Hey Reader,

How long have you been at war with your body?

Picking it apart in the mirror. Apologising for how it looks in photos. Whispering cruel things to it that you’d never say to another human being.

I want to say something today that might be the most important thing I’ve ever said to you:​
​Your body is not the problem.
Your relationship with it is.

Your body has carried you through every hard day. Every heartbreak. Every moment you thought you couldn’t go on.

It has breathed for you when you forgot to. Healed you when you weren’t even paying attention. Shown up for you completely - even when you refused to show up for it.

And in return?​
​You gave it criticism.
You gave it shame.
You gave it conditions.

“I’ll love you when you’re smaller.”
“I’ll accept you when you’re different.”
“I’ll stop hiding you when you finally look the way I want.”

That’s not a body problem.

That’s a self-love problem.

Real self-love - the HeartShift kind - doesn’t start when your body changes.
​It starts when your relationship with it does.

✨ TODAY’S AFFIRMATION ✨

"My body is not my enemy. It is my home. And I am learning to love the home I live in.”

Today, try speaking to your body the way you’d speak to someone you love.
​Start there. That’s the whole practice.​
​
​With Hugs & HeartShifts,
