5 Ways to Have More Body Love
The way we think about and view our body matters. It matters because when we have a positive body image (or what I’m choosing to call body love), we feel comfortable in our body and happy with the way we look. And when we’re comfortable and happy, then we are able to be in tune with what our body really needs (physically and emotionally). We treat our body well and take care of it instead of beating it up, punishing it with strict diets, disordered eating, intense workouts, or overeating in an attempt to numb out all our emotional distress with food. Here are 5 ways you can begin to…

Your Past
One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever heard is from Dan Sullivan, who said: “You get to take from your past what you want and you get to leave the rest of it behind.” Are you beating yourself up for past mistakes? Berating yourself for things that you did or didn’t do or things you allowed to happen to you? Spending most of your time in your past can be very painful. It doesn’t matter if it’s 20 years ago or just a few days ago. Revisiting the past is usually not helpful. Remember the past is over. What’s done is done. We can’t change the past, no…

Self-Made Prison
Do you sometimes feel like you are is stuck in a prison? You try to free yourself but nothing seems to ever work. You’ve tried program after program, Read diet book after diet book, Self-help post after self-help post None of them work long-term or maybe not at all. You end up feeling more stuck. What if I told you there is a way out? What if I told the key to unlocking the prison cell is YOUR MINDSET. The mind is like a very powerful computer. The things you focus on are what your mind seeks to create for you. At some point and to no fault of your…

Weaknesses
I recently learned an amazing concept from my coach that has changed my life. She taught me that we all have strengths and weaknesses. We were born with them. They’re part of our genetics, our DNA, who we are. Our weaknesses are patterns in our personality type, our natural way of doing and thinking things. The things we came to earth prewired with. Weaknesses are different than bad habits. Habits are things like yelling at our kids, or overeating. Habits are not an engrained part of our DNA. They are something that we’ve learned along the way, and because we’ve learned these behaviors we can completely unlearn these behaviors. The…

What If?
What if happiness = thinness and not thinness = happiness? What if you stopped blaming your body for your unhappiness and decided to just be happy in spite of what your body looks like? What if you decided you loved your body enough to care for it the way it wants to be cared for, not the way the world and our culture teaches? What if you stopped tying your weight to your self-worth and just decide that you’re worthy just because you’re you? What if the way out of your weight struggle was not through changing your body, but through changing the way you think about your body? What…

You Look Amazing!
Most women think that somehow their life will magically be better once they lose the weight. That somehow being thin will make them more confident , beautiful, talented, kind, etc. I used to believe this. I thought I’d feel happy ONCE I lost all the weight and got down to a certain size. I wasted so much time, energy, and money on weight loss. I did lose the weight and guess what? I was still the same old me with the same old insecurities and problems. The truth is your weight does NOT determine how worthy or adequate or talented you are. Self-confidence and BEING ENOUGH and feeling adequate and acceptable…

Valuable
Everything we see and believe is based on our perspective. Our perspective then determines how we feel. When we don’t feel good or happy about ourselves, it is because of the perspective or belief you have about your value. You believe that human value can change. You believe if you could just lose weight, keep the perfect house, have the best well-behaved children, or make a lot of money; your value increases. And if you put on weight, make a mistake, lose your job, or yell at your children; your value decreases. You believe that some people are better than other people, and you’re not one of those people. The…
