Light a candle, go to a park, settle in with a pen and paper and do some exploration with these prompts to explore and improve body image.
- What do I like about my body? (if you’re feeling courageous you can explore yourself in the mirror.. naked works, too)
- If I saw a woman walk by with the same body as me, what would I think?
- If I could write a letter to my body as if it were a friend and we had been out of touch for a while, what would the letter say?
- Make a list of all of the things your body does for you. Then thank your body for all these things it does.
- If my body could speak today, what would it want from me? What would it ask me?
- What parts of my body ask for more attention or care lately? What might that care look like?
- How does my body respond when I feel safe?
- What messages have I learned about my body growing up that no longer feel helpful?
- What boundaries does my body naturally set that my mind sometimes ignores?
- Write about what you wish your relationship with your body were like. If that were the case, how would life be different?
Take some intentional time to explore these questions.
