Iron Beauty

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see the real you, or what you have been conditioned to believe is you? The two are so, so different. One is an infinite consciousness capable of being and creating whatever it chooses, the other is an illusion imprisoned by its own perceived and programmed limitations.

Honestly, you can’t criticize yourself into a better version of yourself. And even though I know this, I sometimes still fall victim to my own negative thinking. Often, I speak rudely to myself or put myself down. I make a mistake, or fall short of my own expectations, and instead of treating it as a learning opportunity, I beat myself up about it.

Here’s how I handle it: Every time I catch myself thinking I’m not good enough, I immediately say out loud or write down a positive thought that debunks my negativity. I’ve been doing this for the past few months and it has made a huge difference in my life. I challenge you to do the same.

Always show gratitude and always be forever grateful, there’s always a lesson to be learnt☀️❤️

Thank you genius and creative for my fantastic shot 📸

5 years ago... I became grateful through this journey and that it instilled an entirely new source of positive energy in me. So when things are tough, when everything seems to be collapsing in your world, take a step back, breath, and be grateful. Realize how lucky you are to be where you are.
Rather than a complaint about all the things that you don’t have, take a moment to focus on all that you do have. Rather than complaint about all the things that you can’t do at this given moment, focus your attention on all the things that you can do.

Baby, I’ve been a size 6, and I’ve been a size 16.

I’ve danced for 8 hours a day and gone to the gym straight after, and I’ve not touched a gym for years (more recent than you’d think).

I’ve calorie counted, and I’ve thrown the scales in the bin.

I’ve eaten, and I’ve not.

I’ve taken the pills, I’ve done the shakes, I’ve been on both ends of the spectrum.

Let me tell you, regardless of the number, I have ALWAYS been called FAT by SOMEONE, but the HAPPIEST I’ve ever been is when I REALISED I bring a hell of a lot more to the table than a dress size and a number on a scale.

And if “FAT” was the smartest insult they could come up with, then the joke is on them!

I’m funny, I’m smart, I’m brave, I’m a good friend, I try my best with literally EVERYTHING, and I can pull a make-up look out of my bag in RECORD speed.

So if you’re feeling a little down scrolling through Facebook or Instagram at these incredible bodies and comparing yourself and picking apart what you’re NOT, just take a moment to remind yourself of what you ARE.

What are your values? What’s your attitude? What do you stand for? How do people feel when they’re around you?

Because who you ARE is far more impressive to me than what you weigh💋✨

You have to believe in it, dream for it, go to sleep thinking about it…. Do you even really want it? Whatever your goal is🌎
