Your words hit home deeply. Judgements cast over us by others belong to them, meaning THEY have decided to take them on as truth. As long as 'they' continue to speak those beliefs and words into 'truth' those words are true for them, but they do not have to be true for you. It's all too common that those who cast negativity unto us, have indeed experienced a similar negativity, or harsh judgement from others too. Along with all of the inner work we do with conjuring positive thoughts, and loving our bodies- we have outer work to do too, and often it involves others.<br />It is a strange phenomena; I have noticed periods of life- where upon my physicality changing, both in gaining and loosing weight-(some) people around me had a hard time letting me either be heavier in my weight, or loose weight. They picked on me either way.- This may reflect (a) their own judgements of themselves and (b) belief patterns gifted to them from their loved ones. I remember having deep issues with my mother not being able to show me affection when I was little. Then I looked at how my grandmother never showed my mother affection- and Bingo! We all have a degree of 'learned' programming in our cells that literally reside in our body tissues. Thats why when we tackle these issues deep at their core, it can be so powerful, because we are changing the d.n.a. we were born with. Whoooop! Hope this isn't getting too cray-cray !lol- Though I truly believe we come into this life with with what our ancestors and family and society gives us. It is up to us if we want to go with it, or not. <br />So- maybe an angle you can consider to help in loving yourself 'the way you are', lays in expressing love to those around you more too. Try it on, like a blouse or a skirt! See how that mindset feels and next time someone you love or even 'like' expresses something judgmental or negative towards you, your body image etc- remember you do not have to own it!- you can give it back to them in a powerfully graceful way and share love too by not reacting how you may have in the past. Let them know they are beautiful or tell them you love them- completely flip the script and raise the energy to a positive note. That will surely begin to create a new blueprint for you, your mom and all else involved. And it will begin to change the whole schematics of a learned called and response. I personally feel my mom used to hurt me with her words when I was little - and I would just cry. But now I see it as an opportunity to see her for her and hold my space steady in myself. It can be HARD WORK- especially when it is someone as close as a mom.. but over time, if you can share some of the love she wants to feel and experience in her life too, you may have quite amazing transformations occurring. Sometimes we have to be the adult, and treat our parents with the tender love they missed out on as a child. Be LOve! LOve Yourself and LOve the Mom too- show her how easy it is to be nice and loving.

The light you bring ripples out in all directions :) . Agreed, we are all so different and we all definitely have the power to be better every day. Often we feel alone when sitting with resistance due to complex issues of self-love or body images, yet we have so much in common. It is my hope to connect the dots of understanding so we may love ourselves more and more, together- and in the light of each other.

This is amazing! I resonated so much...Wow, Tuesday! This is amazing! I resonated so much with your blog..I am a regular in your friday class and want to say that what i've read so far in your blog has already helped me so much! When i was growing up, because i was a dancer, lots of food was off limits to me. My mom was constantly watching my weight making sure i wasnt getting too big "for the stage". My obsession with food actually ended up costing me a few dance jobs and then i knew it was true: I was too fat to be in "the industry"...fast forward to today and my mother, although i understand her fears and i love her dearly, keeps telling me if i dont lose weight i won't find the kind of man i want :( how can i learn how to love myself the way i am?samarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01310624380824021544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520467661685797922.post-85647320925007000012013-06-27T23:00:46.837-07:002013-06-27T23:00:46.837-07:00Thank you Tuesday!

We all come in different sizes and shapes, but we're all unique, beautiful and have the power to be better and better everyday! <br />Thanks for the inspiration :) <br /><br />xoxo<br />GiovannaGiovannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530928248419254680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520467661685797922.post-38784748537245282012013-06-13T16:40:56.741-07:002013-06-13T16:40:56.741-07:00Blessings Erika, Thank You for reading and Thank Y...Blessings Erika, Thank You for reading and Thank You for sharing your personal journey. Yes, flipping the script is deep work, we have to be sooo on it- as the mind will continue spinning out old thought patterns. It can be a battle of sorts.. Its all about entertaining ONLY those thoughts that help us feel happy and uplifted, versus the ones that bring us down or keep us in a place of self limitation. Maybe your body is ready to grow 'anew' and if having smaller breasts makes you FEEL happier and fulfilled, then yes, sit with that and you will know for sure in time. Also, ask the intuitive nature of your body. It will tell you if it is ready for that kind of a change. With Love & Gratitude..i love my beautiful bodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282469612675786264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520467661685797922.post-61041861227307499322013-06-13T08:25:02.837-07:002013-06-13T08:25:02.837-07:00It's amazing how I look back at some pictures ...It's amazing how I look back at some pictures of when I was thin and think, man I used to think I was so fat back then. I'm not sure if I'm in that same head space now again. Like you I had the ups the downs the 165lbs to the 189lbs. I am now thinking about breast reduction surgery to bring my G cups to a D cup. I am going to do the homework and as you say "flip the script" and see if my feelings about my breast don't change. Thanks for sharing this, and it's so good to see that there is something else besides crash diets and exercise. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08433306368319242360noreply@blogger.com
