BodyAwe

I have been exploring the notion of creating a better body image and have become more aware of how advertising influences our self-esteem with our bodies with negative and positive messages.

My questions to you are:

• Has your body been sending you messages about health issues?
• Are you just experiencing day to day aches and pains?
• Or, do you accept the way you look and the other relationships in your life are flowing?

Whether it is aches and pains or joyful moments, let’s go on this better body image journey together and explore techniques and tools for creating good self-esteem.

========================

The Truth about Self Esteem

=========================

Self Esteem: it is a way of thinking, feeling and acting that implies that you accept, respect, trust, and believe in yourself.

========================

Consider these beliefs

(from Body Knowledge System®)

========================

• Respect your own uniqueness
• Be your own Best Friend (treat yourself like you would treat others)
• When outside environmental challenges come your way , you maintain consistency with your own values that make you happy
• You deserve everything that makes you happy
• You learn to practice confidence to do things your way

This is wonderful to read on paper but let’s start using tools and techniques to practice and make these beliefs a part of your daily lifestyle.

A technique you can practice right away is the Body Knowledge Dance®. You can do this in your living room or in your head.

1. Set an intention in words. For example: I love being in tune with my body and what she is telling me.
2. Picture your intention
3. Now literally “move with the words” (just move freely)
4. Imagine what you are wearing and the music you are hearing in your mind
5. Commit this dance to memory so you can dance the movement in your head

The Body Knowledge System® has been created to address your body Image issues and help you practice on a daily basis simple and fun techniques to boost your self-esteem. Self-esteem and better body image go hand in hand

Today, I invite you to answer three questions. Answering these questions can give you a better sense of how you can create the self- esteem that will guide you to do all the things you set out to do.

Remember, my system is sustainable because it is NOT a ‘one size fits all.’ You create your own better body image on your own terms and in your own way.
