So today I got inspired to change things up a little. Lately I have found myself to be critiquing every single aspect of my body [including my hair, makeup, clothes… you get the point]. My question is why are we the biggest critics of ourselves? Why do we not just love the bodies that God has blessed us with? As a woman, I know for a fact we are all constantly on a roller coaster of emotions when its pertaining to ourself. Which is why I thought I would address this issue I know we all face.

I cannot figure out why I have been feeling so down and discouraged lately, but I do know this… it has to got to stop. I am not one who lacks self confidence, because my mom always taught me to hold my head high & how to stand on my own two feet. But lets face it, we all have those days where we just do not “feel pretty”. I am going to be very vulnerable & just say that I have not felt like I have looked my best the past month or so. I feel as if I have gained weight in places I did not even know were possible… & ya’ know this is just one of the many struggles we as women face. Though, these struggles should not make us feel discoraged.

Here is what I want you to remember when you find yourself critiquing your image [two simple words]: LOVE YOURSELF. You are each beautiful & unique in your own way, which is what God intended… [he def knew what he was doing, if I do say so myself]. When you catch yourself looking in the mirror or at a picture thinking “wow my hair is not teased, my makeup makes me look like an orange, dang my arms look fat, etc” I want you to STOP what you are doing & remind yourself how beautiful you are.

I am not an expert on this by any means, considering I struggle with this on the daily. However, I do know that we need to all take a stand together & let nothing get us down. I encourage you to encourage others, because lets be real… who doesn’t love a good compliment? As women, we are not only hard on ourselves but hard on other women as well. And this is one thing I will NEVER understand! If we know how it feels to have those days where you do “not feel pretty” or feel like you are being judged, then why in the world do we do this to other ladies/friends we come across?

Well, this rant is over. I just wanted to remind each of you are beautiful YOU are.

xoxo,

Geor
