Are You at Constant War With Your Body?

FROM NINA MANOLSON

Did you know that women, on average, criticize themselves eight times a day?

 

According to a 2016 Weight Watchers survey, this constant self-criticism starts as early as 9:30 a.m. each morning. 

 

And in a Glamour magazine survey, 97% of women reported experiencing at least one "I hate my body" moment daily!!!

 

I find these statistics alarming, but unfortunately not surprising 😢

 

Do these numbers surprise you?

Do you totally relate?

Do you criticize yourself even more than these surveys talk about?

 

If you're in the painful cycle of body-hate and body-shame it's really important to understand that it’s not your fault. 

 

Society has ingrained in us the harmful habits of body-hate and body-shame:

 

• Body-Hate: The belief that our worth is tied to how our bodies look, leading us to focus on perceived flaws and imperfections rather than embracing our bodies as they are.
• Body-Shame: The deep-seated feeling that we are fundamentally flawed because we don't meet society's impossible standards of beauty, making us feel unworthy of love and acceptance.

 

And...there’s a BIG cost to living with body-hate and body-shame.

 

Here's The Impact of Body Criticism:

 

• Erosion of Self-Worth: Constant self-criticism chips away at our confidence and self-esteem, making us feel unworthy of love and acceptance.

 

• Mental and Emotional Strain: This relentless focus on perceived flaws leads to anxiety, depression, and a diminished sense of well-being.

 

• Lack of Wellbeing-Promoting Behaviors: Body dissatisfaction often leads to neglecting self-care and avoiding healthy habits that support overall wellness.

 

But it doesn't have to be this way. 

 

There’s a path to a healthier, more compassionate relationship with your body—Body-Peace.

 

Body-Peace is the practice of being in a nurturing and respectful relationship with your body, free from the harsh judgment and criticism that's held you back.
