We are all raised with certain beliefs. Some are good, and well some need to be re-evaluated!
When you take a closer look at the beliefs that a girl grows up with you can start to understand why so many of us struggle with what we have and what we have done.
Get married, have kids, create a career that is compatible with being a mom and wife.
Women did house work. Women cooked meals that made their husbands happy.
Women are always pleasant.
Women never complain that they are sick or need help
And if you do not accomplish or become these things you are a failure. Not good enough. Not a woman.
I definently reframed those beliefs when it came to raising my 2 daughters and son.
The beliefs that I reframed had to do with linking my success, happiness, love, laughter, joy, commitment, pure existence and so many more to my body size.
If I was overweight I wasn’t smart, I wasn’t pretty enough, I wasn’t someone people wanted to admit they were friends with, I wasn’t worthy enough, I didn’t deserve nice things….honestly the list can go on and on.
I am here to talk about how I credited being thin to a happy time in my life, when in fact I was happy because I was doing something that I not only loved but was really great at. So that made me very confident, and confidence is sexy and desirable. In the end none of it came from being thin.
In this podcast I mention my friend Jenn Laforet, and the podcast I co-hosted with her that talks about reframing old beliefs, you can catch that podcast here https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/bloom-notes-in-bloom-celebrating-moments-of-joy/id1600607837?i=1000547537417.
