Finding Value
Hello, Lovely,
Today I would love to share 3 steps to start loving your body.
My journey started with healing my physical body, and over the years, I have seen how physical issues are often the starting point for women.
How we view our bodies is a very complex thing. There is so much pressure and so much shame and judgement all around us, affecting how we feel and view our bodies. We realize that we must learn to see ourselves differently, to feel more confident and have high self worth.
Learning to love your body is something that I love to speak on in my coaching, and I often incorporate it into my yoga classes, but for now, let’s just keep it simple with 3 steps to start loving your body now.
- Find gratitude. Take breaks in your day to review all that you have accomplished, and all that your body has literally done for you. We use our hands and feet all day long, and so often these body parts get overlooked and completely taken for granted. Notice all the magical things your body does for you every moment and start to say “Thank you” to specific body parts. Thank your mouth for feeding you. Thank your feet for carrying you. Thank your eyes for guiding you and giving you color in your world! Stop taking yourself for granted!!!
- Listen. Too often, we live on auto-pilot. We force our bodies to live out of habit, and don’t slow down to drop in and see what our bodies are actually telling us. When you take a moment for your gratitude, also check and see how you actually feel. Are there any body parts that feel sore, or tense, or nervous? Our bodies are incredible at communicating with us, but we don’t listen nearly often enough.
- Respect. Once you create a new habit of listening, turn that into respect by choosing actions that show your body you value it. When you are eating, stop the moment you feel satisfied, instead of overeating and feeling “full”. When you are working and realize you feel heavy/tired, take a moment to stretch and breathe to release the overwhelm. When you notice that you feel rigid or tense somewhere, open the body and let go of the tension.
When you think about it, it’s exactly the same as how we want to be treated in our romantic relationships. We want to feel seen, heard, respected, and valued.
Why would our relationship with our body be any different?
I hope these 3 steps to start loving your body were helpful to you. Feeling your body and choosing to act differently with your body starts a chain reaction that can transform all of your life, if you allow it to.
