We are spending this weekend replacing flooring and repainting rooms 🫠
While painting I had a moment where could feel the top of my shorts rolling down under my stomach and it did not feel flattering. I even thought to myself, "ugh I wish I had my old stomach back" referring to the one that was tight and had visible abs. Then I quickly threw that thought out the window, because that is not the way I want to be thinking of my body. I replaced my thoughts with how I recently ran a marathon, I work out on a regular basis, I birthed 3 kids, life has been very stressful with all this moving prep, and homeschooling coming to an end for the year.
Even I have to step back every once in a while to practice what I preach. I am not perfect but I am always trying to self improve and give myself grace when I start being too harsh on myself.
If you find yourself talking negatively about your body, stop and think of 3 positive things about it and 3 small things you have been doing that is good for either your mental or physical health. And it can be as simple as drinking more water, going to bed earlier, or implementing a skin care routine.
