BEET the Morning Blues Smoothie Recipe

I’m reading this great little nugget of a book.  It’s called “Living a Charmed Life” by Victoria Moran.  

As I read last evening, this quote resonated within me:

“Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart.”

”I’m guilty, I judge myself often.  Too often the judgement is based upon what I perceive others are thinking, or I compare myself with how they are doing a certain task, and begin to feel inadequate within my own capabilities.  

The next sentence in this book is: “Admire yourself instead, and all of your parts.”

To learn to love is a primary and foundational part of all of us.  We teach it to our children, we wish to give it to others, we bask in the warmth of it when it is bestowed upon us.  Why then is this lesson the hardest when it comes to loving ourselves?

The next time you start to judge yourself, remember this simple quote.  

“Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart.”

Put it on your bathroom mirror as you get ready for the day.  Stick it on the dashboard of your car, place it on your computer at work.  Let it inspire you to stop judging yourself, and give you the motivation and inspiration to stop breaking your heart; again and again, day after day.  

Move forward with intentional commitment to stop judging and start loving YOU!

One very simple way to show love to yourself is to feed your body with nutritional whole foods.  Click here to get my favorite morning smoothie recipe.
