Transitioning to this lifestyle is a personal journey that happens in daily choices. You can begin integrating these concepts with a few practical steps:

Body positivity doesn't mean you have to love every part of your body every single day. Some days are hard. Some days you might feel disconnected or frustrated. That's human.

The fitness industry has long relied on punishment. Bootcamps. Soreness as a trophy. The belief that if you aren't vomiting, you aren't trying hard enough.
