Learning to love your body might feel like an impossible goal. Watching us evolve, age and change often add a layer of disconnect and grief in the process. In this episode, my guest, Dr. Morgan Francis, Doctor of Clinical Psychology, and a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, gives powerful tips to love your body without having to lose weight. We also take a really amazing detour into the vocabulary we use around our children with regard to food and body.
Showing our children that we own our own bodies and appreciate them will help our children see the importance of treating their bodies with respect.
Some of the positive things we can say about our bodies in front of our children include phrases like:
- I feel ____ when I workout.
- I am working on feeling more confident in my clothes and appearance.
- This food makes me feel ___.
