Body positivity has been a buzz word for several years at this point; a hashtag on Instagram and a concept that’s meant to help you feel better about your body and yourself.
But how do you practice it? The idea that we don’t have to hate our bodies sounds great in theory, but in reality, it’s difficult to know how to accomplish it. Are we just supposed to stuff those feelings down when they arise? In some ways, we may even feel more shame for continuing to have negative feelings about our bodies now that it seems there’s another option, and we just can’t figure out how to do it.
The Body Positive (www.thebodypositive.org) is a Berkeley, CA-based non-profit organization that has been helping people develop a peaceful and loving relationship with their bodies since 1996. They teach a model that is comprised of five core Competencies, the fundamental skills we can practice on a daily basis to live peacefully and healthfully in our bodies. Proficiency with these skills allows us to care for ourselves from a place of self-love and appreciation, leading to alignment with our purpose and life goals. The Competencies establish foundational building blocks that honor individual authority as the primary path to positive change. They are:
Reclaim Health
Practice Intuitive Self-Care
Cultivate Self-Love
Declare Your Own Authentic Beauty
Build Community
