This mindset. 👏🏼 We are implicitly taught that any sort of imperfection... wrinkles, acne, moles, gray hairs, freckles, cellulite - all of it must be “fixed”. But why? 🧐 Impossible standards of perfection only make us feel inadequate, pushing ourselves to the next big change for a sense of acceptance. When we do not see representations of us, we start to believe that we must change our outward appearance to fit the mold society has set. 🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️ But it doesn’t have to be that way. Comment below if you agree with @mikabrzezinski. You can set the threshold. Remember - you are SO much more than just “pretty”. Appearance is nothing compared to all you have to offer this world. ✨ . . . . #freetobetalks #freetobe #worthyisshe #inspireothers #bemorehuman #bodypositivity #edrecovery #bodyimage #beyou #beyourself #knowyourvalue #valueyourself #womenempowerment #youareenough
As you head into a new week we leave you with this thought provoking excerpt from @hillaryliannamcbride👌🏼👏🏼 Remind yourself that if an appearance goal is the only benchmark you set for yourself to achieve happiness or freedom, you will ALWAYS end up falling short. There will always be another unattainable beauty standard or fad to follow and if you continue to chase the 🥕 that keeps dangling in front of you - you’ll miss out on the beauty of the present moment. Remember, there is ❌ nothing ❌ you need to change or fix about your outward appearance before you can feel worthy. You are unique, incredibly valuable, and worth knowing JUST as you are. ✨ . . . . #freetobeme #freetobetalks #beyourself #beyou #radicalselflove #livefree #inspireothers #worthit #worthyisshe #bemorehuman #edrecovery #youareenough #enough #selflove #motherhood #motherlove #bodyimage #bodypositive #unplugging #bodypositivity #inspireothers #sundayinspiration
Self-care, a buzzword, indeed. The truth is, it's always important to care for your mind, body and soul, and sometimes it is as simple as taking a walk to get some fresh air or completely unplugging from your 📱 for the day.👌🏼 Self-care does't mean expensive bath bombs or face masks. Taking small steps each day to mindfully check in for where you are holding stress 😳 in your body, being curious about your thoughts 💭 , and becoming more aware of your wants and needs is self-care. "Self-care" shouldn't become something you pencil in but rather a way of living and a part of your everyday routine. Try to remind yourself to incoporate self-care acts into your daily life so that your well-being becomes and remains, a priority. We want to know how you practice self care...comment below! 👇🏼 . . . . #freetobeme #freetobetalks #inspireothers #bemorehuman #beyourself #worthyisshe #selfcarequotes #selfcare #selfhelp #mindfulness #mindfullness #mindfulnessquotes #youareworthy #youarebeautiful #youareenough #inspirationalquotes #healthybodyimage #healthymindset #unplug #unplugging #unplugged
Hey, we get it. It’s easy to focus on appearance. We’ve been conditioned to do so, and it’s a hard habit to break. But how did we let this shift happen, and when did we stop focusing on the things that really matter? Give us a 🙌🏼 below if you’re ready to take a stand against society, because our worth has nothing to do with what’s on the outside. 💯 . . . #inspirationalquotes #freetobeme #freetobetalks #selfhelp #inspirechange #inspiringquotes #positivevibes #healthybodyimage #healthymindandbody #youareworthy #worthit #youareenough #worthyisshe #bemorehuman #inspireothers #bodyimage #bodypositive #bodypositivity #bodypeace
#Regram @bemoremvmt 🙌🏼✨ We envision a society where every girl and woman knows that she is so much more than just her body, and her worth is not determined by something so trivial and temporary as her weight and size. . . We ❤️ this message. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it 💯 times more...there is SO much more to who you are than your outward appearance. Don’t forget it. ☝🏼 . . . . #selfesteem #bodyimage #bodypositive #freetobeme #freetobe #freetobetalks #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #medialiteracy #healthybodyimage #positivethinking #beyourself #bemorehuman #bodypositivity #youareenough #inspireothers
Another awe-inspiring expert from Beauty Sick by Renee Engeln. 🙌🏼 We are implicitly taught that imperfections, blemishes, wrinkles cellulite, etc. must be covered and/or fixed. And you know what? We’re all here to call 💩 on that idea. What defines us is SO much more than what can be gathered by an outward glance. There’s no standard or mold for you to fit. ❌ You’ll never just be “pretty” and you are, and always will be enough. ✨
