Body Neutrality

Body positivity told you to love your body. For many people that is a bridge too far — you cannot flip overnight to adoring a body you spent years at war with.

Body neutrality moves the focus from looks to capability. Your legs carry you across a city. Your arms hold the people you love. Your eyes are reading this. The body is an instrument, not an ornament.

This is not giving up on health. It is cutting the wire between how you look and what you are worth. The mirror loses its charge when you stop asking "Do I look good?" and start asking "Am I healthy? Am I capable?"
