Resending: "I Can't Get My Mind and Body on the Same Page"

Hi friend -

A woman said to me recently, "I can't get my mind and body on the same page." She was talking specifically about sex and intimacy. She wanted to feel good about her body, to feel sexy, and to enjoy sex with her husband, but found instead that she usually viewed her body negatively, wondered if her husband really thought she was sexy, and struggled to enjoy sex.

Do you know that feeling? I sure do. I've struggled with it on and off (maybe more on than off) throughout my marriage. And getting older doesn't make that disconnect between my mind and body any easier to overcome!

But sex isn't the only area in which women feel this kind of disconnect. Another woman said to me recently, "I know I need to eat healthier. I've done it before, I know I can do it, but right now I just don't want to do it." Her mind knows what she needs to do, but she can't quite get her body on the same page.

The same thing happens with exercise. And with deciding to follow your dream. And with making other positive changes that you know you need to make.

Your mind knows what you need to do, but you just can't quite get your body in gear to do it.

If you find yourself in that position, whether it's about sex or healthy living or following your dreams or anything else, I shared on the blog today 3 steps you can take to bridge your mind-body disconnect, including:

1. Identify the lie

2. Replace the lie with the truth

3. Do one thing to embrace the truth.

If you'd like to work on getting your mind and body on the same page when it comes to sex and intimacy, body image, your health, or anything else that's important to you, find out how to use these three simple steps, starting today.

If you sometimes feel like you can't get your mind and body in sync, or you know that you're believing lies, I hope that these steps and the resources in the article will help you. Give them a try this week and let me know how they work for you. You can reply to this message or email me at gc@calmhealthysexy.com.
