I'm guessing you're thinking that I'm going to give you a rundown of the top actions to take, affirmations to make, and other ways to love your shape.
But I'm not.
It's too sticky, and it's not deep enough. We often avoid truly trying to love our bodies anyway because we think:
1. That we won't make the changes we want to make in our bodies if we love them as they are (whoa)
2. That people will make fun of us for loving the parts of us that we "should" be rejecting (whoa)
Basically, we find it easier to REJECT OUR BODIES than to choose to love them in order to FEEL INCLUDED in a culture THAT FUNDAMENTALLY REJECTS US. We do this by hating on ourselves, carving ourselves, denying ourselves nourishment, playing small and shying away from our gifts and our full self-expression. How effed is that, y'all?
There is so much tied up in our physical presence that it can feel daunting and outright impossible to love our bodies. But what if we looked at it from another standpoint? What if our bodies are the pen and ink that write upon our souls? And what if we gave ourselves over the the spirit and saw our bodies not through the lens of what culture thinks of it, but through the lens of it being the medium with which we indelibly mark upon our sprit? How could this change our view of our bodies and the ways we move through the world?
Let's dive into this radical perspective and what it means for YOU.
