Practical Skills/Tools for Body Image Healing 
We suggest taking ACTIVE steps and having self-compassion along the way because the relationship with our bodies is imperfect

Behavioral Skills/Tools:

1. Read a body liberation article daily
2. Advocate for weight inclusive care with your doctor and to not be weighed!
3. Use a heating pad or weighted blanket and notice if it provides you w/ any comfort
4. Reduce weight and shape checking
5. Throw out the scale!
6. Buy clothing that fits your body and get rid of the clothes that do not

Cognitive Skills/Tools:

1. Develop 5 compassionate statements and say them to yourself daily
2. Shift your language from saying “I am…” to “I’m having a rough body image day”
3. Re-write the thoughts you have about your body as if you were speaking to a friend
4. Write out your body’s perception of how it feels to not be accepted by you

Emotional Skills/Tools:

1. Say, “I feel bad about my body, and I also feel….” What’s the emotion you are feeling?
2. Identify the physical sensations that go with emotions to build up body awareness

Perception based Skills/Tools:

1. Make a list of your top 10 perceptual triggers
