Body Checking: Are you guilty?

I know what it’s like to want to check your body every time you walk by a mirror, especially as you get closer to show or you’re coming out of one and seeing how much is “holding on”.

But body checking can have very negative implications on how we perceive ourselves for the long term.

If you are always checking your body & meeting yourself with kind or negative words that’s going to influence how you see your body when it’s in a different shape & we know our body is ever evolving!

With that said, most of the times competitors tell me they look in the mirror & their eyes instantly go to their waist, glutes, & shoulders (hello criteria we are literally driven to work towards every day)

The exercise I’m sharing involves a mirror & either cardboard, poster board, or just paper & tape

If you find that every time you look in the mirror your eyes go to your waist & this leads to judgmental thoughts that make you question yourself or doubt yourself or even change your behavior then you’d place your cardboard over the mirror in the spot that your eyes tend to go to first.

Researchers have found that people with body dysmorphic disorder have different eye tracking than healthy control groups which leads them to fixate more on negative attributes rather than a balanced scanning of all traits & I think this can be applied to body checking.

This is not to say that by completing this exercise you’ll transform immediately and entirely (as things take consistent implementation & reinforcement anyway).

BUT in personal experience & through those I’ve shared it with I’ve seen this exercise change where you look first.

By putting the cardboard over the waist which is the first thing you look at, you will notice that the cardboard serves as an interruption to this pattern & forces your eyes elsewhere thus taking fixation off of one area which you’re hyper critical of.

I hope you feel inspired to try this out for a few weeks & see how it impacts your tendency to look at one area of your body.

Be patient & compassionate with yourself❤️

LMK how it goes! If you want more specific help with body image check out www.celestial.fit/ondemand 🤗
