LETS TALK ABOUT BODY POSITIVITY AND HOW IT IMPACTS YOUR MENTAL HEALTH!

Uncategorized Oct 19, 2020

Let’s talk about bodies and how your relationship with your physical body plays a big part in your mental health.

 

Before I specialised in anxiety, my previous niche was weight loss, but not calorie counting and watching what you eat, cutting out vital food groups or any of that nonsense. I used to teach - and still do - about loving yourself back into shape.

 

I believe in being healthy and strong, living life and getting out of your own way so that you are really connected to your purpose and passion and in that moment, in that time and space. Your body will become happy and your weight will become healthy and you will feel like you can enjoy your life without obsessing over what you are consuming.

 

I have had lots on of clients whose mental health directly relates to body image.

 

I know too well the angst of feeling stressed and anxious because your body doesn’t look like it used to, or it could do or how the models look on social media. This constant comparison trap that many people find themselves in is literally the thief of joy and can have your anxiety bubbling over in super speed. 

 

Learning to love the skin you’re in goes so far in sorting out mental and emotional well-being, yet becoming mentally and emotionally stronger has a massive impact on your body as you’ll be less likely to comfort eat and more likely to look after yourself in a kind and compassionate way.

 

Here are some tips which can get you going so that you can balance yourself emotionally, create stronger mindset and impact your physical body for the best:

 

  • You have to have a daily ritual – start the day with simple breathing or meditation techniques

 

  • Exercise even if it’s for 15 minutes every day – do it in the morning so that you set yourself up for the day. You will feel more energised, happier, stronger and more likely to eat healthy food

 

  • Limit your alcohol consumption, that’s going to trigger negative thoughts and create bad eating habits too

 

  • Listen to motivational podcasts/videos about health and wellbeing

 

  • Start by focusing on parts of your body that you like and then start telling yourself how attractive these parts are, even if it’s your toes, it doesn’t matter

 

 

  • Remind yourself that you are unique and you’re perfectly imperfect just the way you are

 

  • Practice daily kindness. If you wouldn’t speak to your best friend like it, don’t talk to yourself like it! Simple.

 

Imagine a world where you loved yourself fully and completely how would that look for you?

 

Write it down…what would you do different?

 

That will help you to keep practicing self-love and kindness.
