Health esteem emphasizes a balance of embracing who you are now with changes you would like to make.
January is World Health Esteem Month, and serves as a good reminder to acknowledge both:
The good things you have done and are currently doing for you health
The intentions you have to improve your health and well-being in the coming weeks and months
How to practice health esteem
At its core, health esteem really just comes down to your mindset and perspective. While reflecting on self improvement, be careful not to fall into negative thought patterns that chip away at your self esteem.
For example…
Instead of telling yourself that you’re going to exercise because you’re unhappy with your weight, reframe it as valuing yourself and wanting to take care of your body.
