Body Image ● Social Pressures, Personal pressures, Beauty Pressures
● “All women are insecure in their bodies. It’s
normal.”
● Realize that because you can hear the voice in
What is Body Neutrality? ● How does it differ from Body Positivity? ○ A shift from appearance to functionality. ● The goal is to diminish the power that your appearance has on your mind and thoughts. ○ A mindful practice of examining what is rather than making judgments about what’s good or bad when it comes to your appearance. Lauren Chamberlain ● “I said yes for the girls around the world who might see the issue and see someone who looks like them -- someone who’s thicker, bigger, not as jacked as the typical athlete.”
● “I still deal with that
insecurity. How am I not shaped and curved like that instagram model? But you know what? She can’t hit a ball like me or move like me. She can’t do what I can do.” Weekly Challenge Now, I challenge you this week to sit with yourself and be honest with yourself. Challenge yourself to say the things that the voice in your head says to you but out loud. Listen to it. Then shift it. Paint, draw, practice yoga, work out, anything that shifts the focus of your being from your appearances to your capabilities. Then write about how you feel. And if you can’t shift those words, practice being ok with that. Practice self compassion this week for yourself. Good luck and remember that you are enough, you are more than enough.
