Improve Your Relationship with Food and Body Image with Acceptance Work
Manage episode 303137197 series 2986758
Ever hear "accept your body" and roll your eyes? Sick of toxic positivity that makes happiness seem like the ultimate feeling you should feel all the time? Yes, then this is for you.
Acceptance is a practice, an action of moving through negative emotions, feeling all of its stickiness and ickiness to get to a place of stillness. In this episode, I discuss how moving through these emotions are taking the actions are key to improving your relationship with food, your body and overall relationship with yourself.
I also discuss the Objectification Theory, posed by Barbara Fredrickson and Tomi-Ann Roberts in 1997, and how the overvalue of women's bodies has brought us to an epidemic of body dissatisfaction and the constant drive to look better to feel better.
But what if feeling the pain actually made you stronger?
