More quotes by Geneen Roth
I tell my retreat students that they need to remember two things: to eat what they want when they're hungry and to feel what they feel when they're not.
Geneen Roth
For every diet there's an equal and opposite binge (bulimia which is binging and purging is another way of depriving yourself).
Geneen Roth
All any feeling wants is to be welcomed with tenderness. It wants room to unfold. It wants to relax and tell its story. It wants to dissolve like a thousand writhing snakes that with a flick of kindness become harmless strands of rope.
Geneen Roth
You are not your past, not your habits, not your compulsions. When you get to know who you are, anything becomes possible.
Geneen Roth
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.
Geneen Roth
You can't be stuck if you're not trying to get anywhere. Which, to me, means that when you stop fighting with the way things are, magic happens. You relax, open, and any action you take comes from alignment with what's true.
Geneen Roth
You cannot spend your life wanting to be someone else, snipping off pieces of yourself you don't like, and suddenly expect, upon reaching a goal, to be confident, self-accepting, rooted like an oak tree in your being.
Geneen Roth
And.. are you willing to go all the way? To understand that food is only a stand-in for love and possibility and spirit? Because if you aren't, you will get caught up in gaining and losing weight for the rest of your life. But if you are willing, then the portal to what you say you want is truly on your plate.
Geneen Roth
How you eat is how you live. How you do anything is how you do everything.
Geneen Roth
Real change happens bit by bit. It takes great effort to become effortless at anything. There are no quick fixes.
Geneen Roth
You are not a mistake. You are not a problem to be solved. Treat yourself with outrageous kindness beginning today.
Geneen Roth
It's not life in the present moment that is intolerable the pain we are avoiding has already happened. We are living in reverse.
Geneen Roth
If you treat your feelings with as much love as you treat your dog or your cat or your child you'll feel as if you were living in heaven.
Geneen Roth
Meditation develops the capacity to question your mind. Without it, you are at the mercy of every thought, every desire, every wave of emotion.
Geneen Roth
We're always looking for the Big Love, the Big High, the next Big Thing to happen. We miss what's in front of us.
Geneen Roth
It matters whether you see yourself as someone who is capable of effecting change or whether you see yourself as someone whose voice does not count. It matters whether you treat yourself with reverence or with carelessness. Every bit of work you do on yourself matters. Every time you choose love, it matters.
Geneen Roth
We always want to change the channel in our minds because we don't like what's going on. It's uncomfortable.
Geneen Roth
Imagine not being frightened by any feeling. Imagine knowing that nothing will destroy you. That you are beyond any feeling, and state. Bigger than. Vaster than. That there is no reason to use drugs because anything a drug could do would pale in comparison to knowing who you are.
Geneen Roth
If you decided to reteach yourself your own loveliness today, what would you do? How would you speak to yourself? Can you allow yourself that much?
Geneen Roth
You already have everything you need to be content. Your real work is to do whatever it takes to realize that.
