To the ones who talk smack about their bodies. This article is for you. And it's for the ones who buy celebrity/beauty magazines. It's also for the women who subscribe to social media sites that tell you in one article you're perfect exactly as you are, but their next post has an article telling you how to "dress to hide your flaws" and has ads for how to loose 39 pounds in 10 minutes. (TIP...stop that nonsense and your happiness quotient increases...trust me, I'm a recovering People Magazine subscriber and it's a better life without it.) So without further ado... I'm starting a new revolution. It's called "Your Thighs Heard You Call Them Fat and Now They're Sad So Throw Your Goddamn Scale Out, Apologize to Your Thighs for Being Mean, and Don't Even Think About Talking Behind Your Boobs' Back Because Your Gorgeous Ass Won't Participate in Your Malicious Gossip Any Longer" The title's a work in progress. But I hope it leads you to check your thoughts about your body and how you treat yourself, and brings deeper compassion and kindness for self and others. And seriously, get rid of that fucking scale - it blocks you from loving yourself. And honestly...subscribe to National Geographic, or buy anything by Pema Chodron, the Dalai Lama, Marianne Williamson, Eckhart Tolle or the countless other leaders in this revolution. Not into the spiritual stuff? I'm currently reading Amy Poehlers new book and have Lena Dunhams "on the ready". Both are funny and real ladies who speak their truth in an identifiable way. So there you have my blog post. Thank you for reading my diatribe. Oh, and diets are stupid. They fuck with your mind and metabolism. Start noticing all the wonderful ways you contribute to growing more love and kindness in the world...and if you aren't adding love and compassion, what exactly are you adding? And for the planets sake, please start serving up some love...and eventually, you won't be able to not treat your body with this same loving kindness. And finally, sorry for swearing. I just really care about you. |
LallyBlogWriting is like playtime to me. Exploring the nooks and crannys of my mind allows me to open to possibility, unbounded creativity, and truth. Sometimes it's messy. Sometimes it's angry. Sometimes it's lighthearted. Sometimes it's corny. Enjoy or dislike it as much as you want. Feel free to share. I'd appreciate that. Archives
