Mirror, mirror...
Did you know that:
-Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14?
-If Barbie were a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions?
-A recent psychological study found that three minutes spent looking at models in a fashion magazine caused 70% of women readers to feel depressed, guilty, and shameful?
-On any given day, more then half of all American women are on a diet?
As shocking as these factoids are, what's even more staggering is what they say about our female state of mind - how our negative perceptions about the female body are so warped, we've backed ourselves into a harsh corner of expectation and judgment. And the target we set our sights on most ... Ourselves.
Real happiness and contentment are not nearly as dependent on a perfect body as we're led to believe.
Right this second, give yourself both permission and power to stand in awe of yourself.
Honor your strengths, individual needs, and personal paths of discovery and growth.
This is true beauty, no matter what your size.
