Resources mentioned in this episode:
Take a media “diet”: Unfollow social media or entertainment that leaves you feeling less than whole. Curate what empowers and nourishes you!
Reach out: Talk to someone you trust about how your environment or relationships affect your self-image. Open conversations can bring unexpected healing.
Expand your definition of self: Try serving or connecting with people outside your usual circles, especially if you’re coping with chronic illness. Broaden your world to see your value beyond your struggles.
