Manage episode 448859781 series 3605668
In todayâs episode of The Balanced Blood Sugar Podcast, weâre diving into a topic that many of us face but rarely talk about: how our body image affects our self-worth, especially when we're struggling with health issues like high blood sugar. Whether we realize it or not, the way we view our bodies can have a powerful impact on how we care for ourselves. But here's the good newsâyou donât have to be stuck in a cycle of negativity!
In this episode, I break down why itâs so important to speak kindly to ourselves, how positive affirmations can rewire our brains for better health, and why your self-worth isnât tied to what you look like or how you feel physically. Youâll learn practical tips on how to stop the negative self-talk and replace it with life-giving words that encourage real change.
In true holistic fashion, I also touch on the spiritual aspect of self-worth, reminding everyone that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by our Creator and that our value goes far beyond what the mirror reflects.
