@TheBodySmithUK I love that you are able to create this reframe from losing weight to staying for the benefits. It's important to recognize that exercise offers our bodies so much more than just a number on the scale.

@sandra__gee Hahaha oh yes, I loved that show. Thank you for making me remember.

Many of us have lost touch with our bodies, neglecting their gentle whispers until they turn into agonizing screams.

I vividly remember my own journey when I pushed through knee pain during a running course, unaware of the stress fracture that awaited me.

It marked the start of my my journey to reconnect with my body.

Listen, honor, and care for your body!

Meditation has been shown to help with pain.

It teaches us to navigate it with compassion and equanimity.

By cultivating a mindset of acceptance and gentle curiosity, we can untangle the layers of suffering and find moments of relief and peace, even in the midst of pain.

"Go back and take care of yourself.

Your body needs you,
your feelings need you,
your perceptions need you.

Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it.

Go home and be there for all these things."

Last week, I got to spend my time in the beautiful city of Tallinn, surrounded by coaches from all over the world.

It was an inspiring experience, filled with meaningful connections that have left a lasting impact on me.

My heart is filled with gratitude!

Developing self-awareness requires a willingness to look inward, explore our beliefs and values, and confront uncomfortable truths

It may be challenging, but the rewards are immense

By embracing self-awareness, we open doors to personal transformation and a more authentic life

Does that sound good?

Today, I'd like to introduce Amanda Penalver, who offers incredible guidance on sleep and naps.

Enjoy!

Many of us thrive for perfection, but how about embracing the beauty of imperfection?

It is through our vulnerabilities that we connect with others on a deeper level and experience genuine authenticity.

Embrace your unique quirks and let them shine brightly.

@itsangeladias Blindly following societal norms without questioning our own desires and values limits our potential for true happiness and fulfillment.

It takes courage to challenge those expectations and define our own path.

I'm 35 and not married, it confuses people 😉

@HeatherScalia1 @ForksOverKnives And again: Yumm!

[Inka Valeska Braun @InkaBraun]

@LidiaChmel @HeatherScalia1 I would be interested in that too 😊

[Inka Valeska Braun @InkaBraun]

@HeatherScalia1 30% is really impressive 😮

[Inka Valeska Braun @InkaBraun]

@HeatherScalia1 I have to admit that cooking all my food ahead of time sounds overwhelming 🙈 batch cooking however could be an option 🙃

[Inka Valeska Braun @InkaBraun]

@LidiaChmel This is a great visual. It is also so important to acknowledge that self-care looks different for everyone.

[Inka Valeska Braun @InkaBraun]

@LidiaChmel Great insight Lidia and thank you for sharing so openly.

[Inka Valeska Braun @InkaBraun]

@LidiaChmel For me practicing yoga is for example a way of mindful movement but you could also try to do a walking meditation. You can also find those in the Insight Timer app.

In a fast-paced world, body awareness offers a grounding anchor

By bringing our attention to the present moment and noticing the sensations in our body, we can cultivate a sense of calm and clarity

Try body scanning or mindful movement to foster a deeper connection to your body
