You. Are. Enough.

I really want to address the problem of body shaming. I do not mean people who do it to other people. I mean doing it to yourself. I am my worst critic. I can stand in the mirror and know that I am working hard to reach my goals and still tell myself that it isn't good enough. Well it is. You are an amazing, beautiful, talented person. You are capable of things you haven't even realized yet. But yet as a women we stand and look at ourselves in the mirror and no matter how hard we work we can make ourselves feel worthless.

First off, you are worth more than whatever your body looks like. You are stronger than you think you are. You are worth all the love and praise in the world. We all fail. We all make mistakes. We all have different bodies, different talents, and different lives. Because you are not doing what someone else is doing does not mean you are not doing enough. Because your body doesn't look like someone else's does not mean you are unhealthy or that you aren't doing enough. I work really hard on my body. I will never have my dream body. Why? Because that require me to have a nose job, grow 4 inches, have ribs removed, and more extensive unrealistic surgery. I am me. Yes I get down on myself from time to time. We all do. But I want every woman to know that when you get down, get back up. You can do anything you set your mind to and more. You are worth so much more than you give yourself credit for. Do not be afraid of failure. If you never fail, you never even tried. Do not give up on your goals or yourself. Keep going. Keep pushing. And the next time you look in the mirror please tell yourself that you are awesome. Your body does NOT define you. You define you. Love yourself.
