I'll be the first to admit I have a very bad habit…when I am feeling good, it doesn't exist but when I am feeling bad…it lurks everywhere. It poisons my eyes as I scroll through FB/IG, slaps me while I watch t.v., and flat out punches me hard when I hit the gym…I compare myself to other women. I'm pretty sure this is not an uncommon trait for most. A large majority of the time I have taught myself to control such irrational thinking but I would be lying if there are not brief moments in which I do not look towards another female with a sense of honest envy. Can you relate? We do not know them….their personalities, circumstances, experiences, traumas….we just see what we believe to be better than us. We create these comparisons all by ourselves…we subscribe to a mindset that assumes their external appearance must mean they are happier, stronger, nicer, better than us. And then when we acknowledge these feelings of insecurities or lack of worth, those that matter most to us quickly remind of us how ridiculous we are being and suddenly we then begin to berate ourselves for being silly and ridiculous to begin with…..vicious cycle!!!! As the saying goes "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent"…….recognizing our own AWESOMENESS is not something that simply comes by nature. Like anything it takes practice….work……a willingness to accept ourselves for not being 'perfect' but rather 'perfectly imperfect'. So today I choose not to scroll through Instagram or Facebook in search of the typical WCW (woman crush wednesday) but rather take a moment to identify 3 things that make me my very own WCA(woman crush always)….. I have a big back that I love…….I have a big heart that I love with ………I am Be-YOU-tiful Your Turn….
