children and adults can feel safe and where they can thrive. When we ignore these quintessential dimensions of humanity, we deprive people of ways to heal from trauma and restore their autonomy. Being a patient, rather than a participant in one’s healing process, separates suffering people from their community and alienates them from an inner sense of self.”

“Mais si notre inconscient est la source de beaucoup de nos maux, il peut aussi amener la guérison de nos affections morales et physiques. Il peut, non seulement réparer le mal qu’il a fait, mais encore guérir des maladies réelles, si grande est son action sur notre organisme. - But if our unconscious is the source of many of our ills, it can also bring about the healing of our moral and physical affections. It can not only repair the harm it has done, but also cure real illnesses, so great is its action on our organism.”

“Don’t let some people’s blase attitude towards human relationships in the modern world fool you into thinking that humans are dispensable, that family and friends are dispensable, that marriages are dispensable. They are not and they never will be. Good people are your key to sanity. Good people are your survival.”

“Our feelings, thoughts, beliefs and even expectations act as filters through which our imaginations initiate the process of generating our particular experienced reality. These filters influence our interpretation of events, our interactions with others, and even our physical health.”

“By embracing the principles of wu wei, we tap into a deeper wisdom that guides us toward harmonious solutions. We learn to trust the natural layout of the situation and find peace in the now, regardless of the challenges we face. If you want to have a bit of lighthearted fun with this oftentimes new-agey concept, and avoid taking it too seriously in its own rather playful spirit, imagine your ‘woo’ simply getting out of your ‘way.”

“For most of the population these days, the only thing that ever dances is a pair of thumbs texting. No wonder people are aging so fast on the Ship of Fools sailing Titanic-like through today into no tomorrow. As people’s souls shrink through lack of movement, their connective tissue hardens and their bones turn brittle. This isn’t metaphoric. This is the mind-body-spirit connection on full display, for anyone who cares to contemplate its cause and effects, in real time.”

“The moment we remove the external world from our senses we’ve also removed a large chunk of how we feel inside ourselves. We don’t think with our brain, our brain thinks with the world. We also don’t feel with our body, our body feels with the world. We need the world to exist as feeling machines that think.”

“It was easier to visit him in the hospital at the height of his illness than to encounter him on the street struggling through this intermediate existence. I wanted to think of illness and recovery as two clear, diametrically opposed states.”

“As a researcher deeply immersed in the field of human interaction, universal laws, and the profound impacts of education on societal behaviors, I posit that ghosting transcends mere social rudeness; it might be a manifestation of our internal psychological landscapes. Ghosting could reflect our deepest fears of abandonment, our struggles with self-worth, or even a subconscious desire for an undefined existence in relationships. My exploration into this phenomenon suggests that education in emotional intelligence and self-awareness could serve as a beacon, not only illuminating the path to heal from ghosting but also to prevent it. By understanding that our external experiences might mirror our internal states, we can foster a society where empathy and presence are not just valued but are the norm. This isn't just about changing individual behaviors; it's about transforming our collective social fabric through knowledge and empathy.”

“Title IX opened a door fifty years ago that can never be closed again, but equality doesn’t end at the equal right to play. True equality in sports, like any other industry, requires rebuilding the systems so there’s an equal chance to thrive. I’m just one person telling a story to bring an embodied experience of the female athlete to life. I can’t create policy or NCAA best practices, or medical guidelines, but I have some ideas of where to start. We need policies like those created around concussions that specifically protect the health of the female body in sport. We need to create a formal certification to work with female athletes that mandates education on female physiology, puberty, breast development, menstrual health, and the female performance wave.”

“In short, anything that promotes a sense of isolation leads to chronic stress and, often, to illnesses like heart disease. Conversely, anything that leads to real intimacy and feelings of connection can be healing in the real sense of the word: to bring together, to make whole.”

“When people say, “I’m anxious, depressed, or I need to work on my mental health.” Don’t question it. Don’t tease them. Don’t diminish their issues because you want something from them and their mental health limits their ability to deliver. It was hard enough for them to acknowledge and share. If you do not understand because you’ve never experienced mental health issues, go educate yourself. Do not look to them for everything you need to know about mental health. They are learning too. Do the work to understand.”

“Either way, whether your anxiety is self-generated or externally-generated or both, your brain still needs to sound the alarm – and thank goodness it does! It’s essentially telling you: ‘Warning, something is sabotaging or might sabotage your goals, health, happiness and survival – find it, fix it!’ to which your mental response should be, ‘Gee, thanks, I’m on it!”

“Anxiety is just our brain’s way of trying to keep us alive and well; it is simply, and fortunately, one of our many in-built survival mechanisms. Just as we feel pain when we burn our skin which tells us to move away from the cause of the pain, we experience anxiety when the brain perceives a threat to our well-being and is telling us to prevent or extinguish the threat/danger.”
