Can We Talk Body Image for a Hot Minute?

Can We Talk Body Image for a Hot Minute?

Ladies, could we just talk about body image for a minute?

?It’s Summer, that usually means tank tops and shorts and strappy dresses, and (gulp!) swimsuits!!!!

We all struggle with body image. We think we are not thin enough, flat- tummy enough. We have too much cellulite and lumps, and scars, and draggy skin, and jiggly thighs. Right? We women tend to have a never-ending running dialogue about how our bodies are not good enough. It’s toxic thought. It’s poison to your wellbeing.

When I stand in front of an audience (live or virtual) there is a beautiful way of thinking I try to impart.?I learned this line of thought from a meditation expert, Belleruth Naparstek.

”Love your Body. She is your oldest friend, your most constant companion. Your body has been with you thru all of your life- thru your trauma, and your joys. Honor her.”

Honor her. Your body.?

Your body literally, is where you live. She holds the essence of who you are. Your body is amazing - she moves you from place to place, houses your fantastic brain, allows you to think and feel.?

We must throw off this sick, narrow societal notion of what a perfect, or sexy body looks like, and instead, embrace HEALTHY.

What does your body need to be HEALTHY? What can you do to honor your body?

Do That. You are worth it.
