My Home Team

How do you talk to your friends about their bodies❓⁣ About what they eat❓⁣ About how they choose to spend their time❓⁣

The more I read & the more I listen to people talk about struggles with their bodies or self, the more aware I am of the power of words.⁣ ⁣ We have friends⁣ And we have best friends⁣ ⁣ Maybe it’s the ones we love the most⁣ Or the ones we like the least ⁣ That we let speak the loudest into our lives⁣ ⁣ Something that I’ve found that is so important is that I find & invest in people who truly bring out the best in me - those who lead me to make healthy decisions - who walk beside me (sometimes before me) through life’s ups and downs - who speak highly of me to their peers (IMPORTANT!) and those who see me through the lens of love and not judgement or jealousy.💕⁣ ⁣ I’ve made so much internal (and external) progress in learning to love myself this year - but thankfully I didn’t have to do it alone.⁣ ⁣ And neither do you. ⁣ ⁣ It’s up to us to curate strong, safe friendships in our lives. ⁣ The real life ones & the Instagram ones.⁣ ⁣ The messages we welcome into our lives are penetrating our subconscious with messages about our worth, bodies & beliefs —> even when we aren’t aware. ⁣ ⁣ Who are you letting talk to you about your body? ⁣ About what you eat?⁣ About how you choose to spend your time? ⁣ ⁣ We don’t have to go at this self love journey alone. But if we don’t have people speaking love & positivity into our lives & feeds, ⁣ we might as well be. ⁣ ⁣ Find your home team. ⁣ Love them hard.⁣ Believe in them fiercely. ⁣ Root them on relentlessly.⁣ And let them do the same for you. ⁣ ⁣ Respect yourself enough to know you deserve the best kind of love - from yourself & others. ⁣ ⁣ Especially thankful today for my team & the ones who have been so instrumental in lifting me up & encouraging me this year. 💗 I encourage you take a moment to be thankful for yours as well. ✨ ⁣
