Beach Days & Body Image 🏖

Yesterday I went to the beach with my family and the weather was beautiful and the vibes were just right, but I noticed how uncomfortable I would get about my body. There were a lot of girls younger than me and possibly even close to my age that I found me comparing myself to. I just bought a new camera to take picture, film vlogs, and create content so I had my sister take some photos of me and boy was that another kick in the rear. My sister did a great job and the pictures came out nice but I found myself nitpicking about everything I feel like I don’t have or have too much of. Even when I was looking at pictures that I might consider putting on my Instagram or this blog post I made sure to only pick the “best” ones or ones I wasn’t too embarrassed of, it’s a work in progress. Our brains are wired to believe that the things we see in Ads or on Magazine Covers, or even on Social Media are real and often times they’re really not. I’m only at the beginning of my self love and fitness journey but I know I have to be kinder to myself and be grateful that I’m even alive and semi-healthy. We all struggle with insecurities and living in today’s society doesn’t help but my goal for me and my goal for you is that we start loving our most true selves AND also doing things to help us along that journey by making ourselves feel better in our skin.
