A young woman decided to take a walk in a local park as a way to begin a daily exercise routine. She wanted to lose the 15 pounds she had recently gained from an overindulgence in carbohydrates. When she had barely begun her walk, she noticed a carefully folded piece of paper on the path. She was not accustomed to picking up random pieces of paper on the ground, but for some reason she was drawn to it so she picked it up. She read the message written quite legibly on the paper and was stunned: “Lose any negative beliefs you have about yourself. Those illusions are not who you are.”
