I hope you had a great week and I have something super real to talk about today. I don't have a fancy way to put this so I'm just going to say it.
I struggle a lot lately with my body.
A lot of things have changed for me these past couple years, including my physical ability, which is perfectly normal as our bodies age and time passes. What is ALSO normal is struggling with where your body is and how you feel in it, and that's what I want to talk about today.
You see, not only am I struggling with self acceptance right now, my brain keeps telling me I'm not allowed to struggle with my body. I talk a lot about self acceptance and love on the internet, and with the amazing projects I have on the way, it seems so silly when I say it out loud. It's almost embarrassing that I would feel this way however body positivity doesn't mean you're positive about your body 24/7.
I'm done shaming myself for my feelings. Our bodies change, and I need to allow myself the space and time to adjust and learn to love the body that I have right now.
Loving yourself is an active choice. A decision that you make every day. Similar to loving your partner(s). Taking pictures of myself even when I don't feel like the most amazing version of myself is an action of radical self love.
This isn't a plea for compliments, although those are always nice and I appreciate them so much. It's an invitation to do this together if you are also in this place with me.
If you're open to it, I'd love to see your self acceptance selfies, and I'll continue to share more of mine.
I hope this helps!
