She shares how that sense of agency, paired with a gains perspective that counted what she had received instead of what illness had taken, moved her the rest of the way toward unconditional self-love. It is a practical close to a story about rebuilding the relationship you have with yourself. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://buddingoptimist.com/how-to-love-yourself-unconditionally/ Quotes to ponder: "Suffering is like a pot of stew simmering on the stove."
