![]() Loving your body doesn’t come with a new low weigh in, a tighter waist, or bein more bootylicious (dang it) This world rewards us for our aesthetics so it’s only natural to think that when we look “up to par” then we will love ourselves But if looking a certain way was the antidote for self-loathe then there wouldn’t be so many incredibly fit people struggling to accept themselves I think most of us can agree that we can’t and won’t love ourselves more just from the physical result There’s so much more to it than that. I personally thought it would work then nothing was ever good enough So I kept chasing leaner, smaller, more defined Then I got hit with the harsh reality that something must’ve been missing since I still want happy Loving your body comes when you choose to value your body’s abilities over its aesthetics It comes when you consciously choose to make empowering choices for yourself daily It comes when you don’t like what you see but can still love your efforts It comes when the scale really is just a metric, a measuring tape is just a tool, and the way your clothing fits is just a feeling The more you take care of your body the more love you will foster for it But you can’t be motivated to take care of your body for the long haul if it’s coming from a place of loathe Once you get “there” you won’t love her anymore than you did when you started How can I be sure? Because if numbers, metrics, measurements and standards didn’t exist; the feeling of love still would So when you nourish, move, and speak kindly to your body while being relentless in the pursuit of your goals That is when you know you’ve found true self-love Allow the rest to fall into place and know that it takes a daily commitment Like any relationship. You never feel fully loved by someone who seems kind of in it You have to be ALL IN for yourself Pay attention to the days you are really feelin yourself and notice what’s different My guess is you’ll see that it comes down to your actions more than anything else So LOVE yourself to loveee yourself Made some videos on the topics of mindset and self-love, you can see them all on my YouTube HERE Hope you enjoy :)
