We've been fortunate to be blessed with great weather during the last few weeks. I've dug out my summer clothes again, some of those that I would only wear on holidays abroad. At home, I dress more conservatively and wondered if there is a reason behind that choice.

I have also noticed that I'm still carrying around some old thoughts about the way I look and how I feel about my body. They don't help me to feel better about the way I look, and I think contribute to the low mood and lack of self esteem I have when it comes to my own body image.

So my current challenge is to address that and view my body in a kinder way. I'm exploring the source of those fears and judgment, and exploring how I can take steps daily to improve my thinking. Body empowerment means accepting what I am, losing the negative patterns of thinking, and choosing positive actions instead.
