Like what you see in the mirror.
Is it one of those days for you? Or maybe one of those weeks?
Welcome to adulthood!
I like to blame a little thing called hormones. Not only do they cause us to be an emotional train wreck, they surprise us with physical changes! (like we need more to stress about) At our age our bodies are going through so many changes…be calm. This is perfectly normal.
Your hips are widening, your face is covered in blemishes, your body is a bit curvier, your hair is flat, your down right exhausted and you just feel gross. Plus maybe you are bloating and none of your clothes fit…
I don’t know about you but this throws me into an emotional whirlwind. And then I begin to focus on all of my imperfections. Sound about right?
How do you forgive your imperfections?
I think the older you get the more you realize everyone has imperfections and you are just stuck with yours. People always say “Learn to love your imperfections.” But I find that very difficult. I have learned not to hate them. I have learned to be OK with them and accept them as a part of me. But love them? Hmm…maybe one day.
I think we just need to remember we are perfect in God’s eyes. He created us with our lovely imperfections.
Be Confident
We’ve got to be strong and confident, girls. Practice looking in the mirror and liking what you see. Embrace your body changing and know that it is all going to pass. This is normal and you are beautiful. Confidence looks so good on you.
Here’s an idea!
How about giving someone a compliment today. Sometimes it is hard to see past our imperfections that we miss our beauty. Point out how great your friend, sister or mother looks today. Build each other up, that’s what Pink Medicine is all about.
Got it?
Lovely.
Now go do it!
‘Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.’ ~Lao Tzu
