Another IMPORTANT gem from my challenge groups today... I couldnt let the day pass without sharing this with you all because it is something we ALL struggle with... and something we ALL need to change. Wednesday, October 15th!! Good morning my absolutely BEAUTIFUL friends!!! Have you told yourself how incredibly beautiful you are yet today? No, really. Have you stood in front of the mirror today... and NOT looked at your booty, NOT pinched the skin on your waist for measure, NOT gotten up close to the mirror to examine the new blemishes that seemed to form overnight... have you just looked yourself directly in the eyes, and said I am beautiful? My guess is NO... but, for the love of all things holy... tell me... WHY THE HECK NOT?!!! We should be doing this for ourselves every single day. We should be complimenting ourselves EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Why? Because YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU ARE STRONG. YOUR BODY IS CAPABLE OF AMAZING THINGS (things that it does on its own, behind the scenes, to keep you awake and alive and breathing every moment of every day). YOU ARE IMPORTANT. YOU HAVE AMAZING GIFTS TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD!!! YOU are the only YOU that exists... exactly the way you are... how cool is that?! You have a unique set of thoughts... No one else in the world looks like you... Your individual combination of gifts are ones that no single other person can offer the world... You are capable of anything you want in life, as well as a number of things that you cant even dream yet. THIS IS AMAZING!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Let me ask you this... whether you have kids yet or not... how would you want your DAUGHTER (or son) to speak to herself when she looked in the mirror every day? What would you want her to see in herself? What qualities would you want her to place upmost importance on? What would you ask her to focus on? If the way you are perceiving and speaking to yourself does not parallel the way you would want your child seeing or speaking... then what the heck are you doing?! We have to start with US... we have to lead by EXAMPLE... we have to SHOW our children and our family and our friends how to LOVE OURSELVES!!! It is time to STOP beating ourselves up. STOP with the dysmorphia. STOP playing into the expectations and stereotypes. STOP comparing ourselves to others, and them to us. Its time to START recognizing all of the amazing and unique things about ourselves. START lifting each other up. START putting our HEALTH before our pant size. Im not saying its easy... but there are few things that are more important. If you all could only see yourselves through MY eyes... Todays challenge: List AT LEAST (but not limited to) ONE thing you love about yourself in the comments below. youtu.be/24Xa1Nw8eJY
