EP 29: How Prayer Practically Changes Our Body Image

In episode 29 of The Joyful Health Show, we discuss how prayer practically changes our body image. Body image is the perception of ourselves in the mirror, how we feel in our body, and our sense of control within our body throughout the day. These thoughts or feelings about ourselves  and reflection are shaped by our mind’s body ideal as influenced by media, family, or friends. While these voices are important, what’s even more impactful on body image is hearing what God says about us by connecting with Him through Scripture-focused prayer. In this episode, Aubrey and Kasey discuss personal stories of body image, how prayer affects the brain, and how time with God moves us from preoccupation with ourselves to praise for him. We discuss: How body image is a multifaceted perspective processed by our brains What prayer is, and how it changes your brain around body image Practical ways to establish a twelve-minute prayer routine to improve your body image Read full show notes at https://joyfulhealth.co/blog/episode29 Join the Joyful Health Course at joyfulhealth.co/course Get started with Intuitive health by grace today with Body Blessings: A 30-Day Journal to Praise God with Your Body through Prayer, Intuitive Eating, and Joyful Movement and the companion course joyfulhealth.co/bodyblessings.  Learn more at joyfulhealth.co Connect with us on Social Media  Instagram: @joyfulhealthco Facebook: Joyful Health Co
