I Am More Than My Body

The Body Neutral Journey

Summary

'Some days I love my body, some days I hate my body, but every day I respect my body.'

What does it really feel like when you respect your body? For many of us, a neutral approach to our physical self, based on compassion and acceptance, requires a revolutionary shift in how we think about ourselves.

I Am More Than My Body will help you strengthen your relationship with yourself and find balance, steering you away from shame without the pressure of having to love your body at all times. It will introduce a framework to help you practice neutral movement, recognise and arm yourself against bias, act with self-compassion, and navigate your feelings on this journey.

A long-time practitioner of the body-neutral approach, Bethany C. Meyers shares their own story together with the experiences and ideas of experts and activists to help us care for our bodies while not having them dictate our worth.
