💛When was the last time you looked at yourself in the mirror naked. 💛With valentines day on Monday I suggest you LOVE YOURSELF FIRST!
💛I loath being photographed but for you I’m sharing this private photo. I can point out my things I’d like to change. But I also focus on what I like & I’m real - flesh & blood with flaws & loved bits.
😞Photos are the part of my job & social media I struggle with - see last weeks blog - I struggle but I don’t quit
💛Do you look at your body like it something you love? Look and tell yourself about the bits you love!
😞Going from "I hate my body" to something more positive will take time and conscious effort.
😞If you have a negative relationship with your body then let’s work on a positive, healthy one.
😞Ditch the narrative that looking a certain way will make you happier.
😔Looking a certain way will not make you happy. Look at all the literal fashion models with drug addictions and eating disorders!"
💛Make it a habit to do something good for your body every day. Maybe it's doing a refreshing face mask or enjoying a relaxing bath with the works - beautiful salts, body wash, body lotion for after.
💛This is all about training your brain to associate your body with positive feelings. Make it a habit to shower your body with love, and it'll start to feel natural and instinctual over time.
👍🏻Exercise is a natural way to increase energy, reduce stress, and keep our bodies healthy.
😔But when we look at exercise as a weight loss or body-shaping tool, we turn something that's nourishing into something that's hurtful and even hateful toward our body.
💛Exercise as a way to love your body—not as a way to change or fight it. I love what fitness has done for my body and I think of the word STRONG before anything else!
💛This week we are SWAPPING something food, sedentary life - drink - I’m swapping a routine dinner for a new recipe - what’s your February swap!
💛So show your body you LOVE IT by doing something this weekend that brings your body JOY! Maybe exercise based - a walk with a friend, a bike ride to a cafe (herbal tea?), swimming in the waves or dress up for dinner in your home!
❤️Have a great weekend & see if you can LOVE YOURSELF A LITTLE MORE!
