If we carry around the idea that thoughts are bad, then we will always feel as if we are engaged in battle with them. The thoughts in themselves, are as they are. It is only thought that describes them as good or bad. In themselves, when they are non resisted, they lose their meaning and their polarities...
When we trust our own thoughts to be the complete truth of things, then thought can become a ruling monster. If we see that thoughts are not the full reality, that they are only attempts to understand the world, not actually anything to do with what is being interpreted, then there is some space, some freedom...
Well, what is a negative body image? A thought. It is not your body, it is a thought ABOUT the body that is believed, perhaps supported by other humans and then regarded as real.
It is likely that if you had not grown up in this particular society, you would not have any kind of negative body image in your mind. It is a kind of programming, a kind of conditioning to judge certain shapes as bad and others as good.

What hurts is the resistance. If you had a thought of something bad, what makes it seem offensive or disturbing is the fact that another energy inside contracts and tries to push back against it. If you are experiencing thoughts you don’t like, what makes it feel bad is the resistance to them, calling the thoughts bad, believing that they should not be there...
A bad mood is often like an irritable or heavy energy that takes over your body and mind. It sees through your eyes and thinks through your thoughts. It is an energy that descends for a while and then leaves. If you take it to be who you are, rather than an energy inside you, then it will feel more intimate and sometimes impossible to shake...
What do you know for sure? How many of your beliefs are based on the opinions of society? How many of your ideas have just come from other people?
