Beauty

The beauty that is found in loving yourself is the most timeless beauty there is. Nobody can take that from you.

Body Conversations

Often people shy away from looking at themselves as sensual and attractive beings because their conditioned thought is to shame their bodies. That may come from a lifetime of body and food shame that trained them to believe that they are undeserving of that self love. This happens to all of us, regardless of our size or stage of life. It has lead me down a few dark roads that all lead to the same place of self hatred. Intrusive negative thoughts about yourself can come from other factors in our life that make us believe we should be hateful towards ourselves. When this happens, think about how you would speak to a loved one if they were feeling insecure about their body. Would you allow them to shame themselves to the point of embarrassment? You might do anything in your power to make sure this person didn’t speak negatively about themselves. Why is it that we feel we don’t deserve to defend ourselves in that way??

It takes some time, but you can change those critical thoughts. Once you recognize them, you can “call out” that behavior and change the tone in which you speak about yourself. Start by thanking your body each morning, part by part. Recognize that your feet & your legs have physically carried you through so much. Touch your stomach and feel comfort in knowing you are fed, you are alive, and feel your belly fill with air that your body works to breathe in & out. The human body is a beautiful and intricate map of curves and ridges, and it is wonderful no matter how soft or hard those curves are. Your shoulders sit upright, holding your head high, and the bones that make up your structure are strong enough to actually heal themselves. Take notice of how wonderful you are each day. Everybody deserves to feel this fascination with themselves.
