How do I practice self compassion?We lack a lot of self compassion when it comes to our body imageThe mean things we say to ourselves and how negatively we talk about ourselves“I hate my body, stomach, stretch marks, rolls”“I’m not good enough, worthy, attractive”“Ew, I look so fat and disgusting”So I put together a easy to remember acronym - ACTAwareness, AcknowledgmentChallenge, Change, CareThankfulness, Throw it away, Train yourselfACT is my go-to for anytime I’m speaking negatively about myselfIt stops me from going on this downward spiral of self hatred and self loathing and numbing out with social media, binge eating, etcIt’s a practice, we need to train ourselves to react differently then what we’ve been doingThe next time you say something bad about yourself, try practicing ACT and let me know what happens 🧡
