Body Image & Self Talk: How do we get to a place where we just LOVE ourselves?Tone of voice matters: are we being compassionate or beating ourselves up?Recharge those batteries by noticing moments of pleasantness more often.Stress on top of stress: the effects of punishment and reinforcement.Rewiring our internal dialogue to be gentler and kinder.Words and the origins of our negative self-talk and body image.How the people around us and the cultures we grew up in influence our thoughts about ourselves.Affirming self-worth: I am worthy, I am lovable.Using the 3 C's (capture, cancel, correct) to change our relationship with the scale.How comparisons can pull us down rather than buoy us up.Noticing and acknowledging as key elements of "letting something go" without just pushing it down.Jumping to conclusions - a defence mechanism that prevents us from seeing reality.Prioritizing ourselves takes work - it's okay to fall along the way. Just get back up!Seeing our truth and reality for what it is - not a sliver of a pie, but the whole pie.Dismantling and making new grooves in our brains: it's worth the hard work and time it takes!Dopamine and reward: why we enjoy doing hard work and challenging ourselves.Cultivating body appreciation.Loving whatever you see reflected at you in the mirror.
