A Chat on Body Positivity, Loving the Skin You're In + A Quick Hip Flexor Stretch for Mental Wellness

A Chat on Body Positivity, Loving the Skin You're In + A Quick Hip Flexor Stretch for Mental Wellness This week we are covering Mental Wellness, and I wanted to kick off this beautiful spring weather by talking about body positivity.   This Spring/Summer season, let's be kind to ourselves when we look in the mirror. This discussion reflects on how the beauty standard makes it hard for anyone to feel as though they live up to the "ideal."  Even those who do, the pressure to maintain that image can lead to some of the unhealthy habits. All in all, no one wins until the standard itself is removed.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it cannot be objectively defined by societal or cultural norms.    All of us have features and traits that tell a story, that reflect a history in continuation. It's about time that we embrace our physical individuality and recognize that all that makes us different, was always worthy of celebration.   #MentalWellness #BodyPositivity #LoveTheSkinYoureIn #MindsetShift #EmbraceSelf #SelfLove #SilenceTheInnerCritic #LoveThyself   *RESOURCES*   - What is Body Positivity? : https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-body-positivity-4773402   - With Superheroes Comes the Pressure of Unrealistic Male Bodies: https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/male-body-image-problems   - Body Image, Self-Esteem, and Mental Health: https://www.heretohelp.bc.ca/infosheet/body-image-self-esteem-and-mental-health   For all topics related to renewing and rebuilding family, communities and relationships, check out our blogs!  We post bi-weekly:  https://www.spe-projectpurpose.com/blogs​   Make sure to come visit us, subscribe to the website, and join our Member's Area for more valuable content:   *SOCIALS*  Website: www.spe-projectpurpose.com   Facebook Page: @ProjectPurposeSPE  Instagram: @ProjectPurposeSPE or my personal account @realistrae  Twitter: @Purpose_SPE  Pinterest: @ProjectPurposeSPE  YouTube: Project Purpose SPE  If you'd like to read my research thesis, "ADHD: Is it a Social Construct or does it have a Neurophysiological Basis?" you can find it at the following address: https://rachellerealist.wordpress.com​.  ​ I'm more than happy to answer your questions, feel free to send an email to: [email protected]   The pre-recorded parent-child workshops are on the way for children between the ages of 4-8; 9-13; and 14-17.  Be sure to subscribe to the website to know once they have been released!   Do you like the intro/outro music?   Check out the artist on Spotify:  Artist Name: Valdii Song Name: I Learn
