Welcome to another episode of Creating Change with Emma Bradford!

EPISODE 25: Big topic! And especially for many women. Body image and our relationship to our body. Here is a soothing bitesize episode to rewrite the story and start loving your body even more.

Challenges

[1:32] – Most people on some level have had some thoughts or challenges in how they view aspects of their body. This is especially common for women due to the pressures in society.

Beyond the Surface

[3:26] - Flip the script, it’s not about surface level appearances. Notice how your body as a whole gifts you so many wonderful experiences.

[5:00] - The gifts the body can offer. We can write, walk, run, dance etc thanks to the body. We are able to experience so much and we often take it for granted.

Practical Step Forward

[7:45] - Pick one aspect of your body that you feel you can start appreciating right now. Even if it is something small like your nose or your ear giving you the gift of scent or sound.

[9:40] - Choose what works for you, focus on one aspect of your body during a week or one each day until you can start connecting to your body as a whole.

A Vessel to Use

[10:28] - The body is a physical vessel where our energy resides and animates the body. The helps us experience the gifts of this human experience. See the divinity.

[11:25] - It’s not about looking a certain way, it’s about what you get to experience in life thanks to your body.

[11:54] - Menstrual cycles are a wonderful time to connect to the body.

[13:10] - Use a mirror and look at one part of your body in the mirror, notice the thoughts that arise and recognise the gifts that each part offers you.
