We know because we are told
that positive body image is important
But what does that mean to you
Do you really know this
Do you understand it in your heart
Positive body image
is self acceptance and self love
Not weak love
obsession
But strong love
compassion
Why is it so easy to beat ourselves up emotionally
And so hard to be self accepting
Maybe neither is easier than the other
but we programme ourselves for one
and forget that the other is totally available to us
So maybe self compassion self love self acceptance
are completely available to you right now
How does that feel
As you are right now you are totally fine
more than fine
Gorgeous Beautiful Strong Compassionate Kind Brave
It doesn’t matter what is going on in your life
how people are reacting around you
They can respond to life in their own way
But you can respond now with compassion and with love
We are emotional creatures
which is a beautiful thing
We have a wide range of emotions available to us at any one time
So choose the emotions you want today
There are plenty of tools that we can use on a daily basis to reset our emotions
get on an even keel be calm navigate our emotional landscape
and not let the day be ruined by a small negative emotion that blows up
and we spend the rest of the day mopping up
and have to start again tomorrow
If you’re not feeling how you want to feel
develop a few shortcut techniques
to get you quickly back to positive body image
Don’t waste your life being at the mercy of emotions
which are supposed to serve you.
Get dressed in clothes that you love
Not in jeans that are too small tops that don’t suit you shoes that you don’t like
That’s beating yourself up and proving to yourself that in some way you’re not worthy
to look good and beautiful and strong and gorgeous
And like you
You deserve to look like you
Because you are you!
