Show notes

Safety and balance are two concepts that may seem unrelated, but are in fact inextricably linked. Safety can eventually lead to good health, which can then guide you to balance. Balance, in turn, can lead to a healthy lifestyle and therefore a feeling of safety. Therefore, no matter what problem you may be facing, you should always maintain a baseline level of safety and always strive for a feeling of balance. If both are found, you're likely already well on your way.

A Body-Positive Story From One of Your 10% Jul 27, 2020

Show notes

As you look around this great wide world, you see a broad spectrum of humanity. People of all shapes, sizes, weights, and colors. It is precisely this bountiful variety that makes us so very interesting, so very distinctive, and so very beautiful, to behold. So if you ever find yourself looking in the mirror and focusing on all the tiny little things that make you unique, don't you dare look at them as flaws. They are an amalgam of wonderful little mysteries and histories that hold the key to exactly who you are. And let's be honest: would you rather be someone else? Someone who hasn't gone through what you've gone through? Someone who hasn't lived your life? Someone who is, quite simply, not you? We think not. You be you.
