I like the realization that if I practice a healthy, sane behavior daily for 30 minutes/day for 30 days, that positive behavior (or way of thinking) will become a habit. Healthy habits can grow inside us and become who we are. For example, I am practicing 'radical observation' of my body-mind, where tension is, where food cravings are. Simply noticing tension, tightness, drivenness, striving, wanting, desiring, my restless mind - all good, all calming. It is telling the truth in this very moment. My restless mind can be so exhausting! Stillness has its rewards.
She has learned how to deny herself and not let her life be ruled by the taste of good-tasting food. If western society could do the same, there would be so much less chronic disease, cancer, alzheimers, carbon emissions, natural disasters, famines, children growing up without grand-parents.
I wonder what you mean by those 2 words. "Derivative" means someone else said it before - but why is that a problem? - it doesn't make it any less true, and a lot of buddhist and similar teachers will say the same things. "Simplistic" means "not addressing the complexity of the issue", but isn't the remedy for our problems fairly simple anyway? It is we and our minds that are complicated - we all know that - so isn't she being most helpful by keeping it clear and basic? Sometimes our habitual (egotistic) tendency is to get off on philosophical complication as a way of avoiding facing ourselves, isn't it?

Me too but what works for me is self compassion. When we love ourselves we can easily love others everything is just better.

Thank You.
Lead by example.
How did "gun control" come up here? In reality there is too much focus on controlling others instead of self control.
I appreciate her, but I found the talk very simplistic and derivative.

I gave twenty dollars to a homeless being because it was nice. OK?
it was an automatic response due to our horrible cultural conditionings.
