Unfortunately, as we journey through this life, we bump up against either people or programming that cause us to look at ourselves in a way that isn’t facts or doesn’t involve having ‘soft eyes’.
We end up treating our body like it is the problem, the failure, when in reality that’s how we are viewing ourselves.
