in the past, i was sexually abused. currently, i don't respect myself and consider my body as an object. i don't care about my body and i can't approach it with respect. how to love myself and my body?
Discussion
Start a Sun Square on Sunday tomorrow or Sunday next week for self-esteem. You can use any affirmation or add onto this one:
"I love myself! My self-esteem is increasing exponentially in a positive way for me, now and permanently." - Affirm 10 times.
Your body is your greatest possession, it is the one thing that can never be taken away from you.
So sorry to hear this happened to you :(
In addition to the advice already given, affirm to yourself when you have an energy buzz (after doing yoga or breathing exercises) that you are valuable and precious, and that you respect yourself again.
Take care of yourself, tend to your needs, and don't be angry at yourself. Your body is part of who you are, so you need to value and respect yourself again. This will take time, so don't be discouraged if you don't notice results right away. Just keep taking care of yourself :)
