To Recover Is To Change

To live is to change and to have lived well is to have changed often. (J.H. Newman)

The outwards behaviour of person with an eating distress is to avoid change as much is possible. The condition keeps one frozen in time. A sufferer’s life is stuck and doesn’t grow. The resulting pain of that stagnation can be overwhelming and generally leads to destructive behaviours.
Recovery generally starts when the person can face up the truth that they have a problem and they are open searching for healthy solutions.
It takes long time and requires patience, and a lot of hard work, recovery is complex. Change can be tricky. The condition tries to get back. Person can feel the nagging persistence of the old self-destructive ways. It takes careful vigilance in early stage of recovery to stay focus and keep the self-destruction out of your life.

The outer situation is always a reflection of the collective inner situation.
You are not what you are, rather, what you are, is what you can be. The most interesting thing about life is that you can become more than you were before.
If you want the world change, you have to change.
Your mission is not to set the whole world right, simply to set yourselves right.
Following some guidelines to help with change:
- It feels bad at first, then it starts to feel better
- Significant change takes time
- The first step to changing is thinking about the change
- Give yourself room for errors
- Change requires taking a risk and to be patient
- Feel the fear but do what you need to do anyway
- It doesn’t matter if the change is large or small, either can have a positive impact on your life and your self-esteem
- Be sure to give yourself credit for any change you make

Even our Iceberg changed and I hope you all like it
So, let’s embrace change in every area and the process of recovery will become much and much easier…
