Your brain has a sneaky enemy, and it’s not your body.
That enemy is a mental filter called body dysmorphia. It tricks your mind into zooming in on flaws that no one else even notices.
It doesn’t show you the truth. It shows you a distorted version of yourself and convinces you it’s real. That’s why you spend so much time checking mirrors, hiding your body, or asking for reassurance.
But it never feels good enough, because the problem isn’t your body. It’s your mind.
You can’t fight a reflection. You have to retrain the brain that created it.
Your body doesn’t need fixing. Your mind needs healing.
That starts by shifting your focus from how you look to how you feel.
Can you feel your breath right now?
The ground under your feet?
Your heart beating?
That’s your real body. That’s where the truth lives.
Every time you bring your attention back to the present moment, you weaken the voice of body dysmorphia. That’s not just self-care, it’s mental training.
The work isn’t changing your body. The work is changing your mind. And that’s where your power is.
