How to Stop Worrying About What Other People Think of You

Isn’t it about time we release the weight of other people’s opinions of us?

When I finally put an end to my lifelong struggle with food and weight, I experienced a sense of inner peace I didn’t even know existed.

For the first time in my life I felt… weightless.

Feeling Weightless isn’t just about feeling comfortable in your skin and making peace with food (although those sure are great side-effects), it’s also about releasing anything that weighs on you and stops you from truly being yourself.

Like, other people’s opinions of you.

  • How much time do we spend worrying about what other people think of us?
  • How often do we avoid speaking up because we’re afraid we might say the wrong thing?
  • And how many times do we hide our true selves because we just don’t think we’re good enough?

That sh*t weighs on you, man.

The physical weight on our bodies is often just a representation of the mental and emotional load we’re carrying.

And that stuff doesn’t release through diets alone.
