new rule
every time you think about a body part that you don’t like (me for example, I don’t like my facial hair) you must immediately think about a different part of your body that you do like.
for example if I’m feeling dysphoric about the stubble on my face, I must also think about how I like the curvature of my arms, or how I like the unique amber-green coloring of my eyes. it can be any compliment about your appearance that you can think of
I feel like one of the main things that makes dysphoria so rough is that there isn’t any balance between criticism and compliment, and the more you think about parts of your body that you don’t like, the more they become a focus in your head
sorry for the rambly post but I’m going to be trying this, and I hope it helps someone else who sees this post too
