The Body Remembers The Way You Speak To It

It doesn’t just respond to what we eat, how we move, or the products we apply. It responds to how we feel about it. To how we speak to it in the privacy of our thoughts. To how we carry it through the world; rushed, judged, unseen or honoured.

Every time we think we’re not enough, something internal contracts. And every time we offer ourselves grace, the body exhales. Science is catching up to what many have always sensed: our cells are listening. Our nervous system is shaped not only by trauma or illness, but also by self-rejection, by how long we’ve carried the weight of “should.”

And yet, there is immense power in remembering we can change the conversation.

This is not about pretending everything is perfect. It’s about building a relationship with ourselves that is rooted in reverence, not resentment. In witnessing the body not as something to constantly fix, but as something to finally come home to.

When we start to perceive ourselves differently, everything changes. Our posture softens. Our energy shifts. We lead differently. We love differently. And the world reflects us differently.

The way you see yourself becomes a blueprint, not just for your health, but for how others are allowed to see themselves too.

So ask yourself gently: What is my body learning from me today? How am I contributing to the collective narrative and influencing womanhood on the grandest scale? 

That shift might be the most powerful kind of aesthetic intervention there is.
