Making Peace with Our Bodies

All, Mind-Body

January 25, 2022

How we feel about, talk about, nourish and move our bodies matters. We are surrounded by a society that allows/promotes many making a profit off of us not feeling good about our bodies. Diet culture is everywhere and it's just not helping anyone. This week we want to talk about the alternative. What would it look like..how would it feel...how would you show up in the world....how would you show up for yourself....if you were at peace with your body?

The Idea and Practice of the Week

We are combining both sections this week. Below you will first find two exerpts from NPR. Both contain an article as well as a listening piece and both do a fantastic job of taking us through the practice of making peace with food and our bodies.

Diet culture is everywhere. Here’s how to fight it

We also wanted to do something a little different this week. If you are someone who is on Instagram and maybe trying to fill your feed with a more positive, uplifting feel, the accounts below are for you. These are people that are walking the talk when it comes to buliding a beautiful relationship with food and our bodies. Take a look…..
