Subject: What are your judgments trying to tell you?
Preheader: Learn how to celebrate your inner critic

Hi %user.name_f%, 

For as long as I can remember, I have judged my body.

“My stomach sticks out. I’m too fat.
…I should have better discipline around those fries.” 🍟

“I can’t lift this box without struggling.
…I should work out more.” 💪

The endless narrative in my head is exhausting.

And it does not matter how much I do to improve my choices, I never believe I am doing enough.

I have spent decades covering myself up.

Now - in my 60s - when I see photos of myself in my 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's, I think, "Wow, I was beautiful." 🌞

I’m 30 years into my self-healing journey.

Yet my inner critic still wants to say "YIKES!" when I look in the mirror… sometimes and not always anymore.

I’m more at peace with my body today than at any other time in my life.

I respect it.  

It works hard.

I appreciate my body for experiencing every single thing in my life — tasting the sweet peach I ate for breakfast. 🍑

Feeling the spiky-yet-soft grass under my feet as I pull weeds. 

I even appreciate when my chest feels tight through anxiety, reminding me to get to the Dr’s office on time. 

Every experience - painful or joyful - has been felt by this body. 

All my life experiences are absorbed by it. 

They reside in it.

Today, I think my body is a miracle.

And I still make judgments about it… sometimes but not always anymore.

The purpose of NVC isn’t to eliminate our judgments. But to notice them for what they are.

Then to work out, what those judgments trying to tell me?
