     Tis the season. The holiday season from Thanksgiving through New Year’s is a time when we all examine our lives, celebrating some parts and lamenting others. We engage in some endeavor to make action plans to change things in the new year. Sometimes, we want to change things, but can’t figure out exactly what steps to take to be successful.  Read more >

    Brenda Parent // The Body Image Project // Review from Body Image Project on Vimeo.  “The words that play over and over in my head are ‘not enough’.” How do we overcome? The scar from a c-section, cellulite, stretch marks…everyone has something about their body that they feel is less than “ideal”.  Some may view these as badges of honor, earned from life’s challenging events, like the birth of a child.

    Retouching Our Perspective It’s time to retouch our perspective on what is healthy and beautiful.

About Me: 
The connection between mind and body is in many ways our most enduring and intimate relationship, directly impacting behavior, health and well being. Imagine a world where we aren’t so preoccupied with how our bodies look, but focused instead on how they function. Imagine being one healthy whole… in both mind and body. We must commit to thriving. We can’t simply survive while falling prey to expectations, that if strived for, compromise our physical and mental health. Thriving means achieving a genuine peace and contentment surrounding our body image and self worth. We can do this by becoming aware, becoming mindful, improving our own body image and then spreading the word. We can start this movement today by reflecting on ourselves… our real selves. We invite you to join our movement.
