Tip #2 is inspired by NEDA (National Eating Disorders Association):
Your body is the vehicle to your dreams.
It is easy to look at the body as the sum of its parts: I hate my thighs, I like my eyes, I hate my chin, I like my hair. However, all the parts of the body (parts seen and unseen) function together in complex, extraordinary ways. Today, rather than mentally dividing your body into pieces, think of your body in its entirety. As you end your day express your gratitude to the wholeness of your body. Begin with the following:
“Thank you for carrying me through the day.”
You might find that other gratitudes to your body come to mind. Express as many as you can.
