I am enough.⁣ ⁣ This is the simple affirmation I am enough.⁣ ⁣ This is the simple affirmation I've been focusing on during this stressful time. ⁣ We're all experiencing a mix of emotions right now.⁣ ⁣ Uncertainty⁣ Doubt⁣ Guilt⁣ Loneliness⁣ ⁣ When we get too caught up in all the craziness, it's easy to forget to take time for ourselves.⁣ ⁣ Show yourself a little self-compassion today.⁣ ⁣ @each_day_a_moment is encouraging people to spread positivity by sharing a quote or affirmation that is helping you get through this. #GoodVibeTribe #eachdayamoment⁣ ⁣ Their most popular product, The Facial Rinse Kit, now comes with a free Motivational Mirror Marker so you can write your affirmation where you know you'll see it. ⁣they have a deal going on where you can get the kit for $5 off by using the code GOODVIBES so you can join in on this positivity-spreading campaign.

Instagram vs reality⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I feel like a hypo Instagram vs reality⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I feel like a hypocrite. I started on here because I wanted to share real, honest talk on topics of insecurity, self-acceptance, self-care, and mental health. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ But when I look back on my Instagram feed, all I see is posed/ planned photos. I talk about wanting to bring authenticity to social media while I post photos with my hair and makeup done, cute shots from a photoshoot.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ And, sure, I share a real look into my life on my IG stories from time to time. Many of you have probably seen me show up there with no makeup, chatting about introvert problems. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ But I want to get really real with you. I want to stop contributing to social media's illusions of reality. I dont want to pick-and-choose cute shots just to match my aesthetic anymore.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with posed shots, planned content, or stylized branding sometimes. Your social media account is your form of self expression and you can dress it up or down as much as you like.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ All I'm saying is that I think it's time I add a little more realness to this highlight-reel. ⁣ ⁣ Want to do the same?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣- ⁣- ⁣- ⁣- #selfesteemboost #honestsocialmedia #promotingauthenticity #seekthepositive #createyourlife #seekinspirecreate #letsgetreal #effyourbeautystandards #createyourconfidence #honestinstagram #showmesomethingreal #flawedandfabulous #showyourflaws #selfwmpowerment #selfloveclub #inspiredwomen #vulnerabilityisstrength #denverblogger
During this stressful time, it's easy to get overw During this stressful time, it's easy to get overwhelmed by uncertainty.⁠ ⁠ You know what is certain right now? ⁠ ✔️ You have technology that allows you to connect with others, even in isolation.⁠ ✔️ You're breathing.⁠ ✔️ You have blood flowing through your veins.⁠ ✔️ You're alive.⁠ ⁠ It's natural to worry about money and the future, especially at times like this. I know I've spent a lot of time this week feeling anxious and unsure what to do.⁠ ⁠ But when we're facing so much stress and hardship, it's important to step back and really look at the big picture. Your life means so much more than your monetary stresses. Things will work out as time goes on as long as you keep moving.⁠ ⁠ Let's just take a second to celebrate the fact that we get to experience all the good, bad, stressful, uncertain, wonderful things together while we're still here.⁠ ⁠
"What's so bad about being shy?"⁣ ⁣ My therapi "What's so bad about being shy?"⁣ ⁣ My therapist asked me halfway through our first meeting. I stopped.⁣ ⁣ I'd spent a good part of middle school, high school, and college loathing the term "shy" and all the assumptions that went along with it.⁣ ⁣ Shy people are timid⁣ Shy people are anti-social⁣ Shy people are boring⁣ ⁣ I thought my reserved nature was something I was judged for. Something to be ashamed of. ⁣ ⁣ But whether you're an introvert or an extrovert, quiet or loud, you are you. Theres nothing wrong with being you. ⁣ ⁣ If you're feeling a little insecure about it, check in with yourself. ⁣ Are you spending time with the right people? Are you doing things you enjoy?⁣ ⁣ Sometimes we forget that being true to ourselves isnt so bad.⁣

"The most important relationship in your life is w "The most important relationship in your life is with yourself. Because no matter what happens you'll always be yourself." Diane von Furstenberg⁠ ⁠ The week leading up to Valentine's Day always seems to focus on the cutesy-couple stuff- all the heart-shaped chocolates and cheesy love letters. ⁠ ⁠ A holiday dedicated to romantic love can leave many people feeling pretty lonely.⁠ ⁠ Do you agree?⁠ ⁠ This Valentine's Day, show yourself a little love. Whether you have a S.O or you're flying solo, spend some time doing something for yourself. You deserve some love from the person who knows you best, you.⁠ ⁠ ---⁠ ⁠ Btw I shared some advice and ideas on how to "date yourself" on @nadaliebardo's blog. Link in bio ⁠
