Empowering!

I was glad to jump into the Love Your Body Challenge with Kara. I’ve worked with her before and had such positive experiences, so I trusted her to both create a safe and loving space and offer tools that I can use whenever and as often as I need them. I also recently restarted the “My Healthy Foundation” program Kara offers and thought this challenge would help me feel even more supported and connected to my “why” (Why do I want to love my body? Why do I want a healthy body?). The Love Your Body Challenge definitely did that, and then some!

Now that I’ve completed this challenge (it’s my second time), my awareness of what it means to love my body, to love myself, has deepened, while my capacity for joy has expanded. I noticed more about myself, noticed more about loving my body, noticed more about shifting ways of thinking that no longer serve me.

Since I’ve done one of these challenges before, I have a stronger foundation than I did the first time. This challenge was different though- it goes so much deeper and further than the one I did previously.

I loved it so much! I would absolutely recommend this to my family and friends–or anyone embarking on a healthy lifestyle. 

the practices I have learned have drastically changed my life.

Punishing my body is like telling my creator that what he gave me as a gift in this form was not good enough. NOTE: Be careful of the things you say, even to yourself. We as creatures of divinity, create as we speak! Pause for a moment and think about the things we say even inside our heads to ourselves.

My whole life I have been fighting battles with my body. I would starve myself and punish my body and genetics for not being the way I felt it should be.

As many times as I have tried to not intentionally destroy my body I have come up short. The past 6 or so months I have been part of a group called the “Love Your Body Challenge.” This was created by a kindred soul, Kara Sorensen. Since I have been part of this group I have learned I don’t have to wake war on the creation God has gifted me. But to love and nurture it to great shape and health!

It is so scary to think I would have, without a doubt continued to punish my body for the rest of my life had it not been for the insights and practices Kara has taught me. I love me some me!! Now, my outside is reflecting the love I have for my inside!!

The ware I have waged against myself was mean and cruel. I am bursting with joy as I tell you now, there is a cease fire! Harmony and peace are becoming my natural state. I am so full of gratitude!!!

On a very realistic not, the practices I have learned have drastically changed my life. However I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you sometimes it’s day by day, sometimes hour by hour CHOICE to love yourself. Now, some of the things I do to honor myself and love my body are second nature. Get started!! It will be so very worth it!! As time goes on, it does get easier.

Thank you Kara!! 

Kara helps us to come back to the place of loving your body.

I absolutely loved the Love Your Body Challenge!!! I came to a point in my life where I was ready to be healthy and have a good relationship with food and my body. I declared this to the Universe, and a couple of days later, I receive an email invitation for this program!

Right away, you can see how much love and care, Kara has put into crafting this program to help us love, learn, and live with our bodies. The Body Blueprint is such an amazing tool in getting crystal clear on what you want of your body, the steps to get you there, and even how to navigate roadblocks and obstacles. The daily body challenges and exercises are varied. They can be fun, liberating, challenging, and sometimes a little scary, but always with the love, support, and encouragement that Kara shows to each of us personally as well as support of the Facebook community group.

I believe all positive change start with love, and that is the foundation of this program. Kara helps us to come back to the place of loving your body and for that, I am ever grateful.

I feel more ‘connected’ with who I am and who I am here to be than ever before.

I began Kara’s ‘Love Your Body Challenge’ and tried to be really consistent. This was pretty simple to do when I first woke up and again most nights initially on going to sleep. This really simple process began a process of profound changes. I came to realize I actually felt guilty eating meat. I had previously been vegetarian for 15 years but as life changed, and my partner wasn’t vegetarian, I slowly resumed meat eating! I found myself not wanting to eat meat any more and the transition was a no brainer. My body was actually craving vegetarian food. Just recently, I noticed that I have become more confident in myself, with the way I look in my body and the results I am achieving in my work. Previously, my lack of confidence has been a huge barrier in my moving forward. The only thing I have been doing differently is Kara’s challenge! This has been an amazing journey as I feel more ‘connected’ with who I am and who I am here to be than ever before. This has been the best life changing program I have done and would recommend it to everyone. I am so grateful for your program Kara. Thank you.

Kara’s program is an empowering process that nourishes our physical and emotional needs.

I found Kara’s Love Your Body Challenge to be a full-spectrum approach to how we relate to, treat and respond to our body’s unique needs. I was able to set my personal goals and even though losing weight was one of them, I discovered it wasn’t the most important. It’s easy for me to detach and think of my body as “it.” It feels this, it did this, it doesn’t look good. During the challenge I was able to see and make the connection that should seem so obvious – my body is me. I can only love myself if I love my body. It’s a miracle that enables me to accomplish extraordinary things – including just being and living each day.

Now, I understand that my body consciousness as an evolving process. I’m still working towards a weigh that is more ideal for me, and I’m able to do it with gratitude, energy, and guilt-free. Kara’s program is an empowering process that nourishes our physical and emotional needs – absolutely no deprivation found here.

Within 2 or 3 days of starting the challenge, huge shifts were happening in my relationship with my body.

Before Kara’s challenge I spent a lot of time beating up my body in an attempt to force it to still be the competitive athlete I was 15 years ago because that was the only way I knew to maintain my active outdoor lifestyle. Needless to say it wasn’t working but I also didn’t know what else to do. Enter Kara and the Love Your Body program.

Within 5 minutes (seriously!) of starting Kara’s challenge a huge lightbulb went off in my head that it didn’t have to be that way. Instead I could draw up a contract of sorts with my body – I could ask it what it wanted from me and in turn I could tell it want I wanted from our relationship. Complete game-changer. I’m not exaggerating that within 2 or 3 days of starting the challenge huge shifts were happening in my relationship with my body, and in turn how I felt both physically and mentally.

I don’t think I can ever thank Kara enough for showing me what was possible. This program and Kara are both pure gold.

It has been invaluable.

I got from the Love Your Body Challenge a newfound clarity of what I like in terms of taking care of my body. For example I reconnected with the fact that I love muscles in my body. That has been huge for me. Yes, I am unique and I have the right to love muscles..

Also, I connected with the fact that I have a Blueprint of perfection and calm in my body and that I absorbed a different Blueprint of anxiety about being fit and lean from my parents and society, which is not my real Blueprint. Now I am using the tools that you provide to refine my real Blueprint, what is, in fact, perfect for me and my Body. It has been invaluable and I want to continue in this process with you.
