The Importance of Compassion
In our quest for self-improvement, it can be easy to focus excessively on outward appearances. However, true wellbeing comes from within. While lifting our butts through exercise can provide health benefits, more vital is lifting each other up with compassion.
Cultivating Self-Acceptance
We all have areas where we feel insecure. Learning self-acceptance despite our perceived flaws allows our inner light to shine through. Regular exercise helps us feel more comfortable in our skin, as does speaking kindly to ourselves.
Community Support
Surrounding ourselves with positive social connections who reinforce our worth plays a huge role in self-image. Seek out friendships that make you feel accepted as you are. Lift each other up through compassion rather than criticism.
Holistic Health Habits
Along with exercise, nourishing our bodies with whole foods, managing stress, getting enough sleep, and making time for hobbies we enjoy promotes wellness. Strive for balance between caring for your body and mind.
