“The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself”. -Maya Angelou

For this "5 Things Friday" we're covering steps you can take to improve your body image.

How we think about ourself is such an important factor in how we treat ourself. Our perception of our body gets filtered through our beliefs, experiences, upbringing, and other sociocultural factors. The good news is our perception of self and body can change.

Tune into advice from Summer Innanen on how to break out of the diet culture cage so you can wear, say, and do whatever you want.

THE FIVE STEPS:

• Embrace Body Neutrality (3:00)
• Ditch the Scale (5:00)
• Cultivate Self-Compassion (9:00)
• Stop Checking the Mirror (13:00)
• Rewire your Brain (15:00)
