There is feeling good IN your body...and there is feeling good ABOUT your body. They aren't always the same thing.
Feeling good IN your body often indicates that you need to change something. And sometimes, yes, these changes are good. Such as:
Getting stronger
Getting more nourished
Getting more rest
Getting more stamina
Getting the toxic out (food, drinks, people, media, etc.)
But I've know lots of women who externally hit all the marks, have the "right" body fat percentage, wear the "right" size, have the "right" number on the scale and still don't feel good about their body.
Because I can promise you...after 20 years of working with women....it's not about the external, it's about the internal. It's about the mindset.
How we feel about our body can stay the same, despite the external. And it doesn't always have to be LOVE that we feel (that's way too much pressure).
But it can be respect.
It can be appreciation.
It can be compassion.
I want to give women practical tools to help them genuinely feel better IN their bodies...to feel strong, confident, nourished...to rock their favorite outfit...to love getting dressed in the morning...to feel sexy with their partner. These are all okay and even important.
BUT, this without healing the relationship with your body will only lead to more angst because how we feel will always be dependent on the external and the truth is bodies change. For all sorts of reasons. Especially in midlife.
You may not always feel good in your body. Honestly, that can change from day to day. But how you feel ABOUT your body can become more stable, more healthy, more accepting. And the irony is, the more we do this, the more we find treating our body with kindness is easy...which often leads to feeling better IN our body.
If you need help with this....feeling better IN your body but also ABOUT your body...I'm starting a new 6-week program called THRIVE on March 30th. I'll post the link in the comments. If you feel this would be a good fit for you, you can use the code: FEELBETTER to get 50% off since you are in my inner Facebook group circle 😉
