BN 5 Acceptance and Neutrality I don't feel the anxiety I normally would at pictures like this. It feels like something inside me is loosening.

Day 6: Bigger Picture. Every step is hard. Training for going to a place where everything is on hills. I have to go slow and stop but I did make it to the top!

Day 5: what makes me happy about myself is that I am learning full gratitude for all the places my body can take me. Rather than comparing to others I feel grateful today that I can stand here... on a fall day, before the rain begins, at my school during

BR D1: connecting with my breathe. After my first day at teaching school & a lovely but far away dinner and concert with friends it feels very grounding to take a moment to reconnect with myself this evening ❤

Day 6: The selfie I need. Today I wanted a picture of myself on the beach. I was once terrified of pictures from behind but it has become one of my favorite angles.

Day 2: Holding my value. I was planning all week to take a picture with my grad tassle, but this little pansy was too beautiful to walk past and ignore.

Day 3: Playing with light... basking in the sun. My inner critic says no to a photo taken from below. What I like about this picture is how my eyes look and how tanned and freckled I am getting this summer.

I see my split bangs, long dark hair, happy face, blue eyes, wide jaw, double chin, soft body, rib rolls. That was harder than I thought it would be to write.

Quieting the tapes... always with the headphones. Music, podcasts, audio books... I love them all.
jpatura76:
Sorry not sorry. Full body shot and skrike a pose... which I was scared to do. And I thought to myself that makeupless would mentally be less intimidating. I planned how I could be all "out of the shower just home from Zumba"... But that is not why I am t

Day 4: Eye Contact. I have been avoiding and delaying this one... waiting for the moment when my hair and makeup would be done properly. I realized I was avoiding it about 5 minutes ago and so I decided to take it as I am. In pjs, messy hair, just back fr

I feel most nourished when I get enough sleep. It's the laat semester of my Bachelors and I just got a new job. Sleep feels in short supply these days hahaha. I often find myself daydreaming about the moment I can finally lay down and pull up the covers
