Body Myths Revealed
Myth-stakes for May
MYTH: “April Showers Bring May Flowers” is a commonly accepted “myth” that creates false expectations for both months. According to the national weather service, measurable rain fall has less to do with the calendar and everything to do with climatic conditions…which vary from year to year and place to place. For instance, in Hawaii other tropical climates, every month produces ageless blossoms.
FACT: Regardless of when or where flowers appear, we appreciate their fragrance, color, and the promise of eternal youth.
My Story
“You need a lift,” said the sales person as I was shopping for a new dress for my 55th birthday the last day in April.
After trying on several selections, I found the right one. Smiling, I emerged from the dressing room and asked for her feedback of my selection. Watching her face closely for a reaction, her expression was of stunned surprise, not smiling-not frowning, simply staring straight ahead.
“You need a lift,” she hissed, as she pointed a well-manicured index finger at my breasts.
Huh?” I responded.
“If you intend to wear that dress out in public, you need a better bra…”
‘Better’ as in ‘perky’, as in ‘uplift’, as in ‘younger’—BG, or Before Gravity.
Five years ago, B BKS, or Before Body Knowledge System®, her remarks would have reduced me to tears.
Now? No way! Today, it’s MY WAY!
BKS® identified my comfort level and provided me with the confidence to understand where she was coming from without any need or desire to react to her issues.
For a woman who resists the effects of each passing day on her appearance, this salesperson’s May flowers may never bloom.
And what a tragedy that would be…
Because if she were aware of the support her body gives her every single day, she might accept, even welcome, the comfort her body wants to provide.
Body Knowledge System® supports YOU, your way.
Her
remarks are her issue, not mine—
Her perception indicates her estrangement from her body, and the support it’s there to provide, if only she’d open herself to the BKS® option.
Learn more about the origins, the seeds of your judgments, when it applies to others…then tune in to your personal Body Knowledge and smell the flowers…
PS:
Unlike May flowers that are dependent upon the soil, sunshine, and rain,
the flower that is you is never dependent upon the weather or the environment, or
someone else’s opinion of your appearance.
Your outcome stems (pardon the pun) from your input: body, mind, spirit!
I would love to hear your comments.
To your health and happiness,
Stephanie
