Listen to this three-minute guided mindfulness exercise to help you cultivate a kinder, more compassionate relationship with your body. And keep reading after the meditation for more advice.Sometimes we hold negative feelings about our bodies that we inherited from parents, friends or social media.

It takes courage to rewrite your story and change the narratives you’ve been told or are telling yourself.Change won’t happen immediately, but over time, we may begin to notice how that inner critic transforms into an inner friend.
