Acceptance is the beginning of emotional renewal.
Beauty. I feel the need to speak about beauty again. In most cases I have this evil voice that screams ¨UGLY!!!¨ every time I look in the mirror. And it´s not something I think about, it comes from all the stereotypical views of what beauty is that keep reminding about how I am not a slim model form a magazine. It´s those small things that count and add up to make a person beautiful. Especially thick women. Beauty also speaks to identity. Who you are and what you believe in will show on the outside. That makes you beautiful.
We speak about embracing and accepting our bodies but what specific things do I need to do in order to embrace my body? Breaking away from what society shaped my mind to believe about beauty takes courage and a great shift in one´s mindset. Here are some few tips from The Positivity Blog on how to build self esteem:
1.Take 2 minutes self appreciation.
2.Write down 3 things in the evening that you can appreciate about yourself.
3.Be kinder to other people.
4.Spend more time with supportive people.
Overall beauty is not defined by one´s shape, size or body type but it is about what is on the inside. When social media fails to embrace the beauty of thick women, it is the duty of thick women to see the beauty in those belly rolls, cellulite and stretch marks.
There is so much beauty inside one´s heart. Recognize that and you will realize that there´s definitely beauty in wearing a size bigger than size 26.
