Day Four
Yesterday was a big day!
Y'all. THIS WORK IS VULNERABLE AND HARD SOMETIMES. Interacting with our bodies, stretching ourselves out of our comfort zones, challenging our own understanding of ourselves -- in case you didn't realize it, by participating in this challenge, you are doing ALL OF THESE THINGS. If you haven't already, please give yourself a round of applause. You're doing this thing!!!! GOOD JOB, YOU.
Let's keep up the amazing work with our Day 4 Selfie!
🌻 Today's #SelfietoSelfLove Empowerment Challenge prompt is to take a selfie that includes something you are learning to love about yourself. And then, post it to the Empowerment Studio, along with three compliments about yourself. 🌻
When you're posting your photo: DON'T TELL US WHAT BODY PART IS CHALLENGING FOR YOU! It's just going to be in the photo. Included in there somewhere, doesn't even have to be the focus. The focus is going to be in the compliments you give yourself. Just like you've been doing for others all week -- now it's time to turn it around and compliment yourself.
When you're complimenting others: DON'T GUESS WHAT THEIR CHALLENGING BODY PART IS. Don't reassure them (because we aren't guessing what they would need reassuring about -- don't assume!). Do make bold, unique, and specific compliments (as we do) - about body parts; about non-physical things; about energy and tenacity and strength.
My goal is that we throw so much love at ourselves and each other in these images, that even WE start to believe that those tricky bits of ourselves are part of a whole and we see that that whole is a beautiful thing.
This is good stuff, right? We are changing lives, here. Including our own. (Schmoooopy AF but also true!)
