Topics covered:

• Body Image & Self Talk: How do we get to a place where we just LOVE ourselves?
• Tone of voice matters: are we being compassionate or beating ourselves up?
• Recharge those batteries by noticing moments of pleasantness more often.
• Stress on top of stress: the effects of punishment and reinforcement.
• Rewiring our internal dialogue to be gentler and kinder.

• Affirming self-worth: I am worthy, I am lovable.
• Using the 3 C's (capture, cancel, correct) to change our relationship with the scale.
• How comparisons can pull us down rather than buoy us up.
• Noticing and acknowledging as key elements of "letting something go" without just pushing it down.
• Jumping to conclusions - a defence mechanism that prevents us from seeing reality.
• Prioritizing ourselves takes work - it's okay to fall along the way. Just get back up!
• Seeing our truth and reality for what it is - not a sliver of a pie, but the whole pie.
• Dismantling and making new grooves in our brains: it's worth the hard work and time it takes!
• Dopamine and reward: why we enjoy doing hard work and challenging ourselves.
• Cultivating body appreciation.
