Your body is a vehicle

In the warmer months, we often focus on how our bodies look and how to get into “shape”. Negative body judgements can arise as well as a desire to “fix” perceived flaws. You may find yourself searching for solutions to the imagined problem that is your body. Instead of falling into the trap of believing you need to change how your body looks, I encourage you to be curious about how to change the way you relate to your body.

Rather than being critical of yourself, I invite you to be critical of the unhelpful messages we are bombarded with from the media and our culture that are often internalised unknowingly (hello, “not good enough” beliefs). Turning towards your body with neutrality rather than judgement may be an unfamiliar path, but it is one that may lead to less suffering and greater ease.
