Imagine a graph with  two lines. One indicates happiness, the other tracks how you feel about your  body. If you're like millions of people, the lines do not intersect. But what  if they did?   This practical,  inspirational, and visually lively book shows you how to create a healthier  and happier life by treating yourself with compassion rather than shame. It  shows the way to a sense of well-being attained by understanding how to love,  connect, and care for yourself-and that includes your mind as well as your  body.   Body Kindness is based on four  principles.   WHAT YOU DO: the choices  you make about food, exercise, sleep, and more   HOW YOU FEEL: befriending your emotions and  standing up to the unhelpful voice in your head   WHO YOU ARE: goal-setting based on your  personal values   WHERE YOU BELONG:  body-loving support from people and communities that help you create a  meaningful life   With mind and body  exercises to keep your energy spiraling up and prompts to help you identify  what YOU really want and care about, Body Kindness helps you let go of things  you can't control and embrace the things you can by finding the  workable, daily steps that fit you best. Think of it as the anti-diet book  that leads to a more joyful and meaningful life!
