Γνωρίζουμε ότι πρέπει να αγαπάμε και να αποδεχόμαστε το σώμα μας όπως είναι, να φροντίζουμε τη σωματική και ψυχική μας υγεία, όμως μερικές φορές όλα αυτά τα λέμε αλλά δεν τα πιστεύουμε.

You were born to be REAL, not to be PERFECT. It took me years to figure this out. Perfect, part of me believed, was always the goal. So I said yes when I wanted to say no. Set our tasks that checked boxes but drained my energy. Smiled when I felt anything but. Dieted. Slimmed down. Went for ‘perfect’. But the thing is, I am NOT perfect. WE are not perfect. And wearing that kind of MASK? Constantly acting in a role you never asked for? It’s exhausting. Draining. And also distancing, because TRUE HUMAN CONNECTION happens when we feel seen and heard and acknowledged and understood. So today, even in the tiniest of ways, step back from PERFECT. Whether that’s being honest with your feelings. Or being gentle with your body. Or laying down one task that does not serve you. You were not BORN TO BE PERFECT. You are complicated, nuanced, raw and vibrant and emotional and intense, a bundle of brains and hormones and body parts rolled into one human creature. You are REAL - and that is far more magnificent indeed. ❤️ Art by the talented @ria.e.johnson. #feminist #aufeminin #normalizenormalbodies #iweigh #mentalhealth #selflovequotes #stretchmarks #strengthmarks

You do NOT have to exit this pandemic with new ABS or a NEW BODY or the ability to speak a new language or 20 new degrees. Your MENTAL HEALTH is so much more important than ANY OF THOSE THINGS. Even if social media sometimes suggests otherwise. This has been on my mind a lot lately. My inbox is full of your messages about Covid, and how you’re struggling with disordered eating or body image issues, or the feelings that your plans for your life have become twisted, stunted, broken. Only you are NOT broken. You’re learning to EXIST within an entirely new framework, one that has been rocked and changed by a virus, one that is STILL rocking, still changing. So it is OK to be anxious. To have great days mingled with OHMYGOSH days. To feel like you’re getting the hang of it at one moment, then have all the emotions the next. It’s ok. Be gentle to yourself. Know your emotions are valid. And that your responsibility right now is to your MENTAL HEALTH, not to some standard of perfect that society seems to shout about. If you need to REST and RECHARGE, great. Good. Do it. If you want to run, sweat, workout, train, do it too. Find what SPEAKS TO YOU in this moment, what soothes the softer parts of your mind, and listen to it. Resist the urge to adopt goals that do not SERVE YOU. Instead treat yourself like a friend: with kindness, with love, with understanding. Because babygirl, this chaos is going to be hard for a while. But it doesn’t mean you have to be hard on yourself. Just a reminder today. . . . #feminist #womenirl #selflove #bodypositive #iweigh #meufparis #aufeminin #mentalhealthmatters

Hands up if you’ve ever skipped a party because you felt unattractive. Or a meal with your friends because it didn’t fit into your diet plan. Or the quiet intimacy of lying on your side, your partner wrapped around you, because you didn’t want them to feel the soothing softness of your stomach. Hands up if you’ve ignored your DREAM LIFE in pursuit of that DREAM PHYSIQUE. I know I have. And it sort of sucked. Because here’s the thing: changing my body, shrinking this or growing that, it never shifted how I felt about myself. It never WILL, unless we sort out WHAT’S HAPPENING in our HEADS first. And while we’re busy chasing PANTS SIZES or NUMBERS on the SCALE, we lose out on moments. Minutes. Memories with the people we love. So today, I challenge you to fight against the body obsession that we are taught. Not against health goals — health goals are great, and good, and wonderful. But the lessons that whisper about our ‘imperfections’ or that we are ‘never enough’, or that no one will LOVE us until we are PERFECT. Fight against these. Because you deserve those millions of snapshot moments that come from LIVING, from EXPERIENCING. Your life is happening now. Already. Now. Don’t let diet culture make a second of it pass you by. You got this girl. x Clothes @missguided . . #selflove #edawareness #antidietculture #bodyconfident #stretchmarks #womenirl #meufparis

The way YOU LOVE YOURSELF is how you teach others to love you. This goes for your BODY. Your MIND. Your spirit. It took me two emotionally abusive relationships and then one healthy one to realise that. One partner often commented on my body. My jiggly thighs. My sausage legs. My numpty brain that couldn’t handle intelligent thoughts. The other shamed me for my family, my background, my personality. I let both of them. I didn’t LOVE MYSELF enough to believe that they were wrong. To KNOW that they were wrong. Now I realise SELF LOVE is so CRITICAL in any relationship - romantic, friendship, whatever. It allows us to create BOUNDARIES and say this is ok, that is not. It helps us show up as our AUTHENTIC SELVES, not just shells ready to be filled or shapes to be moulded. It reassures us that the people who truly CARE would never make us FEEL LESS THAN. And that we deserve someone as incredible, as wonderful, as human as we are. We do. We do. So today, now, this goes out to all you gals taking steps on that tough self love journey. It’s hard, but it’s worth it. You’re worth it. x Outfit @missguided #feminist #selflove #inspirationalquotes #quoteoftheday
