Learning to listen to and respect your body is a process that takes time and compassion towards yourself.
-The invitation here is to feel yourself. For example, when you feel angry, sad, in difficult moments, WHERE does it feel? Pay attention to your bodily sensations.
-Pay attention to how your body feels. Are parts of your body asleep? Do you feel tired? Do you feel any tension? All these sensations come from the wisdom of your body, they are part of your inner guidance.
-Ask yourself what image you have of yourself. Over the years we go through chronic illnesses, diets and many people develop a self-image that is distorted from reality.
The way you see yourself creates an electromagnetic field around you that transmits these feelings to the world and attracts your reality to you. Choose your signal consciously!
-Observe how you talk to yourself and your body, how much you criticize yourself, your legs, your face, your hair and so on.
Write: “I accept myself unconditionally right now”. Say it to yourself every day while looking into your eyes in the mirror.
Pay attention to your inner critic, give it a name of your own (for example Bety), so you don’t take it personally. This helps you not to identify yourself with the critic, it is another person. Every time that inner critic appears, you can realize that Bety has arrived!
Remember that these are patterns that you have been repeating over time, that were sown perhaps years ago and can be deprogrammed.
Eventually these thoughts lose their power and you can replace them with others such as “How sexy, beautiful, gorgeous I am!”
-Tune in to what you feel on a daily basis: do you feel hungry, tired, do you feel like going to the bathroom? Do you often neglect your body?
-Identify the fears you have inside your body.
For example, not touching your boobs because you think you will find something. The same with your vulva. Start informing yourself and you can touch yourself with love and respect and you can change your relationship with them.
-Think about whether any part of your body is disowned.
Do you consider any part of you unacceptable? For example: farting. Laugh, they are fun, learn to get them out and let it go. Holding them in can cause bloating and abdominal pain. And so on with other parts of your body and its physiology.
-When you feel a bodily sensation, try to keep track of how your day went and understand the trigger, probably an emotional situation.
When a sensation comes up, stop everything you are doing, lie down if you can and stay with your symptom, sensation or emotion. You will be surprised how much your body can tell you.
-Thank your body frequently. Look in the mirror and thank your body for all it has done for you.
There are so many bodily processes (90%) that are not controlled by us.
Recognize that your body is a miracle and that its natural state is nothing but health and joy.
Thank you,
