Rise From Within, with Terri Pugh

169. Why appearance anxiety hides what you achieve in a day


Listen Later

If you spend a lot of your day thinking about how you look, it is easy to assume that your body image and confidence will change depending on what you see in the mirror. What you often miss is how much of your life has nothing to do with your appearance at all. 

Appearance anxiety can take over so quickly that you forget what your day actually involves. You forget the decisions you make, the people you support, the problems you solve and all the ways you show up without even thinking about it.

This week’s article walks you through what is really happening in your day and why your achievements will give you far better evidence of who you are than your appearance ever will. 

When you take a step back and look at your day properly, you will realise how much you do that has nothing to do with your appearance, and it is such a relief when you see it clearly.

So this week I give you an honest look at why feeling confident in your body can be more to do with your actions than your looks, and how much your life already proves this. 

In this episode I also mention Byron Katie's Four Liberating Questions. You can find more on that at https://thework.com/2017/10/four-liberating-questions/
