Body image is how you see yourself when you look in the mirror or when you picture yourself. It encompasses:
What you believe about your own appearance (including your memories, assumptions, and generalizations).
How you feel about your body, including your height, shape, and weight.
How you sense and control your body as you move. How you physically experience or feel in your body.
Many of us internalize messages starting at a young age that can lead to either positive or negative body image. Listen to this episode about body image, how social media, family and friends can impact how we feel about our body and what you can do to start the process of loving your body.
