Poz Body Talk # 9

Self Loved
___________________

“Feeling bad about yourself activates stress centers in the brain that can actually lead to disease,” reports Peter Muennig, M.D. whose recent study showed that women who liked their bodies (whether thin or overweight) felt sick 30% less often than women who wished they were thinner.

Post-it cue:

Love
'as is’

Re-focus ~ Re-frame ~ Re-gain Self

Put one Post-it on your computer screen, one on your bathroom mirror,
one on your frig and one anywhere else you may spend repeated time during the day.

The act of writing imprints the truth on your mind.
Every time you see your handwriting again, it further imprints your mind.

To increase the value of this process, smile when you see a Post-it.
Smiling signals your mind to increase endorphins and imprint what makes you smile.
