Redefine

Hey everyone!  It may be hard to wrap our heads around it, but everyone has loads of insecurities. Yes, even Miranda Kerr and her fellow VS models. Anything from too tall to too stocky, we are all in the same boat -- we are insecure about our appearances. I certainly don't want to place all the blame on the media, but it does play a huge role in what we think about ourselves. We're expected to look a certain way (flip open to any page in Cosmo), and it's a really unfair expectation! I could easily write out a novel-size list of all of the things I'm insecure about. Instead, I'd rather be productive, stop envying others, and instead focus on what I like about myself. It's simple--look at your list of "hates" about yourself and redefine them. Turn them into assets!! Today I centered my outfit around this positive approach to body image. I decided to change my clothes to fit my body instead of changing my body to fit my clothes. To hide my stomach bulge, I placed the belt a little lower than a usual empire waist fit. To make my legs look more defined, I put on a nice pair of wedges. There is never a need to feel bad about your body... You're more beautiful than you could ever think. Don't forget to redefine your insecurities and make them into assets. These are the things that make you the person you are. And that is a wonderful thing. 

... Recent studies have found that if you were to see your exact self walking around town you wouldn't even recognize it as yourself! The way we view ourselves is so much different (and usually lesser) than how everyone else views us. Long story short, don't be too hard on yourself/your appearance. You're all amazing!

Stay happy <3
