EP 30: Cultivating a Body Image of Awe Over Flaws

In episode 30 of The Joyful Health Show, we discuss how to make the switch from fretting over flaws to simply being in awe of God and the intricacies of our bodies. Our visual culture communicates an ideal body image, but comparing ourselves to a different body size typically increases the temptation to diet and leads to symptoms of loneliness, rejection, and isolation. In this episode, Aubrey and Kasey discuss their own transformation stories, the scientific reasons for our culture’s high value on looks, and how starting with grace, speaking God’s word, and stopping diets can help. We talk through: How an increasing emphasis on our visual identity creates a negative body image Social and scientific reasons for the ideal body Practical ways to move our eyes from ourselves to the Lord and His wonderful works Read full show notes at https://joyfulhealth.co/blog/episode30 Join the Joyful Health Course at joyfulhealth.co/course Get started with Intuitive health by grace today with Body Blessings: A 30-Day Journal to Praise God with Your Body through Prayer, Intuitive Eating, and Joyful Movement and the companion course joyfulhealth.co/bodyblessings.  Learn more at joyfulhealth.co Connect with us on Social Media  Instagram: @joyfulhealthco Facebook: Joyful Health Co
