Christine and I had a really honest conversation about body image disruptors and how we deal with them. Disclaimer: we don't have a 'one-size-fits-all' solution for you! But we are here to validate that they happen to almost everyone, that they suck, and that they can really knock you sideways.
It's so hard to avoid comparing yourself to others, to avoid absorbing images that portray 'the ideal body', and to accept your here-and-now body. We get it, we hear it, we hear you!
AND, whilst body image disruptors are a (sucky) part of life, we also want to share with you the tools and strategies that help us to not to get dragged into negative thought spirals when we encounter them.
We'd love to hear from you with strategies that worked for you - what snaps you out of the disrupted state? What tools work in what situation? What are your main triggers?
We hope this episode helps validate your experiences with negative body image, and that it gives you hope that they don't have to define you and how you feel about your body.
Look after yourselves, much love, E&C xx
