#061 How to Find Peace With Your Body

In This Episode

In a recent interview, Nina Manolson talks about the causes and effects of poor body image, and how to get help if you’re struggling. Nina tells us,  “we have the ability to change the wave of body hate and body shame in our society, and we have the power to shift how the next generation sees themselves in the mirror.”

Key Takeaways:

• With the support of a body-peace coach, you can learn to stop the inner conflict you have with your body.
• The $72 billion diet culture tells us we are not ok, that the shape that we have is not ok.
• The culture tells us we aren’t enough, and that gets passed on to our girls.
• We will believe that being thin is powerful, yet we shy away from being truly in our power.
• Treat your body as if you are in a relationship with it.  You have to nurture your body and speak to it with love and compassion.
• As women, we don’t want to manage, and we want someone to be on our side, an ally.  That’s exactly what the body wants from us; an ally.
• Transitioning from “body love” to a body relationship where it is ok to relax and speak the truth leads to true body appreciation, peace, and authentic body love.
