    You Dismiss Your Body

    Distant relationship with body You tend to reject or ignore many body-related aspects—style, grooming, movement—seeing them as trivial. This rigidity can turn into emotional distance with others. Exploring these beliefs gently (perhaps with support) can help you reconnect to comfort and care.

    A Fair, Not Overly Affectionate Relationship

    Balanced body care You take reasonable care of your body and value a healthy lifestyle, but you don’t especially enjoy your image. You may prefer investing in the intellectual over the physical—and that’s fine. A little more appreciation for how your body supports you daily could boost ease and confidence.
