COURSE

Silence Self-Judgment & Strengthen Your Confidence

With Kate Eckman

Learn to love, honor, and accept yourself and your body, so you can be the incomparable you. I won’t pretend that it isn’t a challenge to love ourselves in a world that’s constantly telling us not to. But I can attest that your time is better spent cultivating yourself from the inside out rather than struggling to fix “problem areas” and conform to a super slim concept of beauty. Physical workout and beauty regimen don’t help us love ourselves more. That’s an inside job. When you put your attention where it belongs, you can start to change your mind about your body. Only then will you shine with the full light of you.

Discover powerful mindset shifts for achieving unstoppable self-confidence and a healthy relationship with your body.

Lesson 1

Moving From Victim To Victor

We’ve all done it - compared our bodies to other people’s and let criticisms from others or our own negative thoughts get us down. But when we hanker after a “perfect” physique, we waste precious time and energy we could spend nurturing the body and soul we’ve been granted. Learn to free yourself from self-judgment, so you can own who you are and let yourself shine – from the inside out.

Lesson 2

Redefining Beauty

It’s easy to get the message that our physical attractiveness determines our worth. But it couldn’t be more false, and concentrating all our energy on physical beauty sets us up for failure. What if we were to make beauty about who we are, instead, and begin to see it without a mirror or a compliment? Discover how to shape a more complete concept of beauty, so you can look at yourself and others with compassion, grace, and acceptance.

Lesson 3

Choosing To See Yourself Through A Lens Of Love

When we appreciate and value our body for keeping us going every day even if we’re tired or ill, we treat it much more kindly than when we see them as objects that fall short of some ideal. The more we believe in ourselves regardless of how we look, the more we attract people into our lives who see us that way, too. Learn to escape self-sabotage and grant yourself the gift of love. This lesson teaches you how to stop being a slave to your thoughts about your body (or anything else), and start experiencing a new kind of freedom.

Lesson 4

Tips For Loving & Honoring Your Body - Even The "Flaws"

It's become part of what it means to be human: pointing out something that you don't like about yourself, a perceived flaw that needs to be fixed. Let's turn the focus to what we adore about our body instead. In this lesson, Kate shares some of the steps she's taken and committed to that enabled her to love and honor her body, so that you can, too.

Lesson 5

A Simple Mindset Shift To Help You Achieve Your Ultimate Healthy Diet

We don't have to choose between pleasure and wellness. There is a way to indulge in a balanced way. So how do you really start enjoying food? There is a wealth of evidence that focusing on food's sensual pleasure can actually help you find a healthful balance.

Lesson 6

Exploring The Practice Of Mindful Eating And It's Many Health Benefits

Day 6 is about learning how to listen to your body. Our bodies are constantly sending us signals. The problem is, many of us aren't well-learned in listening to our greatest ally. Our mind, which picks up on many self-limiting messages and images from the media, thinks it knows best. The key is to have our minds and bodies in sync with one another. Our bodies need to talk to us, and we need to listen.

Lesson 7

The Holistic Health Practice That Can Snap You Out Of A Funk

The best way I can describe Reiki is that it helps reconnect us with our hearts. Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing method based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us. If this energy starts to run low, we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed, and if it's abundant, we are more capable of health and happiness. Learn how to perform a powerful Reiki self-treatment, which supports deep relaxation and healing by removing internal blocks and balancing the body's energy centers, also known as chakras.

Lesson 8

The Importance Of Building Strong Emotional Muscles

While much societal emphasis is placed on the importance of having a strong, fit, and healthy body, less attention is paid on developing healthy emotional muscles. Control over our feelings needs regular exercise to stay strong as well. We can't control whether or not people are not good to us. But we don't have to let those people steal our joy. Here's how to NOT give away your good mood for free, and a simple breathwork exercise to feel at peace and in alignment.

Lesson 9

How To Finally Stop Comparing Yourself To Others

I don't know about you, but when I compare myself to others I always feel drained, insecure, and unhappy and find myself creating stories about how I'm not good enough. These feelings build stress in my body and leave me unable to operate from a creative, empowered place. When you're comparing yourself to someone else, you aren't focusing on yourself and everything you have to offer the world in your own unique way. Let's make the sometimes difficult but very necessary commitment to stop comparing ourselves to others. Here are five steps to get to started.

Lesson 10

Effective Ways To Let It Go When We're Still Mad

Being human means people will annoy and upset us, circumstances and situations will disappoint us, and we will be left feeling powerless at times. The good news is, we don't have to stay stuck. We can lean back into a more joyful, empowered state. We can feel peaceful. We can trust we are on the right path, and everything is happening for us for the greatest good. On Day 10, we will discuss some spiritual practices to help us feel more blissed out instead of stressed out and bring us back to center in mind, body, and spirit.
