"Learning to Love Yourself" by Gay Hendricks is a book that received criticism from certain psychology circles,but it still found its way into millions of hands and hearts...
proving that peer reviews don’t always dictate the value of knowledge & wisdom.
Learning to love ourselves can be challenging because we are programmed by...
👉 social and cultural conditioning that dictates how we should act, look, and think.
👉 media messages that tell us happiness is just one product or procedure away.
👉 a relentless economy that fosters an endless cycle of work, debt, and consumption, leaving little room for introspection.
My broadcasting career became the backdrop to my struggles with mental health and addictions. I self-medicated my life with alcohol & other drugs. I followed 12-step programs, attended meetings, followed the dogma - and still experienced setbacks for 9 years!
I stumbled, fell, and stood up again. It was only through persistence and self-discovery that I found the right combination of tools to finally manage my mental health and maintain my freedom from addiction.
Today, I remind others, and myself, that: “We are not the sum of our setbacks, but the heroes of our relentless comebacks.”
When you’re ready to build habits that support better mental health and self-compassion, I’d love to hear from you. Together, we can take the first steps toward your journey of healing and transformation.
