Same Team

The goal is this. You want to remain on the same team as your body. Sounds kind of funny I know…but the second you get all against your body in your thoughts, things don’t flow well, especially as a model. Your body hears every thought that you communicate to it. If suddenly you are seeing yourself through a lense of self-judgement just because of one thing someone who shouldn’t have any weight in your world said, your body hears and feels all of those judgements.

Your body wants to feel safe, and I know that you want to navigate through modeling with a healthy mind and body, SO you must begin to be aware of your thinking. If something was said over you, combat it with truth. Visualize how you want to feel about yourself, and speak to yourself accordingly! The reality is, is that kindness is like medicine the way that laughter is medicine. Showering yourself with kindness daily, is the foundation to everything you do for your health as a model.

Obsession with working out and nutrition, cannot be the foundation…kindness must be. When kindness is the foundation, everything you do is well received because you are listening in to your body, You aren’t judging it, you aren’t picking it apart, and therefore it is safe to rest, digest, and thrive.

Yes this is a process, and one I’m still daily on, but I know that it is truth, and I have become more aware when my thoughts begin to go against my body. Things don’t flow well from that place, and that is why I’m passionate to share this with you too.

Be so kind and gentle with yourself, your body hears it all.
