![]() How you perceive your body & feel in your skin has been demonstrated in studies to influence your daily life. Many people who appear to have the best physiques, confidence, or discipline struggle w/ their body image. I want to share a practice that I’ve guided women from all over the world through for the last 5+ years that has been VERY effective. I combined psychology, personal development, mindfulness, meditation, & other methods to create this and it’s something I love to incorporate at my live events too! (This year we are taking it up a notch further too! I can’t wait!!) Here’s the basics: Lie or sit down & perform a body scan Tense up your body 3x & release each time with the intention to connect to your body Then for each body part from head to toe say “I love you” 1 at a time “I love you tummy, I love you arms, I love you__” Notice where resistance comes up, don’t fight it, just take mental note. Once you complete it go back to the areas where you felt the most resistance. Think of 1+ things that you can choose to love/appreciate about this part of your body. Then go through each of these areas again including the reason after “I love you”. Ex: “I love u tummy, thank u for breaking down so many nutrients for me so I can perform & function optimally” FEEL THE EMOTION AS YOU SAY IT This works because of a few reasons: ➡️Connection to self & body ➡️Identification of functions of body to detach from physical appearance related distress ➡️Increases awareness so when you find yourself hating these parts of you you’ll be anchored into why these parts of you are awesome ➡️Personal declarations Of course this doesn’t address every facet of body image, but it’s a great ritual & can show you where you need more healing. I have a full guided recording of this exercise that all clients and on-demand mindset coaching platform members have access to.
