The speaker reframes body shame by calling stretch marks warrior scars and wrinkles wisdom, then argues that the word "should" signals misaligned beliefs imposed from outside. Releasing "shoulds" lets you act from your heart instead of external pressure.

I need to close out the body shame and the, and the how it is such a 3D farce. Because once you can see your body like that, like now I'm just like, I am a divine creation. If I have stretch marks, it's a, it's like, it's like warrior scars for the journey that I've been on. If I've got wrinkles, it's wisdom from the life and the knowledge that I have absorbed by embodying all those experiences. If I have crazy hair, well, that's going to be standard probably forever. That's just there. But I don't know, I think my crazy hair is kind of like little antennas picking up on energy. Um, a bit like what they said, that's when they cut off the Native American Indians' hair for when they would send them to war, and they lost a lot of their ability to read things and stuff. So they do say that hair is like an energy Antenna. So, well, I've got plenty of that. Um, and I am just coming on here crazy now because otherwise I'll be putting it off. And I'm just pressing play because I'm working through this with you at the same time. Like, I am not in front of you, I am with you in this. Like, I'm just sharing these aha moments as I have them as we talk through this. So our body's biggest biggest ego lie that there is— how we look and the comparison of that to others and all these so-called perfect images that we've been shown. If you do things from your heart and not because you should— and we covered shoulds the other day, but shoulds are just expectations with, uh, that are basically unaligned belief systems. The expectations, mostly shoulds, don't even come from you. That is pointing to our unaligned belief systems. Like they are a red light, actually, like a red flag, a highlighter, unaligned belief system. If the word should or shouldn't is anywhere near it, unaligned belief system. It's like, but if we start doing things from our heart.
