Your relationship with yourself is just like any other relationship.
Think of some of the healthiest relationships in your life, whether that might be with a friend, partner, or family member.
What are some of the reasons that you appreciate that relationship?
I’m willing to guess it probably has to do with the following things:
✨Effective communication and being able to work through conflict
✨Feeling valued, heard, seen and understood
✨Your needs and feelings being accounted for
✨Knowing that they will show up for you when it counts
✨Trust, safety, and support
Yet, so often, our culture teaches us (and we believe) that if we shame, guilt, restrict, and berate ourselves into submission, that somehow we will end up healthier.
Rebuilding your relationship with your body and yourself after potentially years of toxic thinking can take time!
But remember - no relationship is without conflict or times of struggle.
And since the longest term relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself, it’s worth investing the time, love and intention into the way you speak to, communicate with, and show up for yourself.
What is one way you want to continue to build your relationship with yourself this week?
