Body Love

This is my gentle reminder to you.
Love your body in all its curves and softness.

Caress yourself with loving tenderness.

One of the common barriers my clients have between themselves and a loving, intimate connection with their husbands is the conversation in their minds about their own bodies.

“I’ve gained weight. My legs have more jiggle than they used to. My belly hangs down. I’m don’t like the layer of fat all over my body.”

This nagging inner chatter does not leave much room for feeling turned on, juiced up and playful with our partners.

In fact, these words promote distancing and avoidance of physical contact with our husbands.
Where we once initiated contact, we now hold back, waiting for our partners to prove our attractiveness.

This withholding of physical connection is not working.
Our husbands often follow our lead with stories of their own.

Bring your best fun, playful and flirtatious self to the party.

I encourage my clients to love their bodies exactly as they are right now.
Adore your curves.
Appreciate your soft roundness.

A woman’s sexiness has nothing to do with the number on the scale.

It’s an attitude that only she can create, possess – and exude.

You know what I’m talking about.

Own it.
Flaunt it.
Turn up the dial.

Be your own seductress.

The pictures we see in magazines are not real women.
The patriarchal consumer images of women in glamour magazines are distorted by starvation diets, Photoshopped and airbrushed to convince us that we are not enough.

This glossy, mythical body is a lie.
Avoid its allure like the plague.

Instead admire the bodies of the real women around you.
Observe the broad range of body types.
Witness the spectrum of beauty in all its womanly magnificence.

The thing about women’s bodies is that they are constantly changing.
Our bodies go through puberty, hormonal bloat, pregnancy, post-pregnancy, perimenopause, and aging itself.

The moments are few and far between when we arrive at and maintain our ideal weight.

What if we loved our body at every phase and stage of womanhood?

Be your own best fan and generator of flirtatious fun.
Start with yourself.
Then share your sensuous self with your hubby.

Go out and practice.
Caress yourself with loving tenderness.

Love your body in all its curves and softness.

Here are 5 easy suggestions:
1. Get enough sleep. Establish a bedtime routine and follow it. 
2. Get outside in nature every day. Rain or shine. 
3. Appreciate what is wonderful in the world. Write 3-5 things you are grateful for each day.
4. Reach out to a sister. Call her once a week – or every day. Ask how she is and what she is feeling. Give her the space to release her feelings without any judgment or fixing.
5. Treat yourself to pleasure. Dance. Take a nap. Sing out loud. Read a novel. Soak in the tub. Do anything you want – just for the pleasure of it. 

With all my love.
From my heart to yours.
