🛑 Stop scrolling and PAUSE for one second. ✋ Social media can be a portal into connection or the comparison game. It’s up to us to choose how we use it. ▫️ It’s easy to get caught up in the comparison trap and start the downward spiral of not feeling good enough (which sucks ☹️) if we don’t have our radar up and supports in place. ▫️ Here are some suggestions to get you back on track: ▫️ ✅ #1 Take a big breath (with a longer exhale) and notice what accounts you are following. ✅ #2 Ask yourself if the accounts you follow align with your values. ✅ #3 Replace accounts yhat don’t make you feel good with accounts of nature, animals, or something neutral for you but brings a smile to your face. ✅ #4 We are wired to connect and it’s so healing to experience “enoughness” with others. We challenge you to let an important person in your life (online or offline) know that you care about them, just for who they are. ✅ #5 If you want more tips we have additional free resources on our website you can access! . . . #bodyimage #positivebodyimage #edrecovery #socialmedia #connection #embodiment #healingtogether #resiliency #qotd #qoutestoliveby

Can you help us? 🙏 We are looking for youth (boys and girls, age 11-13) and men (age 16+) for 2 different film projects on Thursday, February 7th from 3:30-5:30- in Vancouver. ▫️ For youth: ✅A free session from the Free To Be workshops will be held in Vancouver where a facilitator will be going through a session from the program. ▫️ For men: ✅We want to have a real conversation about body image (no canned answers pleased) from a male perspective. While the conversation is growing, body image is primarily still thought of as woman's issue. Boys and men have pressures to fit appearance ideals as well, just sometimes it looks different and it's important to talk about it. 💯 For anyone interested - we are looking for individuals who are honest, thoughtful, and engaging! 🙌 Can you tag anyone who you think might be a good fit below? 🙏🙏🙏 For further info please send DM or email renae@freetobetalks.com. Limited spots are available. 👊🏿👊🏽👊🏻👊 #bodyimage #malebodyimage#positivebodyimage #yvr#filminginvancouver #vancouver#healthybodyimage #yvrevents #yvrfilming#documentary #vancouvermom #vancouverparents #medialiteracy
It starts young these messages. Now there is nothing wrong with wanting to be beautiful. In fact, I think it’s a natural human desire to want to be beautiful. 💯 The problem becomes when we value and invest in beauty above cultivating ALL of who we are. ▫️ If you are wanting to learn more about how these messages start, stay tuned for our giveaway **tomorrow** with @elenarossini – filmmaker for The Illusionists documentary – a powerful and award winning film that looks at the globalization of beauty ideals for men and women. 👊🏻👊🏽👊🏿 Stay tuned!
Body image is complex. You know it and we know it. ▫️ Having a healthy or positive body image is also more profound than liking the skin you are in. ✅ It’s an embodied perspective of appreciating and respecting your body for how it allows you to LIVE, MOVE and EXPERIENCE life. ▫️ We think the world will be better when more people are less worried about their bodies, and more focused on things that they are passionate about. 👍 So we have a made resource page with FREE downloads of workbooks, lock screen reminders, and thought-provoking talks and interviews. Grab them with the link in bio. 👊 Tell us, what else would you like to have on the resource page?
