Episode #032 Making Peace with Your Body with Reva Cook, LCSW
“Look younger, feel stronger, lose that stubborn belly fat…” Sound familiar?? Of course it does. These are the themes we see in commercial sales all over the world. The themes are meant to offer solutions to problems we have with our body. The trick is these “problems” may not really be a problem until we are told they are problematic. We are told what “young” looks like, what is “sexy,” and shown what the the most desirable person looks like. We are inundated with this information on a daily basis. It’s not fair, it’s not helpful, and it is a problematic way to see ourselves.
Thats why today we brought in Reva Cook, LCSW to talk about making peace with your body. Reva discusses the health benefits to accepting your body and self as you are TODAY! This concept is thrown around a lot. It is great to start by saying “I love myself they way I am.” It can sure be difficult to remember and follow a mantra like this if we are not aware of internal dialogues that continuously buy into the commercials we see and are hindering our ability to accept ourselves. Reva helps Braxton Challenge the pitfalls that are easy to fall into.
Get ready to challenge your mind and begin a new way of interacting with your body in a way that the beauty industry doesn’t want you to.
