You are Beautiful. Yes you!
Working with women on a regular basis I hear how much self hate there is out there. Maybe its those extra 5 pounds or more, Maybe it is the fine wrinkle lines, crows feet or grey hair. Maybe you are short, or too tall, maybe your hair is too curly, too thin, too straight, too something. We as women in general, set beauty on a pedestal that is always just out of reach, and it is heart breaking. Yes I do this too. We all have our bad days. Loving on yourself is probably one of the hardest things to do as a women. The compliments you do recieve make you feel weird and you say thank you but....insert small self hate comment here such as "but its really just the make up." I am reaching out to every woman who reads this to love herself today. Look in the mirror and tell yourself how damn beautiful you are. Your friends and family love you the way you are-you are perfectly imperfect. And that, is beautiful.
On my mission to help women feel beautiful, I find certain songs that make me smile. Here are a couple to listen to, and enjoy, and love on yourself a bit harder. (I know it can be difficult, but you can love yourself.)
This one will hit you in the heart. I love the visual story she tells with this song. There is soooo much meaning. "I am beautiful, no matter what they say."
This song by Selena Gomez has always been a fun empowering song that I have enjoyed way more than a 30 year old woman should probably admit. But its just wonderful, and encourage you as a person, to listen and share with your young ones.
My most recent favorite inspiring songs is from Colbie Caillat "Try" the lyrics are right on. her video is visually effecting and yes, I teared up the first time I saw it, because the message is so strong here.
The next song, I hadn't really listened to to the lyrics before watching the video. Just sang to it absent mindedly. Watch the video, LISTEN to the words and tell me how this makes you feel.
You can't not include Whitney on this list, and one of the original power up songs of course.
Did you enjoy these? I am creating a list over on youtube for you to be inspired and empowered by, so follow along and whenever you think of a song that empowers you, add it inteh comments below so I can add it to the list, I'll do the same on spotify so follow along and be inspired/empowered and happy.
