Kindness for ourselves and others 💗   Overall, I find most of us women suffer with body image and, sometimes, eating disorders ( I realize some men do too). I did for the majority of my life especially in my teens and twenties. I used to be an aerobics instructor and would exercise 2-3 hours per day. I  also would limit the amount of food I would eat too. Somewhere in my thirties I had an ahha moment and decided to be healthy and balanced in my mind-body-spirit. I couldn’t continue the unhealthy over exercising and limiting my food intake. I was tired of being tired and avoiding events where I might be tempted by food. I don’t know what caused my ahha moment but was thankful it happened 

I now am age 55 (56 next month) and I am now dealing with aging issues over body image. It’s hard to see how our skin changes as we age. I am trying to embrace the aging process gently and remind myself I am blessed to be this age.  I stopped dying my hair 2 years ago and keep trying to embrace the “natural silver highlights “ but every now and then I feel like dying my hair again. Maybe I will maybe I won’t. Us women go through so many changes in each phase of our lives. We need to try to embrace ourselves and be kind to ourselves along to other women. We really need to stop the self sabotage and the unfair judgment of others. I think when we are so hard on ourselves we can be harsh with our judgment for others. I try to remind myself in moments I might feel insecure or judgey of someone else that we are all human and we are all dealing with life. I’ve learned to breathe into those moments with Divine grace and use the moment for healing. I’m not saying it’s always easy but it does change how I’m feeling and helps me get into a better mindset. 

We are only tenants of this world for a short  period. We need more self love and appreciation. We need healing and blessings. We need kindness for each other. 

Enjoy this time in your life.  

Much love 💕
