Body love #1. Freedom

Body love for optimal body composition

There are a multitude of directions in which you can begin to honestly explore self love and positive body image. But it’s not as simple as following a template, Or just telling yourself “I love my body”.
It’s an infinite continuum of self care, acceptance, accountability, hard work and freedom.
These simplistic ideals are easier said than done, and in most cases involve patience, a level of maturity, life experience and a really strong self-awareness.
But let me tell you. When you get there, your body will return the love with internal and external beauty, strength and vitality. But most notably; more joy within the process.

Throughout these ‘body love = a lovely body’ posts I will share a few personal insights regarding body love, that I have personally found very valuable for not only myself, but most importantly with clients of diverse backgrounds, experiences and challenges, over many years.

Today we start at the end. Freedom

Freedom. The icing on the cake when it comes to body love.
When you free yourself from self limiting beliefs, mindsets, actions and a negative internal dialogue you provide yourself with opportunity. Opportunity opens doors to new experiences, challenges, pleasures, stimulating conversations & new relationships.
Freedom is giving yourself permission to enjoy and embrace these opportunities with an open mind and heart, without guilt, shame or other negative behaviours.
When you free yourself from yourself, positive physiological responses cascade throughout your body and mind; including hormone regulation, improved sleep quality, mental clarity, energy production, optimal digestive function and nutrient absorption/bioavailability. Plus way more happy feels. These are the things our body needs for a healthy body composition, that we can sustain and actually enjoy.
