Healing the relationship with myself pt 2: addressing struggles with my body
✨ Falling in love with my body has been a JOURNEY that is ongoing and has included SO MUCH patience, gratitude, self-discovery, trust && a lot of ups and downs.
For so long, I saw my body through the lens of what it lacked or how I could be smaller. And at other times how good it was in hopes that people would like me more?? Now, I’m working to love it for what it gives me—the strength and ability to move, the softness to nurture, the power to hopefully create a life one day, and the wisdom to heal.
I’m learning to honor it, not for how it looks, but for how it feels and all that it does for me. Also through this process I have been going back and sending these past versions of self so much love and gratitude. Not just for all of the different body types but for all of the different experiences I lived as these versions self. Bringing awareness to all of the struggles I had when I was in these different versions of self. Remembering the hard parts and how much I compared my body to others and how much hate I even had for my body back then..
Truly seeing myself and giving myself the love and attention I was so desperately looking for in all of the wrong ways..
Loving yourself isn’t an overnight transformation; it’s a daily practice of kindness, communication, and connection. If you’re on this path too, know that your body is worthy of love exactly as it is right now. 💖
Let’s celebrate the beauty of coming home to ourselves. 🧚🏼
