ways to reclaim your body:
shave your head or cut your hair
go for a run, run as hard as you can
get a new piercing or tattoo
cook a meal from scratch and eat it with no distractions
swim in your nearest body of water, or take a cold shower or bath
stretch, do a yoga routine and feel every muscle
wear clothes that you like, doesnt matter what it looks like
avoid mirrors, your body doesnt need to look a certain way to be valuable
hold someone close, a loved one or a pet or hold yourself tight
lay down on your bed or on grass, close your eyes and feel yourself sink into the surface deeply
turn music on loud and dance however feels good
drink a a big glass of water or as much as you can, feel the discomfort and let it dissipate
try to meditate, do a body scan in whatever position feels comfortable (or uncomfortable) and pay attention to as fine a detail as possible
sing or hum or make noise, hear it reflect back at you, feel the way it vibrates your cheeks, your lips, your bones
drink some hot tea or any other hot beverage, feel its warmth spread down your throat and into your chest
sit outside, no matter the weather and experience it, the wind, the sun, or the rain on your cheeks and your eyelids
