My Top Tips for Body Love

Your relationship with yourself is the most important one you’ll ever have. It wasn’t until I learnt to be kind to myself, and truly practised loving my body that I was able to find a healthy balance in life – for life.

From personal experience, it’s not easy to overcome years of negative self-talk or the pressures we may feel from external sources (such as magazines and social media) to look a certain way. Enough restriction and punishment, it’s time to love every part of you as you are, unconditionally, right now.

Be gentle with yourself, it’s always a work in progress. Here are my top practices that I used to fall in love with my body and truly take care of it, which I continue to use daily to remain in this state of body love….

So It’s that time of the month again and you’re in pain, but everyone has period pain, right? Well, not really…

It is something we hear all the time: ‘I have period pain but my doctor said it’s normal’. What they may mean when they say this is that it’s common.

Severe period pain (also known as dysmenorrhea) has been linked with conditions such as endometriosis.
