'Working to love and celebrate yourself is a commitment, but it's one I'll make over and over again.'
For years, I've been conditioned by family members and even strangers to think poorly of my body, and that's not a simple thing to overcome. But recently, I was at an open-mic poetry night, when I heard someone reciteinto the microphone. As soon as I heard it, I knew affirmations would play an important role in my own journey.
, and I was a happier person for it. I'm not really sure why I stopped, but I do know that I treated myself with a lot more kindness when I did it. If I'm capable of looking back on my day, and listing a few specific things I'm grateful for even in the worst of circumstances, then I'm certain I can show myself a little grace, too.
I don't want to scorn my body anymore. I don't want to look in the mirror and be ashamed of what I see, or keep trash bags full of old clothes in the hopes that I may fit into them again one day. My body is incredible, just the way it is, and it deserves to be loved and cared for. And while diet and exercise are part of that, it's also about your mindset. Working to love and celebrate yourself is a commitment, but it's one I'll make over and over again.
