DISCLAIMER: This podcast episode covers topics that may be sensitive such as body image and how judgmental and harsh we can be towards ourselves.
I really wasn't sure if I was going to move forward with this episode or not because it's extremely personal, and I realized it really is a conversation we need to be having and it's not talked about enough.
My self-talk, the way I saw myself in the mirror, my perception of my looks was completely filtered through the most negative perspective and I didn't realize how it was affecting my life until I had an awakening at NLP Master Practitioner training in 2020.
I realized the way I saw myself wasn't necessarily true, and my journey to loving myself began.
We are so conditioned that we 'should' look a certain way, when in reality we are judging ourselves compared to photoshop and social media filters that aren't realistic or real.
We can be picking ourselves a part when today is the youngest we will be, and someday we will look back and wish we were nicer and loved ourselves more.
Have you ever looked at a photo of yourself from the past and realized how amazing you looked then?
Do you wish you looked that way now?
What if we are missing out on the best years of our lives because we're being so harsh and critical, instead of appreciating our bodies in this moment.
I know this can take time, but what if we started small and just received it when someone gives you a compliment?
What if you look in the mirror today and you find something you're grateful for?
This is a journey and a process to falling in love with yourself again, and it's never too late to realize what's already right in front of you!
