Ep #115 - Hating Your Body Won’t Help You Look After It

How often do you look at your body and immediately notice what’s “wrong” with it?

The size, the shape, the ageing, the aches, the bits you wish were different…

In this episode, I’m talking about the way we think about our physical bodies — and why hating, criticising or constantly picking yourself apart is never going to help you feel better, take care of yourself, or create lasting change.

This isn’t about pretending you love every single inch of your body. That’s not always realistic, and honestly, it can feel like another stick to beat yourself with.

Instead, I’m inviting you to look for gratitude.

Because your body is doing so much for you.

It lets you walk, breathe, see, hear, speak, hug your children, eat food, move through the world, and experience your life.

And when you start choosing to focus on what your body does for you, rather than only what you think is wrong with it, something shifts.

With love and absolutely no bullshit, this episode will help you start building a kinder, more useful relationship with the body you’ve been given. 

In this episode, I talk about:

•  Why your brain naturally focuses on what’s wrong 
•  Why body hatred doesn’t help you take better care of yourself 
•  The difference between loving your body and feeling grateful for it 
•  How to find something about your body you can appreciate 
•  Why the way you speak to your body matters 

You don’t have to love every bit of your body.

But you can stop being so cruel to it.

And that’s a bloody good place to start.
