I've been revisiting some old body-image triggers lately. And it's gotten me feeling pretty selfish. In a good way. Like "of the self."
I was thinking about how much we strive for self-acceptance and feeling like we're "enough," and it made me deeply unsatisfied.
For me, self-acceptance and feeling like I'm enough is a pretty low bar. It's like the minimum requirement.
I'm not satisfied with that level of connection or depth of relationship with myself.
And listen, if this is where you're at, I absolutely think you should work with that. It's really important to arrive there.
But what's next?
I want to adore being alive in my body. I want to feel fully expressed in a sensual, beautiful, bursting-with-vitality way.
Of course, I still struggle with parts of myself. And you may never see or know about the parts of my body and myself that I still have trouble being with 100% of the time. Because I'm human.
And if you did see those things, you probably wouldn't see them the way I do, which is sweet and refreshing to think about.
But I really want more. I deserve more.
I really deserve more than the minimum requirement, and so do you.
Imagine this pretend scenario: You "accept" your husband/lovers/friends because they're "enough."
I mean, BLEH!
So why is "acceptance" and "enough" sufficient for how you feel about yourself?
When did this become the standard for the most intimate, lifelong, devoted, 100%-of-the-time partnership you're in?
I say we raise our standards. Like, a lot.
It's not enough to accept this body.
I want to delight in it.
The doorway into delight
The doorway into this for me is deeply nurturing, sensual self-care. Tending to myself like a goddess.
Eating delicious food, moving and strengthening my body, restorative facial care, expressing myself through dancing, movement, hugs, and clothes, and doing the deeper inner work that allows me to do all of it.
These are the ways I cultivate that delicious experience of being in my body. Of actually enjoying myself, my appearance, my sensuality, and the woman I'm becoming.
And this is exactly what I want for the women I work with.
