Thursday-22/09/11-Thankful Thursday-Rachel-Does the perfect recovery exist?

This week, we were asked by a viewer about whether the "perfect" recovery exists.
My answer is no, and this video explains why.
However, it is also important to note that whilst we have expectations on ourselves to be perfect, it is okay to not always get it right.
Recovery is about learning from our mistakes, our slips, our moments.
We cannot do anything "perfectly" but we can do things to the best of our ability and as long as we are trying, that is what matters.

This week we are bringing together the rota we have covered on body image.
I discuss the ways in which I have, and I believe others have, achieved a positive body image.
Recovery is a long and hard road, yet also, it is full of hope.
Achieving a positive body image is possible!
Hopefully you can apply some of these ideas :)

This may mean not associating with people who are critical or put you down. It might mean engaging in an activity that connects you to your body.
Also, how to break through barriers to positive body image
