I saw a post on Instagram this morning that said something to the effect of: If women felt confident about themselves as they are, whole industries would collapse. And it made me smile. Because it's true. Yes, that also applies to men, and so we'll extend it to say: Remember, you're enough as you are.
At a time when Hollywood is reverting to the 60s-90s uber thin model, and everyone feels like their bank accounts are full of cobwebs instead of dollars, and it's also the holiday season so companies are trying to push you to spend-spend-spend, take a minute to pause. Breathe. Stop. You really don't need any of it. You don't need to be thinner or prettier. You don't need to be taller or shorter or have a different nose or hair color even. Yes we want you to be healthy, be balanced, be continuing to improve yourself mentally and emotionally, but the newest sneaker or eye shadow or toy or car or phone or highlight trend or one more pant size down isn't going to change who you are inside. If you're putting in the effort to be a good, kind, honest, caring person, then you're probably pretty great just as you are. No new labels, colors, size needed.
Remember. You're enough as you are.
Happy holiday season.
