It's normal to want people to like you. đ But it's extraordinary to genuinely like yourself so that even when you don't receive the respect you deserve, you still know your worth. đŞđŞđżâ¨
We're here to help our clients with disordered eating find that deep sense of inner security. đ¤ And with the right support, anyone can develop it. đĄ
If you'd like to start boosting your self-respect today, try jotting down affirmations on Post-it notes đ and placing them on your mirror. Here are a few examples:
I'm not a body. I'm a being. đŤ
My self-worth is not defined by my shape or size. đŞđŞđżâ¨
I respect and nurture my body because it's the home of my soul. đď¸
I accept my body as it is, with kindness and love. â¤ď¸
My worth is inherent and unchangeable, regardless of my physical appearance. đ
I celebrate and appreciate my body for all it does for me. đ
My body is my home. đ
Read your affirmation to yourself as you start each day to let its message sink in. You are enough, just as you are. đ
