Step one. Accept yourself entirely. Take the extra weight, the added baggage, the laugh lines and baggy eyes, the guilt of past mistakes, and take one good hard look at it in the mirror.
Step two. Forgive the people who have hurt you. And for goodness sakes, forgive yourself.
Step three. Heal. Heal right now and heal entirely, because you won’t be able to accomplish anything if you do.
These and seven other steps, Rev. Sheryl L. White Barnes believes, pave the way to a happier and more spiritually fulfilling life. Friday morning, she appeared on WNHH radio’s “LoveBabz LoveTalk” with weekly host Babz Rawls-Ivy to talk about “what to give ourselves when we’ve overextended,” the subject of her book 10 Gifts to Give Yourself — Journey Back to You!
“Stand in your truth,” urged Barnes. “Start with: I’m enough. What if you are enough? Works out for me.”
