レイチェル・ブレイセンのインスタグラム(yoga_girl) - 6月9日 06時30分

I get flooded with comments and questions about looking pretty. It's questions about losing weight. About diets. Beauty products. Exercise routines. I do my best to answer in my own hippie way ("do yoga, eat your veggies, meditate, use coconut oil" etc etc) but I think there is a fundamental issue beneath all of this that no one is addressing.
Why is it that we on some level feel that we are not good enough the way we are?? Who taught us that we need to see a certain number on a scale to be happy? Yes - we want to be healthy. But this world (especially this strange social media one) is so full of unrealistic expectations that simply no one can live up to.

My least favorite comment I see on my feed is "You are perfect". No, scratch that. My least favorite comment? "I wish I looked like you". You guys know this is an Instagram feed, right? I choose what I post here. I could post photos of myself eating cheese while lying in bed last night watching old episodes of How I Met Your Mother (yep) or of how oily my skin gets when I've had too many beers the night before (yep) or the stretch marks I have on my upper thighs (yep). Or any of the million things that are not, in any way, "perfect" about the way I look. But I choose not to. I post photos that I feel inspire people, but it's important that you understand that I'm not always in balance. I cry and get sad and I have days when I feel ugly, or fat, or insignificant. I have days when I feel... Not good enough. But for what?

We need to stop comparing ourselves with others and start loving ourselves, just the way we are. Love your body. Love your soul! We need to deeply accept that we are already okay. You are okay. You are more than okay! You are beautiful, just the way you are.

Instead of thinking you need to change your body so you can love your body - love your body so you can change it. You might find nothing needs to be changed at all, and that the flaws you saw before are the very aspects of you that make you who you are. You are a gorgeous being of divine light! So please, be nice to yourself.

Love your body. Love your soul. #loveyourbodyloveyoursoul
