I’m tired of people romanticizing overexertion. Exhausted is not the new chic, coffee (though a delicious necessity) is not a food group, and running on fumes is not admirable. Why do we hold pedestals for sleepless nights, breakdowns, and inner turmoil? Are those really things to aspire to? Self-care. Balance. The ability to know when your body, mind, and spirit need to take a step back. Those are things we should admire. We have to stop blurring the line between ‘commitment’ and self-endangerment because too many people are burning out before they have a chance to truly shine.

More people need to understand that going to therapy is a GOOD thing. It’s a healthy choice.

Some days, I can conquer the world; Other days, it takes me three hours to convince myself to bathe.

Dear Diet Pill Commercials,

Shut the fuck up.

Hey everyone!

I’ve decided to organize a body positive challenge for this February, with a small daily challenge for each day of the month. I would really love to see a lot of people participate, because I think that body positivity is such a great way to spread confidence and love! If you’re interested, read on…

Each day of the month, there is a small task to complete, listed in the image above. Some days require writing something, and others require doing something in real life, which you can then reflect about online if you so choose. 

If you don’t feel comfortable doing one of the challenges, please don’t hesitate to skip it. There’s no obligation to do each task, but try to do as many as you can! I’ll be posting my response every morning, so if you are looking for inspiration you can check my blog!

Post your responses with the tag #bodposfeb, so that everyone can share their opinions and spread the body positivity! 

Please help me out by reblogging this post so that this challenge can reach a broader audience! I’d really appreciate your help in spreading the word about this challenge, so that more people can experience body positivity and self-love!

this show is an absolute treasure 

Morning guys. I hope you remember today that if you slip up you can restart your day at any time. You don’t have to wait til the next day to start over. Just sit down, breathe for a few minutes, and start again. 

Good things to list

Exercise because it feels good. Exercise because it makes you happy.

Don’t exercise because you’re terrified that you ate too much for dinner. Don’t exercise because you hate the way your body looks in the mirror.

Loving yourself will get you so much further than hating yourself.
