More quotes by Geneen Roth
There have been many articles about the top regrets that people have when they're dying. They are always, I missed the ordinary moments. We miss those ordinary moments, and yet, that's what we're trying to distract ourselves from at the same time.

The problem with fantasy is the greatest benefit of fantasy: it prevents us from living in the present moment.
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.

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.

Come back to yourself. Return to the voice of your body. Trust that much.

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.

I live between fearing doom and wishing for it.
Geneen Roth
How you eat is how you live. How you do anything is how you do everything.
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
For some reason, we are truly convinced that if we criticize ourselves, the criticism will lead to change. If we are harsh, we believe we will end up being kind. If we shame ourselves, we believe we end up loving ourselves. It has never been true, not for a moment, that shame leads to love. Only love leads to love.
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
No matter what we weigh, those of us who are compulsive eaters have anorexia of the soul. We refuse to take in what sustains us. We live lives of deprivation. And when we can't stand it any longer, we binge.
Geneen Roth
Change happens when you understand what you want to change so deeply that there is no reason to do anything but act in your own best interest.
Geneen Roth
Meditation is a tool to shake yourself awake.
