Body shaming is a deeply personal and pervasive issue, and in this episode of 'Happiness Is An Inside Job', Lynda Emmett tackles it head-on. With her background as a Life and Neuroscience Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Rapid Transformation Therapist, Lynda brings a wealth of experience to the discussion. She shares her own struggles with body shame, recounting how it impacted her life from her teens to her mid-30s.
Lynda explains that body shame often stems from low self-worth and societal conditioning, which can manifest in various ways for men and women. For women, it's often about their physical appearance, while for men, it's about the fear of appearing weak. She emphasises that body shame can lead to harmful behaviours and negative self-talk, which only perpetuate the cycle of low self-esteem and poor body image. Lynda delves into how society and media play significant roles in perpetuating body shame.
From unrealistic beauty standards to the 'rate or slate' culture on social media, we're constantly bombarded with messages that our bodies are not good enough. This constant comparison can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-criticism. Lynda also touches on the billion-euro industry built on making us feel uncomfortable in our own skin, from shapewear to restrictive clothing. But it's not all doom and gloom. Lynda offers practical advice on how to combat body shame and reclaim your self-worth.
She suggests starting by taking ownership of your body and viewing it through kinder eyes. Get rid of clothing that makes you feel bad about yourself and be mindful of the negative judgments you pass on yourself and others. Lynda stresses the importance of self-compassion and patience, reminding us that change is possible and starts from within. So, if you've ever struggled with body shame or know someone who has, this episode is a must-listen.
It's packed with valuable insights and actionable steps to help you break free from the shackles of negative self-image. Remember, you're worth it.
