#MondayMantra – Show Up as Your True Self

Why on earth would I choose to post a no-makeup, less-than-flattering photo of myself on social media? Because being brave and learning to Love the body I live in sometimes shows up as simply allowing myself to be visible.

Even when it’s scary. Even when I feel insecure. Even when I struggle with comparing my body/face/talents/_____ to someone else.

Remember this, Loves, YOU are Amazing, exactly as you are. Use this powerful mantra to help you take a step out of the prison of self-shame today: “I choose to show up as my true self.”
