Body positivity with a side of self love. <3

Whyyyy are we so hard on ourselves? I literally cringed when I saw this picture for the first time. I thought, “oh my god, my chin. This picture will never see the light of day.” And yet, here I am posting it. Because when I started this business, I needed to relearn self love. How to love my incredible body that brought two beautiful baby girls into this world. A body that nurtured them for years after. I wanted to empower other women to learn to love their beautiful bodies too. To celebrate who and what we are as women in every single season of our lives. No matter what that looks like. Self love is hard. But it’s one of the most important things we need to learn. 

What if we celebrated the things we love about ourselves instead of focused all of our energy on the things we hate about ourselves? So instead of focusing on my imperfections here, I’m choosing to see the pure joy that is radiating from my face. Instead of zooming in on my laugh lines, I’m thanking God for the laughs that brought me out of an incredibly dark place. Instead of wishing my body was thinner, I’m focusing on how strong I am physically and mentally and how truly miraculous the human body is.

Let’s give ourselves a bit of grace here. We are doing the very best that we can. Loving ourselves takes a series of intentional actions and habits, every single day. And it’s something we will fall short in from time to time. But like everything, it takes patience and lots of grace. Fall down but get back up. Forgive yourself. Be kind to yourself. Keep promises to yourself. And love yourself, always. .
