EP 30: Cultivating a Body Image of Awe Over Flaws
In episode 30 of The Joyful Health Show, we discuss how to make the switch from fretting over flaws to simply being in awe of God and the intricacies of our bodies. Our visual culture communicates an ideal body image, but comparing ourselves to a different body size typically increases the temptation to diet and leads to symptoms of loneliness, rejection, and isolation. In this episode, Aubrey and Kasey discuss their own transformation stories, the scientific reasons for our cultureā€™s high value on looks, and how starting with grace, speaking Godā€™s word, and stopping diets can help. We talk through:
- How an increasing emphasis on our visual identity creates a negative body image
- Social and scientific reasons for the ideal body
- Practical ways to move our eyes from ourselves to the Lord and His wonderful works
