#BodyPositive #StopBodyShaming . CHEERS to YOU for being YOU, for being UNIQUE, for being AUTHENTIC, for being in afraid to be YOURSELF & #BeYOUTiful. 💖 . What do you see when you look in the mirror? When you look at pictures of yourself? Me? I see the "pooching our" of being in my 40's. I focus on the lines of my face. I see the jowls beginning to hang from my neck. I focus I the age spots I see in my skin. . If I look at a candid pic of my full body I begin to pick it apart piece by piece. . Have you done that? You know how that makes you feel? Chances are you know how I feel. . I start to think these awful thoughts; "I'm not pretty enough, I'm not young enough, I'm not in good enough shape anymore." ... And the list goes on. Don't tell me that I shouldn't say that (because I would tell you the same thing!) or try to say I'm not any of those things. . What would you tell a friend? You'd say "hey I completely understand. That spare tire I got going on is getting to me." Why? Because it's empathy. . Empathy is important because I began that awful #TalkOfShame that we give ourselves in the mirror. #empathy is the antidote for #shame. Did you know that? . It's time to TELL others what we are saying in the mirror. I guarantee you're not alone; that I'm not alone. . After you feel the relief of a friend's understanding then look in the mirror and choose to be grateful for one thing. When I think about it I'm #grateful to be mamma to an amazing ten year old girl., that it's sunny or even my AC is fixed. . #YouAreENOUGH. Work with me to help change our perspectives, have empathy & compassion with others and ourselves and to kick shame's ass right out of here! What do you say?
