Self-Care Hacks to Help Your Physical Self-Care Routines

We can’t blame society for tying our value to our weight because we do the exact same thing. Without meaning, we tie our value to our physical appearance. Sure, societal norms push us toward viewing ourselves through a weight lens. Unfortunately, we focus on scale numbers instead of becoming students of self.


Do we need to look like a starving Hollywood starlet to have a fulfilling life? Absolutely not. Would losing weight make it easier to keep up with our kids or reach our dream of doing something adventurous and amazing? Most likely.


For decades, we’ve believed lies about self-control, weight loss, health, and body image. Unconsciously, we’ve internalized myths about weight loss (including the need for willpower to lose weight). We think eating fat makes us fat, and exercising more will make us lose weight faster. But are these long-held beliefs true?


Too often, we give up on ourselves because we don’t understand ourselves. We need physical self-care routines. Taking time to establish physical self-care routines ranks as one of the most important investments we can make in our lives. We are worth the time and effort.
