❤️The only opinion of your body that matters is your own.

❤️Your body is your life vessel that you can either fill with love or hate.

❤️Love will lead to acceptance.

❤️Love will lead to change if that is what you want.

❤️Love will open the doors to new possibilities for you.

"Shoulding yourself" comes from psychologist Clayton Barbeau. It means putting pressure on yourself to do or be something based on what you think you're supposed to do or be. Whatever comes after the should is an obligation, not necessarily a genuine desire. When you over-should, it's often coming from a place of lack, shame and inadequacy. Insecurities and anxiety can go up, and your sense of self-worth can go down.

The brain doesn't like to be wrong.

Every time your brain decides on something (negative or positive), your brain will spend time looking for reasons to back that thought up & seeking opportunities to get it. It's called Psychological Consistency.

So naturally, your words matter.
