The Body Positivity Card Deck: 53 Strategies for Body Acceptance, Appreciation and Respect Cards – 11 May 2020

Some seem aimed at teens and I'm in my 30s but I'm pleased with the deck as a whole. It's good to have them around

When I first heard about these cards I knew I had to get them. Cultivating body positivity is often not as easy as we expect (or would like!) it to be, in part because we are surrounded and often bombarded with diet culture and the sometimes contorted view that body positivity can take (which is not actually inclusive or focused on acceptance at all).I love how these cards (which are beautiful to hold by the way) focus on 4 areas: self compassion, self care, mindfulness and body image so you can choose cards that you feel drawn to or will benefit you in any one moment.I have very successfully used these cards to informally explore body image and self acceptance in online group settings and with more focused 1:1 clients. Some cards ask questions which helps me facilitate the conversation in an entirely impartial way and there is always a positive take away which has been lovely.Personally I have also used these cards myself; picking one a week to remind me of the benefits of my own journey. The power of these 53 cards is amazing and I thank Judith and Amy for creating them and sharing their strategies
