I started my workout at 5am this morning, earlier than usual because I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t sleep because online bullies comments hurt AND I disliked how so many comments on my recent post were right. I asked myself, why wasn’t my original photo good enough to share with the world?! At the time I thought, this photo of my face is not “pretty enough” I have an image to uphold & must make it look flawless! Crap! It made me feel sh*t!! I don’t want to conform, I want to continue to inspire real women to love themselves for the bloody breathtaking beings that we are. This is me at this VERY moment, no make up, no filters or edits and I’m scared sh*tless to upload it, but want too so I prove my point that real is better, to share with you that I’m nowhere near perfect & that we all have similar feelings. I’m scared because I think I’ll let ppl down(don’t know who they are btw!!), be judged, compared & ridiculed by the media. I have the same inhibitions/insecurities as every other woman out there. I believe we all have our good and bad days(hopefully mostly good) but on the bad days like TODAY I cry because I’m not confident 24/7, I’m vulnerable, fragile & sensitive. . To the bullies out there; I’m more engaged with my followers online than ever because of my business & so I read comments, react & reply. On my ‘good days’ my mindset stays strong that people’s comments are only a reflection of themselves. But on my bad days they HURT. This isn’t a post for anyone to feel sorry for me BUT it IS a post to inspire women to know that we’re all good enough Just. The. Way. We. Are & we’re all in it together!!!!! We all share the same feelings & energies surrounding body image, self image, self love and we all know it comes down to our inner light & inner beauty. I’m not flawless, I’m not perfect, I don’t love myself everyday the way I should but I try & control my thoughts & resort back to knowing my worth. Comment with your favourite coloured heart below to share with YOURSELF. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖 #selflove #real #unity
