How to Love Your Body

My relationship with my body has never been a straight line… maybe you can relate.

In this episode of Taking Flight with Megan Holly, we dive deep into body image healing, self-love, body neutrality, and reconnecting with yourself in a world that constantly tells us we’re not enough.

Whether you're struggling with confidence, navigating body changes, or trying to break free from old stories you picked up in childhood, this episode helps you rewrite the narrative and build a more loving, compassionate relationship with your body.

🌿 In this episode, we explore:

• Why loving your body is a dance, not a straight line
• How childhood comments, cultural messages, and societal standards shape body image
• Why self-worth and appearance must be separated
• How to stop treating your body like a “project” and start seeing it as a teammate
• How to shift from punishment-based movement to joyful, intuitive movement
• How to identify the beliefs you absorbed from others—and release them
• Why perfection is a myth and how to embrace being beautifully human
• How to build trust with your body in each season
• Rituals that support body love: mirror talk, intentional getting ready, embodied affirmations, gratitude routines

💬 Journaling Prompts:

• What messages about my body did I internalize growing up?
• Which of those stories actually belong to other people?
• How can I separate my worth from my appearance today?
• What kind of movement feels joyful—not punishing—to me?
• What is one thing my body did for me today that I can thank it for?

🌟 Body-Love Ritual Ideas:

• Mirror Talk + Music: Pair affirmations with a song that makes you feel powerful.
• Intentional Getting Ready: Choose clothes, earrings, or scents that make you feel good, not look a certain way.
• End-of-Day Gratitude: Thank your body for what it carried you through today—big or small.
• Joyful Movement: Dance, stretch, walk… not to “fix” your body, but to feel good inside it.

❤️ A gentle reminder:

Your body is not a before-and-after project.
It’s your home, your ally, your teammate.
You are worthy in all seasons, shapes, and stages.
