Feeling disconnected from others?

It could be because you are disconnected from yourself, emotionally and/or physically.

Our emotional and physical relationships with ourselves are the foundation for our connections with others.

Imagine trying to charge your phone, but the outlet is not connected to power. Even if the phone and the charging cable both work, your phone will not be able to charge.
Similarly, if we are not connected to ourselves emotionally and/or physically, we are not available to connect to others, no matter how hard we may try.

As such, we must prioritize our relationships with ourselves! Then we can feel more connected and loved!

Save this post to remember this!

This is a framework to…
Work through our body’s impact.

We live in a world where our bodies influence our day-to-day lives, whether we like it or not.

What do we do about this?

Acknowledge our feelings about this reality, & work to connect ourselves to a purpose greater & more meaningful than our bodies.

Getting here can be hard, but our DMs are always open to help!

Let’s address what most people don’t talk about…

We all experience body insecurities, whether we have an eating disorder or not.

So what do we do?!

We must be critical thinkers and ask ourselves the above questions!

Perhaps our bodies aren’t really the problem, and perhaps we are expecting our bodies to solve problems they could not possibly solve!

If this is the case, step back and reevaluate your approach to overcome the insecurities.

Save this post! These are crucial questions to work through body insecurities :)

What if I told you that it just takes these healing stages to work through your negative body image?

Now it’s not easy, but it is simple.

Stage One -
We must ask ourselves:
Are my negative feelings about my body the real issue?

OR

Are they just part of the issue, and I am focusing on negative body image as a way of avoiding looking at deeper, more uncomfortable emotional needs.

Typically, we use our bodies to solve unmet emotional needs.

Stage Two -
We now have to find a way to meet our emotional needs in a healthy way. And at the same time, we must use tools to help us trust our bodies. (Working with a specialist can help on this part.)

Stage Three -
In this stage, we begin to accept our bodies as they are and release the hurtful pressures we have placed on them in the past.

Save this post as a reminder that you can work through all 3 stages of healing!
