About this listen
What if you stopped judging your body for how it looks — and started appreciating what it can do?
This episode explores body functionality appreciation, a research-backed practice that shifts focus from aesthetics to ability. You’ll learn how noticing what your body does builds confidence, self-efficacy, and long-term body image resilience, and how to approach it without slipping into ableism.
We’ll cover:
- The science behind body functionality and why it matters for positive body image
- How self-efficacy and “mastery experiences” boost movement confidence
- Three simple, evidence-based ways to start appreciating your body’s functionality today
