IF I ASK YOU TO NAME ALL THE THINGS YOU LOVE,
HOW LONG UNTIL YOU NAME YOURSELF?
If I asked you to name all the things you love, how long until you name yourself? First? Tenth? Twenty?
For me, a long time, I never placed myself on that list. I was ashamed of my body to accept myself with all the body-shaming ridicule I got from the world.
We talk about self-love and which is more related to loving and accepting your body, but loving yourself for who you are within is so much more than that. It's about owning the struggles that have made us. The weak points, The dark scars, the powerful highs, and embracing the flawed, perfect part of who you are.
I read someday " DON'T DETERMINE SELF LOVE BASED ON NUMBER ON SCALE, CHOSE TO LOVE YOURSELF NOW AND USE FITNESS AS WAY OF EXPRESSING THAT LOVE", and everything just changed and was viewed with the right spectacles.
I just don't care for what people say, I do it for myself. Every fallback is taken as a learning lesson and every success is screamed out to the world to fill my soul within.
This month of February let's start by loving and accepting ourselves with our scars, flaws, strength, and the beauty we hold within. Let's start by loving ourselves internally so that we work on our external beauty as an appreciation of who we are and not because the world demands it. Let's wear the right spectacles and make the change needed for a better life.
