An unconventional approach to stop judging your body

"Ew. I look so gross.” “I AM so gross.” “My belly/cellulite/thighs/ankles/arms/fill-in-the-blank is/are so disgusting.” “My ABC is too XYZ.”
​

Tell me, when was the last time you said or thought something like this about yourself? Be honest. As a women’s coach, I hear this kind of statement, which I would label nothing short of violent, all the time from women, and it absolutely breaks my heart.
​

First of all, let me just say that you are already perfect and no part of you could ever be disgusting. EVER. No matter what.
​

Second of all, fuck the patriarchy for teaching women our value is conditional on a set of specific superficial beauty and body image standards. Fuck the patriarchy for conditioning women to look at ourselves as a set of parts that could always use fixing, alteration, and improvement. Fuck the patriarchy for creating and (for thousands of years) passing down a system that objectifies and judges women like we’re livestock and, as a result, teaches us to do the same to ourselves and each other – sadly from the time we’re quite young. In short, fuck the patriarchy!
​

Now that that’s out of the way, what can we do about it? How do we put an end to this hateful, self-rejecting way of relating to ourselves?

Check out this video for an unconventional approach to do just that — an “outside-in” approach that is focused on changing the way to relate to other women first.
