Ep 090 - 21 Day Body Image Activity

<p>Welcome to How to Love Your Body, this is Jenna and Lauren, your UnDiet Coaches- on today’s episode we are going to be talking about how you can improve your body image. </p> <p>Before we get started you can download a free worksheet to go along with this episode- <a href='http://www.thebodylovesociety.com/90'>www.thebodylovesociety.com/90</a></p> <p>Body image is such a loaded topic that we’d like to break it down and make it simple for you. We don’t expect you to LOVE your body over night- if there’s been negative body talk for maybe your entire life it makes sense that it wouldn’t be the easiest task to turn around and say “Hey, I actually love my body!” </p> <p>So to make it simple we don’t want to give you 10 million different steps and different tools on how to improve your body image, that may just get overwhelming, and it may discourage you more. </p> <p>So what can you do to make some progress? </p> <p>It takes 21 days to create a habit so we want to invite you to take on 21 days of neutral/ positive body talk. </p> <p>What to do: </p> <p>Every morning or every night (whenever you like to journal) write down 5 neutral statements about your body or if you’re feeling a bit farther along and want to take it on- you can add in positive body statements. </p> <p>The reason you may want to start with being in a neutral place with your body is because it may feel more true to you or more comfortable. </p> <p>Saying… “I have legs” - is neutral, it’s just a statement. </p> <p>You could add….</p> <p>“I have legs that allow me to talk a walk outside that I really enjoy.”</p> <p>This adds a bit of gratitude and may cause you to feel grateful for your body. </p> <p>If you really want to add more to it… </p> <p>“I have strong powerful legs that allow me to move my body in ways I enjoy.”</p> <p>Which statement feels most comfortable for you. Maybe it will take some time to get to a more positive loving statement about your body and that’s okay. </p> <p>Here are more examples: </p>
