9 Ways to Transform Self-Destructive Behavior into Self-Loving Habits [1]
HJ: At your core, you are pure love. You are whole. Transforming self-destructive behaviors is about returning to your true nature. We only engage in these behaviors because we are out of touch with that self-love and ironically most self-destructive behaviors either makes us feel good temporarily (simulating that self-love we miss and crave) or put us in a victim state or experience that elicits attention and love responses from other people. As has been widely stated in A Course in Miracles, ‘Everything we do is either an offering of love or a cry for love.’ Self destructive behaviors are a cry for love.
When they are transformed, we enter the process of reconnecting with our own self-love, which is the source of all healing, happiness, peace and wisdom.
