In this episode of the Joy Muck Club podcast, we dive deep into the powerful and often challenging journey of loving your body when you're living with a chronic illness. We discuss the importance of redefining your sense of self-worth beyond physical health and how to release guilt about your limitations. Rest isn’t a luxury; it's an essential part of self-love, and we explore how to incorporate rest into your routine without feeling guilty or less than.
Key topics covered:
- Why self-worth shouldn’t be tied to your physical capabilities or appearance.
- How to embrace your body with compassion and acceptance, even when it's not functioning the way you’d like.
- Strategies for releasing the guilt surrounding your limitations, and why doing so is a form of self-compassion.
- The importance of rest in the healing process and how taking breaks is an act of self-care, not weakness.
- And I walk you through some simple exercises for building a loving relationship with your body.
