I've seen quite some books about #bodypositivity and #selflove in the #selfhelp book category over the years, but this seems to be different, and I have read a recommendation about it. I put it on my wish list.

Sonya Renee Taylor:
"The Body Is Not an Apology - The Power of Radical Self-Love"

The book cover shows a fat Black person with fairy wings and a large flower behind their back.

Sonya Renee Taylor
The Body Is Not an Apology, Second Edition

The Power of Radical Self-Love.

Your body was never the problem. This landmark book by activist and poet Sonya Renee Taylor makes the case that body shame isn't a personal flaw it's a social and political tool used to control us. Radical self-love is the antidote, and this fully updated second edition gives you both the understanding and the practice to build it. What's inside: - A clear distinction between radical self-love, body positivity, and self-esteem and why the difference matters- The roots of body shame: how media, capitalism, and systems of oppression manufacture self-hatred across race, size, gender, disability, and more- A four-pillar practice framework for moving from shame into sustained self-love-
Unapologetic agreementstools for extending radical self-love into relationships and communities- New in the second edition: expanded freedom frameworks for fighting systemic body terrorism at organizational and societal levels Who this is for: Anyone who has ever felt their body was too much or not enough and especially readers who feel unseen in mainstream wellness conversations, including fat, disabled, Black, and queer communities. What changes: Readers consistently describe this book as the moment shame stopped feeling like their fault. It's the rare self-love book that is also a social justice framework. If you're ready to stop apologizing for the body you're in, this is your next read.

LOOKS LIKE YOU FORGOT ONCE AGAIN HOW POWERFUL YOU ARE

Now it's time to let things go. While it's true that some behaviors need to be understood and stopped, it is impossible to control every situation, and it's unethical to control other people, so you're going to have to let some things go. #lettinggo #fitbucket #weeklyexercise #selfhelp

Spoon Theory created by Christine Miserandino originated as a way of explaining how we each have a certain supply of energy, and really of ourselves, to deal with things in a day. #survivor #chronicillness #spoons #selfhelp

Don't be afraid of losing people. Be afraid of losing yourself trying to please everyone around you. #SelfHelp

No to AI:
Die Methode "Innere Helfer*innen" - besser als #ChatGPT und Co.

Ich lese immer öfter von Menschen, die Chat GPT oder andere KI Chatbots für therapeutische oder semitherapeutische Zwecke verwenden, oder weil sie sich langweilen, sich einsam oder isoliert fühlen, Rat für ein persönliches Problem suchen, oder für ähnliche Zwecke.

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves."

I was reading a #baseball article this morning when I came across this gem of life advice, something we can all benefit from, courtesy of Sergio Romo.

"It took a long time, but I ended up taking a lot of pride into understanding what made me tick, what lifted me up, what brought me down, what pushed me forward, what held me back, what fired me up and what didn’t. The more I understood that, the less pressure I felt out there."

“I haven’t been dishonest with myself for a very long time. I’m very proud of that. Because I believe there’s someone in this world who should tell you the truth all the time — and it’s yourself.”
