Negative Body Image

It is bikini season. I’ve been on another quest this summer – the quest for the perfect bikini, and now I’ve got 5 bikinis sitting in my room ready to be resold on ebay (sigh…). Why is it so hard to be happy with what we look like in a bikini? Most of us are not going to look like models after having kids & hitting menopause. Who are we trying to kid? It is easy to compare ourselves with younger, more perfect women, and to get negative about the parts that no longer fit that picture. But, are we actually making things worse by feeling negative about our own bodies?

I recently came across some pictures of water crystals from a Japanese scientist who has done studies on the effect of positive or negative thoughts on water. Bless the water, or love the water, and beautiful crystals are formed! Hate the water, and terrible looking crystals are formed!

Now take these findings, and realize that our bodies are over 60% water. If negative thoughts can affect the water crystals, it can do the same to the water in our bodies. And, how can the water be life giving and supportive of health and beauty, if we have destroyed the molecular structure with our hateful comments about ourselves?

Beauty happens from the inside out. By loving yourself, your water molecules will become beautiful, and this beauty will radiate through your whole system and give life and vitality to all your organs. Instead of looking in the mirror, noticing more wrinkles and sags and bags with a negative attitude, what about reminding yourself every day that menopause is about becoming a goddess (and a goddess of course, has to have curves…)

So, the next time you find yourself wearing a bikini, and some skinny gorgeous girl walks by, remind yourself that you are a goddess, and that curves are required – and your water molecules will dance with joy!
