'My body is amazing because it gave me the 2 greatest gifts in the world.'
and don't want other women to say mean things about their bodies in front of her, so why was it OK for me to say mean things about my body ? Being an example of self-love and self-confidence is something I strive for, and I felt like I had to walk the walk. I can't just tell her she has to love herself and feel proud of her body — I have to show her how.So one day I stopped. I stopped poking and prodding and judging. And instead, I said three nice things about what I saw. Out loud.
To encourage this positive self-talk, I put a photo of both my kids on my mirror that reminds me to think to myself,"Would you say this to them?" It inspires me to always speak to myself with kindness, because I'm always listening. The more complimentary things I say about myself, the more I focus on them, and the more positive and happy I feel about my body.
Positive self-talk is proven to have immeasurable benefits. Psychologist Amy Vigliotti, PhD, founder of, said,"Our mind and body respond to our inner talk in the same way we respond to someone talking to us. When someone criticizes us, it hurts and affects our relationship with that person. If we talk to ourselves in a devaluing, critical way, we respond with passivity, discouragement, and we tend to hide our true self from the world.
After a couple weeks of making a point to do some serious positive self-talk in front of the mirror, it's become a habit. I don't let negative comments creep in at all — I shut them down. Not only has this helped me feel 100 times better about my belly, but it's also made me happier and more positive all around. So the next time you look in the mirror, choose your thoughts carefully.
