One of the ways you can feel more at peace with your body is to practice body image affirmations. Body image affirmations are statements that affirm a positive strength, quality, or value about your body.
You may have heard about affirmations before and you might be thinking that they’re not for you (I thought this at first, too) but the more I practiced, the more peace I was able to feel with my own body.
To help get you started, we are going to an affirmations activity today.
Grab a piece of paper and a pen and write down 5-10 affirmations about your body. It is important to choose ones that are realistic to you and that you truly believe.
Once you have written them down, read and repeat them to yourself as often as you can
That’s how the body peace journey begins.
Here are some of mine to help get you started.
“My body deserves kindness and respect.”
“My body doesn’t define my self-worth.”
“I am good enough just the way I am.”
“I am so much more than my body.”
“I am thankful for everything my body does for me.”
“I accept my body as it is in this moment.”
P.S Be You Be Free will help you find food freedom, body peace, and joyful exercise and will also assist you in creating your own version of wellbeing so that you can take care of yourself in the best way that works for you. It will help you feel alive, it will help you feel connected, but mostly, it will help you uncover the person that you were meant to be before the world and diet culture told you who you had to be.
