Your Self-Care Scoop: Summer 2023 Edition

In honor of Pride month (which is still going on here in Fort Collins – check out the Persist with Pride event this weekend!), this season’s newsletter is about body image. It includes a longer article on body image itself, as well as two self-care activities that will help give yours a boost. It should go without saying that we are amazing however we are, but unfortunately it doesn’t. One of my favorite things to do is to give a stranger a compliment. I might tell the dancer at a concert I love their moves, or a passer-by that I like their dress. To the kid who is worried how everyone around them is judging them – and I was that kid – it matters. To the 32 year old on my massage table who hates the look of a scar from an accident, it matters. To the 60 year old whose wrinkles and gray hair don’t match up with the version of themselves they hold in their mind, it mattters. Maybe today you give it a try – when you see something you like, let the person know. You’ll be surprised by the sheer happiness it can evoke!
