Hey guys! Today I wanted to discuss a topic that I know most women struggle with at times...
✨ Self love ✨
The thought of showing my body online used to scare me to death. Actually showing my face induced enough anxiety for me to never consider posting a photo like this. I let myself succumb to the pressure society imposes on us women to look perfect. More importantly, I let myself care what other people think of me. It’s still a work in progress and I’m still not 100% comfortable with seeing myself on camera but I am pushing myself to go out of my comfort zone to reach a point of zero fucks and I want to invite you to do it too! I want to help push the future to be less negative and judgemental, where people's natural reactions are of love and their comments are positive and uplifting otherwise not said at all. Photos of girls in bathing suits wouldn't automatically be sexualised and judged as inappropriate and slutty, it would be understood as someone enjoying the beach or pool in appropriate attire just as someone wearing a dress at a wedding or gym attire on a hike.
I almost didn’t post this photo because I thought that my stomach could have looked a bit toner but in all honesty I’ve been slack with my work outs and that’s completely okay! I hiked through rocks and hills for 30 minutes to get to this beautiful secluded beach and I want to share that with the world. There are days where my stomach is flat and there are days where it's not and that is also completely okay because I am human and I accept that! I am happy and healthy, all my organs are functioning, my arms and legs are working and that’s all I can ask for. I will love it just as much through any stage, no matter how it looks!
There is a lot of negativity and hate in the world lately, but there doesn't have to be, and we can prove it simply through being more conscious of our thoughts, our actions and our words.
