The BODcast: S2E12

The season finale!

Today’s episode is dropping to give you some affirmations to take into 2022. 

I’ve seen plenty of great advice about not letting the diet industry wreak havoc on your body and mind this week - actually, that advice is great for any week. 

If that has felt like it was easier said than done, let me remind you of some important truths. 

Accepting these and reminding yourself of them will help you build up your resilience to negative and harmful messaging - knowing positive truths about yourself will do more for your body image than you’d think!

You deserved to feel good about yourself every year. This year will be different because now you know that to be true. 

You are allowed to set boundaries. It’s important and you will always look back and be glad you stood by them. 

You can communicate your needs and wants. There is nothing shameful about them. 

Your intuition is powerful. If something feels off - it probably is.

You do not need to chase people. You deserve to be loved as you are, in the ways that you want. 

Your body is not a measure of your value in the world. 

Not everyone is where you are. You have the capacity for compassion and understanding to allow others space to continue their learning and unlearning. 

The things you were told as a child may not have been true; you deserve to protect and nourish your inner child as you would any other child. 

Toxic relationships do not need to be maintained no matter who they’re with. You deserve to thrive when you’re connected with others and yourself.  

Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do (that one’s just for me).

And finally, the reminder I’ve been giving you all year and will continue to do in 2022:

Your body, my body, every body is a good body.
