Twelve-week creativity workshop!

I don't like the phrasing of treating oneself "like an object" (how odd; it also reinforces, to me, that her target audience is apolitical, probably middle+/upper class, women), but I see what she's going for here, and being gentle with yourself instead of always "tough love" is important. I mentioned in previous comments that I once mostly stopped eating because I felt like I was "wasting" that money and basically didn't "deserve" good food. Spoiler: it made things worse, not better.

I'm trying to think of a constructive way to revise her mantra, without the "precious object" part. I like the poem inkdust linked to, "You don't have to be good." I'm not religious, but I do like this line from Psalm 139:14: "I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
