In this Podcast: How to continue living this summer confidently How to break up with societal pressures to lose weight How to shift your mindset to take care of yourself in a positive way, and not get caught up in comparison Let’s talk about Hot Girl Summer - A lot of things have changed this past year, we’ve been through a lot, and some people may not be feeling so confident. - I want to help you feel confident in your skin this summer. You don’t need to wait until you reach your goal to enjoy your life. - Some of J.Go’s clients have said “no” to life because they weren’t feeling confident. They’ve said “no” to vacations, social outings, dating, being in photos. They’ve been missing out on life, choosing to cover up, hide, and avoid mirrors. - Life is too short for any of it. Life is too short to allow our size to dictate how we live our lives. Take Action + Give Yourself Grace - You have to work at being confident every single day - You need to actively fight for that most confident self. You need to allow, hear, and lift up the highest thoughts about yourself. - Actively call out the inner mean girl that’s trying to hold you back and keep you small. - You deserve to put yourself first NOW. And not when you’ve reached a goal weight. - A lot of people have gained weight, managed their mental health, and undergone so much stress and trauma this year. You got through it all. Be proud of yourself and celebrate yourself for working through that and continuing to grow through hard seasons. When The Judgement Comes... - It’s ok to have hard and messy days, they are the in between parts of your journey - Don’t put yourself down, openly love and embrace them - When you’re not feeling great about yourself try acknowledging those feelings. Write them down and ask, “Is this really true?” and “Does it even matter?” - Pause and focus on body acceptance. How do I feel about myself? What do I love about my body? What do I love about me? - Other people’s judgement is really just their reflection. If you want to feel confident in your skin unconditionally, Listen Up: Don’t allow other people’s projections to affect how you live your life. Who they think you are has nothing to do with who you can become. Don’t Wait - Your confidence cannot be tied to your weight. Your weight changes so much, it’s inevitable. But you have the power to embrace yourself unconditionally, so when these changes do happen, you’re not changing how you feel about yourself and your self worth. - Recognize that your confidence goes beyond the sizes and shapes of where you are in your life. You’re allowed to change, but I don’t want your self worth to be fully dependent on that size. - You don’t have to wait until you’re a certain size to do things your most confident self would want. What would she be doing? How would she be talking to herself? What would she be wearing? - Do something small this week that your most confident self would thank you for. Little small changes are what create long-term lifestyle change. They reprogram your brain to stop putting yourself down and lifting yourself up.
