Your body isn’t wrong.

The secret to learning how to trust your body, is to simply get to know her; her needs and desires, and then, here’s the kicker - to honor those needs and desires.

Doing this means we stop trying to fit her into a box that someone else said works for them. We’ve spent so much of our lives focused on the wrong thing. We’ve spent so much of our lives thinking, contorting, striving, hustling, buying, trialing, cleansing, sweating our way to do what other people’s bodies have liked and preferred. Other people who have different bodies than us. And we abandon our own body’s wisdom; we tune out her unique needs, her unique preferences, her unique wants, her unique requests, her unique desires and demands and spend our life pursuing those of another body. Another body, that isn’t our body, but another body that our society has arbitrarily deemed more valuable. Even though that body has nothing to do with our body. Our body knows nothing about that other body. All she knows is us. She knows us. She knows exactly what we need. And we won’t listen to her because we don’t trust her; we don’t want her to be her. We want her to be like that other body that she knows nothing about, so we try to give her the things that other body needs. Because we think we need to change our body to feel good. But here’s our body, giving us signals, trying to lead us, showing us what she needs, showing us how to feel good. She has all the answers and all she needs is for us to pay attention. To listen to her when she’s basically screaming at us.
