Are You Feeding Your Worthiness or Starving It?
Have you ever noticed how differently you treat your body when you’re loving yourself… versus when you’re frustrated, exhausted, or feeling “not enough”?
This thought came to me one morning as I was lying in bed:
When you love yourself, you naturally take better care of your body.
Not from punishment.
Not from shame.
But from devotion.
What Loving Your Body Really Looks Like
When you’re rooted in self-love, you begin to:
Nourish your body with real, vibrant foods
Ask it what it needs, instead of telling it to “get over it”
Move it with kindness and joy, not punishment
Touch it, feel it, and listen to its whispers before they become screams
You shift from fighting your body…
to actually partnering with it.
That’s what I call Self-Love Nutrition — the way you feed, speak to, and care for your body as an expression of your worthiness.
Every Bite is a Message
What if I told you that every bite you take is either:
Feeding your worthiness
orStarving it
We’ve been taught to count calories, carbs, points, and macros.
But what about counting the moments we quietly betray ourselves?
Every rushed meal eaten standing at the counter
Every day we skip nutrients our body is begging for
Every time we put our needs last and call it “no big deal”
It’s not just about food.
It’s about the energy behind our choices.
Are we eating from love — or from autopilot, stress, and self-neglect?
If your body is craving a simple, fresh start, I’d love to have you join me for Shaklee’s 5-Day Reset—a gentle, done-for-you reboot to nourish your body back to balance.
Self-Love Isn’t Just Bubble Baths
Self-love isn’t just affirmations, candles, or a luxurious bath (though I’m here for all of that).
Self-love is also:
What you put on your plate
What you allow into your body
How you speak to yourself when no one’s listening
How willing you are to pause and ask, “What do I truly need?”
Because the person you claim to love most — you — is living inside the body you’re caring for (or not caring for) every single day.
Your Body Is Not the Problem. She’s Your Home.
Maybe you’re not making choices that serve you right now.
Maybe you’ve been grabbing whatever’s easiest, ignoring your own hunger, or pushing past your limits.
Please hear this: It’s okay.
You are not “bad” or “failing.”
You are simply out of practice in listening to yourself.
The beautiful part?
You can begin again right now.
When you choose to love yourself a little more, everything starts to shift:
You become more present with your body
You pause before reaching for the thing that leaves you drained
You discover it doesn’t actually take more discipline…
it takes more gentleness
More love leads to:
More happiness
More ease
More energy
More clarity
A Simple Self-Love Check-In With Your Body
Here’s a gentle practice you can try today:
Pause for 60 seconds.
Put your hand on your heart and your other hand on your belly. Take a slow, deep breath.Ask your body:
“What do you need from me today?”
Maybe the answer is:
Real food that loves you back
A glass of water
A stretch break
An early bedtime
Less sugar, less rushing, more presence
Choose one tiny act of love.
Not everything. Just one thing you’re willing to honor today.
That one choice is you feeding your worthiness.
Simple Self-Love Habits to Nourish Your Worth
Keep this part easy and doable. A few ideas:
Morning check-in: Before you touch your phone, place a hand on your heart and ask, “How are you, really?”
Love on your plate: Aim for at least one colorful, real-food meal a day that feels like it’s loving you back.
Speak kindly: Catch one harsh thought about your body and gently replace it with, “Thank you, body, for carrying me through this life.”
Rest without guilt: Give yourself permission to rest before you’re completely depleted. Rest is not a reward; it’s a requirement.
Gentle Fitness Tips for Midlife and Beyond
Movement doesn’t have to be extreme to be effective. Let it feel good:
Move a little, often: 10–15 minutes of walking, stretching, or dancing in your kitchen absolutely counts.
Choose joy over punishment: Pick movement you enjoy — walking with a friend, yoga, dancing, light strength training — not workouts that make you dread your day.
Strength is self-love: Include a bit of resistance (bands, light weights, bodyweight) a few times a week to support your bones, joints, and longevity.
Listen to your body’s “yes” and “no”: Some days she wants a power walk, some days a slow stretch. Both are valid and valuable.
Let movement be a way you say, “I care about you,” to your body — not, “You’re not good enough yet.”
Speak Kindly to Your Body: Affirmations to Nourish Your Worth
Try saying one or two of these out loud, or write them on a sticky note where you’ll see them:
“My body is not my enemy; she’s my home, and I choose to honor her.”
“Every loving choice I make for my body is an act of self-worth.”
“I listen to what my body needs, and I respond with kindness.”
“I deserve to feel nourished, energized, and cared for — every single day.”
“When I return to my heart, I return to my power — including how I care for my body.”
Pick the one that lands deepest and carry it with you this week.
You’re Allowed to Choose You
You don’t have to overhaul your entire life overnight.
You simply begin by asking:
“Is this choice feeding my worthiness or starving it?”
And then, as often as you can…
choose the option that feels like love.
That is Self-Love Nutrition.
That is how you begin to live more fully alive — from the inside out.
