Over the years I learned so much about my body and my relationship with it. And honestly, it was not a fast journey. It took time, patience, small discoveries, and a lot of kindness toward myself. Today I want to share the rules that guide me and help me feel grounded, confident and connected with my body every single day. Maybe something will resonate with you too.

1. My body is always changing — and this is normal.
There were days when I looked in the mirror and couldn’t understand why I felt puffy or tired, even if nothing really changed. But bodies are alive, they respond to stress, sleep, hormones, food, weather… everything. One day you feel strong, another day — softer. And this is a beautiful, natural part of being human and a woman.
The moment I stopped fighting those changes and started accepting them, I felt so much more free.

2. Nutritious food is my fuel.
Food is not an enemy or a reward. It’s just food. Some of it nourishes me and gives me energy, and some of it simply tastes good but doesn’t bring much value to my body. I try to choose nutrient-rich food most of the time because I love feeling strong, light and energized.
At the same time, I don’t label food as “good” or “bad”. I have things I avoid for my health, and things I eat in moderation. That’s it. No drama. No guilt.

3. Numbers on the scale are just numbers.
I truly stopped letting the scale define me. One or two kilos up? It doesn’t say anything about my beauty, my strength or my worth. It’s just… material. Material that I can turn into endurance, into power, into stronger muscles during workouts.
My body is not a number. And neither is yours.

4. Consistency over perfection.
I learned that what really matters is not being perfect — it’s being consistent. Even on busy days I’ll find time for a short workout or at least a long walk. Not because I “must”, but because I genuinely love how movement makes me feel.
Consistency keeps me aligned with myself.

5. Listening to my body is a must.
There were times when I pushed myself too hard, thinking it was the only way to progress. Now I know: my body speaks to me. And I should listen.
If I feel low on energy — I lower intensity.
If I’m exhausted — I rest.
If I need a gentle day — I take it.
This connection with myself is one of the most important skills I’ve ever developed.

6. Love yourself at every stage.
Our bodies change with age, with lifestyle, with motherhood, with stress, with joy — with life itself. And I’m learning to embrace those changes, not fight them.
I show love to my body in the way I move, the way I eat, the way I talk to myself. I celebrate small progress. I enjoy the journey.

None of these rules are strict. They are just the way I learned to be kinder to myself, to stay present and aware, to feel strong and feminine at the same time.

And I hope every woman finds her own rules — the ones that help her feel confident, grounded and beautiful from the inside out.
