All About Body Image (Perception vs. Reality)

This episode is all about body image and how perception is the key player around this topic. Below are some key concepts touched on within the episode! -everyone deals with insecurities, we are all human so understanding and being open about them is huge! -Understanding that it is normal to have good and bad days, especially the female body because in the second half of our cycles (late luteal phase) we have a negative bias. -your brain is more powerful than you think, your mind and neurons perceive what you tell yourself... everything starts with mindset -shouldn’t focus/hyper-fixate on changing your body (creates another layer of stress), should focus on changing how you feel then body changes will follow. -most people are wanting what other people have. Comparison is the theft of joy. Be grateful for your body, instead of picking it apart. -don't be tied to the scale (muscle weighs more than fat) -everyone has different anatomy and anatomical structures -if you want to change something, the work starts with yourself, no one else is going to do it for you…. Start small, you don’t have to drastically change your life at once but start small and build on that.
