Sweating My Way to Self-Love: A Story About Body Image
•
Maria McBride
It sucks to not like what you see when you look in the mirror.
To measure who you are as an individual based on a physical appearance staring back at you.
To feel like if you could only shrink this or add that or change over there then you would be happy.
But I’ve gotta tell you, in my experience, self-acceptance and self-love doesn’t come when you change what you see, it comes from changing who's looking.
In this episode, I'm sharing my own story about overcoming negative body image and using the practice of Original Hot Yoga (a.k.a. "Bikram Yoga") to help me get there.
