Regular Guy Friday Ep. 67: Compassion Moves Guilt
Compassion moves guilt and EVERYTHING is an opportunity for compassion, says @drkimderamo. Your body is your teacher AND your healer. Your internal guidance system. Your mind can live in the past and future but your body only lives in now, and now is truth so therefore.... Your surrendering truth to not be abandoned. Your surrendering health along with that truth. You only learn from lessons you pay for. The art of playing through. The self improvement hamster wheel. The 'Fight' against diseases does not heal. Switch guilt/shame for hope/optimism. Ground the body in nature to restore body function, says @clintober. Play by play of @undergaro's recent colonic. RGF Bonus: RGF Retro Matchmaking continues. This week @poojanayyar and @thekelseymeyer weigh in on Tony Manero from #SaturdaynNightFever while their moms weigh in on #JimMorrison. Bye Betches.
