Can I Love Myself & Want To Change Myself? | Body Positivity

It's a Complicated Cultural Conundrum . . .  We're fed so much
BS about how we SHOULD feel about ourselves, most of us have
totally lost sight of how we actually DO feel about ourselves.
 Diet Culture tells us that we don't measure up if we don't
look this way, eat this way, exercise this way, etc.  The Body
Positivity Culture tells that we should love ourselves however we
look but if we don't love ourselves then we somehow don't measure
up to the standards of that either! These two ideas suggest that I
CANNOT both love myself and not love myself at the same time.
  So I'm calling BS again! The simple answer is that HOWEVER
you feel about your body is okay.  It might not be helpful,
but it IS okay. And yes, you absolutely CAN love yourself but also
want to change yourself as well.  Neither Diet Culture nor
Body Positivity Culture make room for this conversation, so I am!
 In this episode we'll explore:  - What is Body
Positivity Culture? What does it get right and what does it get
wrong?  - How do I change my body image? Where does it come
from?  - What if I DON'T honestly love myself all the time?
What then?  - What if I DO want to change something about
myself? Why is that "bad"?  - The importance of health vs
looks - how to shift your focus  - Why your body positive
affirmations aren't working and what to do instead  I try not
to subscribe to either culture (although it's so prevalent, that's
hard!) because the truth, as usual, lies somewhere in the middle.
 Somewhere in the space between resenting our perceived
"flaws" and achieving self-love, lies the sweet spot on the path of
self-improvement and appreciation.  The spot where you can
just BE.     If anything in this episode resonated with
you, I'd LOVE to hear about it! Send me a DM

Mind & Body Re-Bootcamp! Finally, the TRUTH about why those
diets haven't worked. It's time for a Re-Boot! If you’re a woman
struggling with the diet rollercoaster, you already know that it’s
impossible to get lasting results when you HATE your diet.
 Unfortunately most women make the mistake of seeking out
ANOTHER diet, hoping that will be the one, only to be disappointed
again.  If you don’t know how your body and mind actually
work, you’ll NEVER get the results you want, and you’ll just keep
spinning your wheels wasting time, money and your sanity.
 That’s why I’ve set up a FREE mini course - to help you
recognize the beliefs and habits that keep you stuck, and ELEVATE
your health skill set so you never get stuck on the diet hamster
wheel again! FREE Re-Bootcamp

  Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Coaching Program &
Membership! Ditch the Diets and Finally Make Peace with Food If you
struggle with yo-yo dieting then you know how hard it is to make
any real lasting change.  Unfortunately most women get stuck
in the belief that being on a diet is the only way to lose weight
and get healthy, and when they inevitably fail they’ve destroyed
their self esteem, destroyed their relationship with food, and get
stuck in a guilt/shame spiral that starts the whole process over
again.   If you don’t understand how reprogram your mind that
is sabotaging you, and reprogram your body for health, you’ll never
make lasting progress.   That’s why I created the Healthy
Mind, Healthy Body Program; to teach you how to make a real,
lasting transformation in your Mind AND Body.
