Get to know your body intimately.
How much time have you spent really getting to know your body? Take time to learn your curves, your peaks, your moles, your dimples, and all of the beautiful details in between. Even take time to learn your body’s language, what it is trying to tell you when you have physical ebbs and flows throughout the day. Getting to know your body and speaking the same language will make you feel closer and more connected to your physical self.
Do something nice for your body every single day.
Get in the practice of loving yourself every single day. This includes doing something special or nice for your body to help it recognize that it is loved – and for you to remember that you love it. This can be stretching, giving yourself a foot or hand massage, soaking in a tub, or wearing things that are pleasing to your senses (like fuzzy socks).
Go on dates with your body!
This may sound weird, but really this just means giving your body new experiences. Go on walks, try a new dance class, go hiking on a new trail, or try new foods. By creating new and positive experiences with your body, you expose it and yourself to new things and can prove all that your body is capable of. This also helps to create new neural pathways in your brain that tell you that you love your body and all the beautiful experiences it allows you to have.
