Let’s flip the script.
We spend so much time criticizing our bodies—nitpicking what we don’t like, zooming in on every little “flaw,” talking down to ourselves in ways we would never talk to someone we love. And that’s exactly the shift I want to talk about today. Because what if… your body was your best friend?
Seriously. What if you stopped looking at her as something to “fix” and started seeing her for what she really is—your teammate, your ride-or-die, the reason you can move through life at all?
Your body has been with you through everything. Every joyful high, every heartbreaking low, every hard workout, every lazy Sunday on the couch. She shows up for you, day in and day out. Even when you’re not treating her well. Even when you’re not listening. She still shows up.
So imagine this: if she were a person—your best friend—would you speak to her the way you speak to yourself? Would you look her in the eye and say she’s not good enough? That she needs to change to be worthy of care?
Of course not. You’d thank her. You’d cheer her on. You’d take care of her.
That’s the energy I want you to bring into your movement practice. Not punishment. Not shame. But care. Appreciation. Love.
You don’t have to love every single part of how your body looks. This isn’t about toxic positivity. This is about respect. About honoring her. About recognizing that your body is not the problem—it’s the reason you get to experience this life.
Start tuning in. Listen to what she needs. Rest when she’s tired. Move in a way that feels good. Fuel her with things that make her feel strong. And most importantly—speak to her with kindness.
She’s always listening. And she wants to thrive.
Your body isn’t just along for the ride. She is the ride. And when you treat her like your best friend, everything changes. You show up differently. You move differently. You live differently.
So here’s your reminder: Your body is not your enemy. She’s not your project. She’s your partner. Treat her like it.
