Hey everyone, Leo Weston here your friendly neighborhood guide to
untangling those messy cravings and rewiring your relationship with food.
Today's episode is a big one. It's all about cultivating
a healthy relationship with your body, something that impacts every
single aspect of our lives. We're talking self love, acceptance, respect,
(00:26):
and ditching those negative voices whispering doubts in your ear.
It's time to shift the focus from chasing an unattainable
ideal to celebrating the incredible machine you inhabit. Think about it,
How often do we fall into the trap of comparing
ourselves to filtered images or unrealistic beauty standards. Ever feel
(00:51):
that pang of envy when scrolling through social media seeing
everyone else seemingly perfect. You know that feeling when your
reflection doesn't quite match up with the picture in your head. Yeah,
been there, done that. But guess what, It's time to
ditch the comparison game and rewrite the narrative. Here are
(01:12):
five key takeaways to help you develop a healthier relationship
with your body. One mindful movement. Remember exercise shouldn't be
about punishment or burning calories. Think of it as a
celebration of what your body can do. A chance to
explore its strength, flexibility, and grace. Find activities you genuinely enjoy,
(01:37):
whether it's dancing like nobody's watching, hiking through nature, or
taking that yoga class you've been eyeing. Two nourish yourself.
This isn't about restrictive diets or demonizing certain foods. It's
about providing your body with a fuel it needs to thrive.
Focus on whole, unprocessed foods, fruits, veggies, lean pro healthy fats,
(02:01):
and listen to your body's hunger cues. Three. Embrace imperfection.
Let's be real, nobody's perfect. Those flaws that we absess
over are actually what make us unique and beautiful. Celebrate
the stretch marks that tell a story of growth, the
freckles that add personality, or even those wobbly bits that
(02:24):
wiggle when you dance. Remember, true beauty comes from within.
Four Positive self talk. Ever, catch yourself putting down your body.
That inner critic needs to take a hike. Replace negative
thoughts with positive affirmations. I am strong, I am capable,
(02:45):
I am worthy. Treat yourself with the same kindness and
compassion you would offer a dear friend. Five. Seek support.
You don't have to go through this alone. Surround yourself
with people who lift you up, celebrate your achievements, and
encourage you to be your best self. Whether it's a
(03:06):
trusted friend, family member, therapist, or online community, finding support
can make all the difference. Let me tell you a
story about a time I was struggling with my own
body image. I was training for a marathon, pushing myself hard,
but constantly comparing myself to other runners who seemed effortlessly graceful.
(03:28):
I felt frustrated and discouraged. One day, during a particularly
tough run, I realized something. I wasn't running against them,
I was running for me. I started focusing on my
own progress, celebrating every milestone, big or small. It was
a game changer. Suddenly the joy of movement returned, and
(03:52):
I felt stronger, both physically and mentally. Remember this journey
is about self discovery, excepteptence and love. It's not about
achieving some idealized standard. It's about honoring the amazing vessel
you inhabit. Embrace your unique beauty, celebrate your strength, and
(04:13):
remember you are worthy of love and respect, just as
you are ready to take charge of your relationship with
your body. Start by acknowledging the negative thoughts and replacing
them with positive affirmations. Pay attention to how food makes
you feel and choose nourishing options that fuel your energy
and well being. And most importantly, celebrate every step you
(04:37):
take towards self love and acceptance, because every little bit counts.
