I don’t know about you guys but going to a bathroom and finding that it has great lighting and a good mirror is just top tier! This may be such a random post but it does serve a purpose. I’m going to be completely honest with you, I don’t feel 100% all of the time. There are days when I don’t think I’m pretty, I feel like I should try harder, or I feel like I’m not enough. I know I shouldn’t listen to these thoughts but I am human and there will always be insecurities and doubts, but I want to bring you into a new way of thinking. What if on days you don’t feel 100% you get ready and go or do something you enjoy, grab a cup or tea or coffee, meet up with a friend, do your skin care routine something that will get you out of bed. Go to your local Starbucks or Dunkin, find their bathroom look in the mirror and instead of seeing where you lack look at what makes you you. Look at your smile, your freckles, your dimples. Look at your hands that work hard, your legs that are strong enough to take you where you need to go, your back that at times seems to carry the whole world, look at your arms that hug others when you are the one in need of one, look at your stomach that holds the nourishment you need to keep on living.
Sometimes the things we despise or are insecure about need to be celebrated because we spend too much time talking down on ourselves. Our bodies go through so much, sometimes we keep on working even though we are exhausted, sometimes we starve it, and we don’t give it the rest it truly needs. If there isn’t something you like about yourself you alone have the right to change it but for one second, for one selfie, I want you to look at yourself in that mirror and see the true beauty in who you are as a person. You a strong, you are wise, and you are lovely. A few negative thoughts is not worth you thinking you are not worthy, that you’re not enough because you are more than worth it!
Did you take that selfie today? If not what are you waiting for.
Love,
