(Very Damn Important Law #3) Learn From the Masters

Probably the most challenging thing about trying to change this body image thing is that I'm basically fighting against a whole lifetime of thinking and doing things a certain way. And even though I'm now seeing that those ways aren't exactly working for me, I also know that, when it comes to psychology and behavior and habits, it's so much easier to rely on the right hand than it is to start practicing with the left.
For about two years now, I’ve made a habit of reading a self-help book for about 20 minutes a day. It’s become a part of my morning meditation routine, and I’ve learned a ton from doing it. But I haven’t really implemented most of what I’ve learned, and I haven’t really shared it with you guys, either (outside some of the stuff I’ve learned about meditation and the like). So I created Law #3 to remind me that, not only is it awesome to devour everything that will teach me more about positive self and body image, but it's also pretty awesome to try my hand at learning new ways of thinking and doing. And then share it with you fine peeps.
The first on the docket is Marianne Williamson’s A Course In Weight Loss . But I’m reading it with one caveat: My goal is not necessarily weight loss. I’m reading the book because it combines meditation and introspection and structured activities and exercises that focus on healing one’s relationship with the body...things of which are all part of Very Damn Important Laws #4 and #5 (up next).
