This final section of the Sweet Bodies mini-course, explores why having a task mindset isn’t helpful when it comes to cultivating body acceptance.

Body acceptance is a practice. It involves returning to the body you have in this moment. 

This final section explores why a task mindset isn’t helpful in cultivating body acceptance. Before we discuss this topic, let’s review your journey today.  

You have set your dream to increase your feelings of acceptance, appreciation, compassion, and kindness toward your body and decrease your hate, anger, disapproval, and disgust. This is awesome. You have explored that pesky pull of the familiar, and you know how easy it is to get stuck in familiar cycles, even when you want to change. In our diet-culture-centered world, it is common to have unkind thoughts about your body, shape, or size that don’t make a good roommate with your body. Because you only have one body, and you see the benefit of self-acceptance, no weight loss required!
