Be kind to your body There are moments when we all speak negatively to our bodies, but it’s time to stop begrudging our stretch marks, moaning about our shape, or resenting our poor eyesight – and instead remember just how wonderful our bodies really are... Writing | Claire Munnings Our bodies are amazing – they help us explore the world around us, and enable us to live our best lives possible, and yet, so often we grumble about them, and treat them with contempt. But what if we tried switching our mindset and celebrated our bodies instead of resenting them? “We’ve all become used to the idea that there’s a ‘perfect’ body,” says Lana Walker, a holistic massage therapist, and EFT practitioner. “But that’s not reality.

In fact, research suggests that a poor body image can be associated with a poorer quality of life, anxiety, psychological distress, and a higher risk of unhealthy eating behaviours. So what’s the answer? “Certainly not looking in the mirror and feeding ourselves with more selfhatred,” says Carly Chamberlain, a holistic health expert. “We must break this cycle by moving forward with positive internal dialogue, and other acts of selflove and self-worth. “Having space and time is the real key to connecting with ourselves, and tuning-in to our body’s needs,” she adds. “We need to reset, stop punishing ourselves, and cease sabotaging our greatness.” Keen to put this into practice? Our experts share their advice… REPEAT POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS Changing your internal dialogue and the way you speak to yourself is the first step in altering your perception, according to both >>>
