Me 5 years before VS now.. I recently learnt how we usually overestimate what we can do in a year and underestimate what we can do in 5 years or a decade. Here are some of the significant changes I noticed with me: 1. I had very low self-esteem earlier but now I'm confident 2. I had zero risk taking ability but now I am working on it by taking calculated risks 3. I was easily influenced but now I trust myself to make the right decision 4. I didn't like being alone but now I enjoy and value the time with myself 5. I didn't take my health seriously, didn't eat or sleep well but now physical, mental, and emotional health are my number 1 priority. Curious to know what you think😌

"𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬, 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐮𝐭" I recently read that 61% of adults and 66% of children (🥲) feel negatively about their body image. It’s a shocking statistic. 🤯 One that mind-body therapist Deb Sarah knows only too well. Holding ourselves and others up to unrealistic standards of beauty – is not only hugely damaging to your mental health. But can also manifest in excess clutter in the home. 🏡 The wardrobes full of clothes to be dieted back into. 👗 The bottles and bottles of beauty and health supplements. The beauty cabinets overflowing with all the lotions and potions. Cleverly marketed with the promise to reverse the effects of our ageing, imperfect bodies. Deb’s philosophy is simple: 👇 Our bodies mostly do what they are supposed to. ⬇️ With all the noise in the world we’ve just stopped listening to them. ⬇️ We need to start focussing on our self identity, to slow down and to love ourselves from within. ⬇️ Because when your energy comes from inside, everyone notices. 😊 ⬇️ And lastly, it’s our imperfections that make us beautiful and interesting. Trying to look like everyone else 🥱 Thanks Deb for a really interesting chat. 👇 https://lnkd.in/g5ZX5k7F

Perfection is not in our human nature. So, you may have broken promises that you have made to yourself. The good news is today is a new day and our brains never stop wanting to learn. Consider the barriers you've faced in the past and choose an agreement you want to make now: - eating enough and stopping the habit of skipping meals - trusting your appetite without guilt or fear - paying attention to fullness cues - treating your body with unconditional love and respect - finding pleasurable way to be physically active - practicing mindful eating Now, make a new agreement with yourself. Write it out. Then, begin again. You've got this. xoxo Dr Gia © 2024 Dr Gia Marson, Inc Disclaimer: This post is for educational and informational purposes only and may not be the best fit for you and your personal situation.

⭐ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗘𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝘆𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 & 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 Battling erectile dysfunction (ED)? It's time to push past the embarrassment and stress that cloud your intimate moments. I get how daunting the fear of not being able to perform can be, and the strain it places on your relationships. But letting ED take the reins isn't an option. It can fray the ties that bind you to others and take a toll on your mental well-being. Here's what you can do: ✅Begin by consulting a healthcare provider for a clear understanding and guidance. ✅Implement lifestyle changes like increasing exercise, improving your diet, and if you smoke, now’s the time to quit. ✅Medications such as Sildenafil, Tadalafil, or Vardenafil can be game-changers, but always under medical advice. ✅Address any underlying health issues like diabetes or hypertension that might be contributing factors. ✅Don’t overlook the power of psychological counseling, pelvic floor exercises, or even vacuum erection devices. ✅Broaden your horizons with hormonal therapy, surgical options, natural remedies, and techniques to dial down stress. Embracing these steps can help you regain confidence, strengthen your relationships, and enhance your overall well-being. What strategies have worked for you in overcoming ED?
