Increased Self-Worth
Let's be honest here, how many of us have thought or think these things:
-
I can't wear that because I am too chubby.
-
I can't do exercise because I am too scared of being ridiculed.
-
I can't have my hair short because of my double chin.
-
I can't eat that birthday cake because I will be fat-shamed.
-
I can't apply for that job/promotion because they think chunky people are lazy.
-
I can't go to that party because I'm too fat.
-
I am worthless because I am not physically perfect.
It makes me sad that we think this way. We have been so paralysed by diet culture and by the fear of what others may or may not think of us, that we withdraw from life. This fear leads to us not engaging in physical activity or social interactions. Before we know it, we are depressed, anxious, angry, stuck indoors, going nowhere and we have no self-worth. Diet culture tells us, if we are not a specific number on the scales then we are a failure, that we are weak, greedy, lazy and unworthy.
We should be throwing ourselves into all aspects of a healthy life, living it to the fullest and not caring about what people think of us. When we have tons of self-worth, we realise that we are so much more than just what we weigh.
Solution focused hypnotherapy teaches us how to regain control of our lives in small, manageable steps. We focus on what is going well, what is achievable and what makes us happy. Doing these things will lead to increases in confidence, pride, self-esteem and ultimately self-worth (hurrah!!).
The knock-on effect of all these wonderful things is being in control of our lives and feelings. When we are in control, we tend to make better choices with regard to nutrition, moving our body and having a social life. We can eat food without being scared of it, feeling guilty or shame. We can do any exercise we chose without fear of judgement and we can go to that party, or meet up with friends or look for other meaningful relationships.
Most importantly, we have the confidence to say "up yours" to anyone who judges us because we no longer care what they think.
Imagine how wonderful a life like that would be......
