Body Positivity & Wellness: Redefining What It Means to Be Healthy
Core Philosophy Statement
“Wellness is not a punishment. It is not a shape, a size, or an aesthetic. Wellness is how you treat yourself when no one is watching.”
- Low self-esteem: When we're constantly comparing ourselves to unrealistic ideals, it's easy to feel inadequate and insecure.
- Unhealthy behaviors: In an effort to achieve a certain body shape or weight, we may engage in extreme dieting, over-exercising, or other unhealthy behaviors that compromise our physical and mental health.
- Body dissatisfaction: When we focus on changing our bodies to fit someone else's ideal, we can develop a negative body image and become dissatisfied with our own bodies.
Key Components of a Wellness Lifestyle
The Importance of Body Positivity
- Mindful eating: Focus on nourishing your body with whole, healthy foods, rather than restricting or labeling certain foods as "good" or "bad."
- Intuitive exercise: Engage in physical activities that bring you joy, whether it's walking, yoga, or dancing. Listen to your body and take rest days when needed.
- Self-care: Prioritize activities that promote relaxation and stress relief, such as meditation, reading, or spending time in nature.
- Positive affirmations: Practice daily affirmations that promote self-love and acceptance, such as "My body is strong and capable" or "I am worthy of love and respect, regardless of my weight."
