It's not about coming from a place of what I would like in this moment, but how can I actually show my body real love? How can I make a choice almost made by someone who has love for this body? There's a deeper sense of real care, almost like parental unconditional flavor to that language that then allows the behaviors that follow that language to shift and not only shift but shift from a totally different space and a totally different energy which then allows you to cultivate a totally different relationship with yourself.
