HELP! I AM STUCK! (WHAT TO DO TO GET BACK IN FLOW)
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU’RE TOTALLY STUCK.
Shift into Your Body, Shift into Your Innate Worth + Connect with Your intuition
Letting go of weight loss, your ‘ideal body,’ and why loving yourself as you are right now is the key to getting through to your intuition
The biggest myth we face in our culture right now is that changing your external body will shift your internal worth.
OOF, this crock of SHIT… Y’all, if I could wave a magic wand right now and fix one thing, it would be to lift the veil and show anyone that believes changing their body will change their confidence how flawed that logic is.
BODIES, BEAUTY STANDARDS AND THE PRESSURE TO BE EVERYTHING
Now more than ever, I think the pressure to be thin and have glowing, clear skin can be perceived as a moral failing. Many alternative healers and lifestyles touted in Goop and the like make it seem that if we aren’t eating plant-based, sugar-free, gluten-free (or whatever is in rn) then we’re going to inflame our system to high heaven, die from depression and our vaginas will stop working. Now, let me also be frank and say, almost 100% I subscribe to these kinds of alternative healing ideas, but to what end? If I end up blaming my own lack of self-control and then shame spiral? THEN WHAT?
Life in Austin
In my experience, Austin's a come as you are party and authenticity rules. People ask how you are and expect an actual answer. At the coffee shops, the barista will ask what you've been up to or where you are going next. At first, I was actually disturbed by this invasion of privacy, Why tf are you trying to talk to me? Please leave me in peace to anonymously buy my coffee. But, all the earnestness in town has helped me break out of the performance of self that was my outer shell for New York, which if I'm being honest started in college.
