“What can I do about this???”
A surprising number of women have asked me this question recently. When they ask about “this”, they are alluding to the bits and bumps they have discovered, the ones that magically appear over the years.
At first, I was trying to think of postures that would raise the heart rate and target the muscles – like standing postures and sun salutations. But later that day another woman shared her recipe for success: “since I’ve started getting outside and being active – daily, whatever that day may allow for: walking or running – as well as doing a little yoga, I’ve felt happier and healthier. I don’t find myself worrying as much about this spot or that bump. Not that my body is exactly the way I always wanted; instead, I’m just happier so they don’t bother me as much.”
When you are active and tuning into your body, you will treat it better. You will feel inclined to eat healthier and drink more water. With consistency you will start to see the body as a reflection of your lifestyle, and like the last woman, you will let your body be.
