The Journey to Loving My Body
23 April 2021

I hate that feeling! ⁠
⁠
Some days are dark with those negative stories running around in my brain. ⁠
⁠
The feelings of low self esteem, ineffectiveness, body image, and so much more! ⁠
⁠
They seem so real, so authentic, so true, and everyone sees it! ⁠
⁠
Then I challenged myself! How can I revise my story I am telling myself? CHANGE MY MINDSET! ⁠
⁠
Imagine that each one of those negative thoughts are fueling your desire to change. What would your story look like? ⁠
⁠
For me, body image is one of those repeating stories. Now each day I am thankful for my beautiful body. ⁠
⁠
I love the fact that I have the privilege to exercise, to eat right, and to have my own style. ⁠
⁠
My body blesses every day and there is no other one like it. ⁠
⁠
Not everyday is perfect, I am a work in progress! My work in progress is better than a day filled with negative self loathing thoughts. I LOVE ME! ⁠
