Bikini Body Talk

April 21, 2021

Genau bikini

Leftovers from Miami. I’m still not fully comfortable posing in a bikini on a beach. It’s always an “awkward capture this quick, what am I doing?” moment. Even posting photos of me in a bikini on here raises anxiety within myself. But then there are days when you remind yourself to stop thinking about those who are watching or judging and just not give af about what others think about what you do in your own skin. There’s still that voice in my head that is not fully confident sometimes, but it is far less loud than before.

Things That Make Me Feel Good

January 24, 2021

We are spending so much time at home, that we are forced to stop and look at the little things that we do around the house that make us feel good in our skin, and that make the day worth living fully. Without doing so, we may all just go a little bit insane, and none of us want that. What are part of your simple at-home rituals that are keeping you cheerful and motivated even if you are lacking a sense of direction? For me, it’s giving myself a true time out for some TLC. Stopping to listen to my body helps me rejuvenate, even if it’s something as simple as lying on my back on my yoga mat and just paying attention to my breathing. It seems so small, but it actually is a HUGE help. Rituals like this are larger than life, and they most likely will be for a long time to come. To think we overlooked these little actions in the past so many times. Today, they shine.

Up Close and Personal

October 18, 2020

I started reading a lot in Brazil and finished The Vegetarian by Han Kang and now I’m going to start Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante, the third in a series. I feel like I gained back focus with this last read that left me questioning so much about mental health and the cultural differences in approaching it specifically amongst women. This was a focus that was lost to too much screen time. Getting back to my old reading rituals is one part of my wellness goal for the days to come. Every time I take something a away from a book I’m reading, I find somehow to learn something more about myself and my own view on the world. That’s my favorite thing about getting lost in a story. It’s seeing bits of myself reflected in it. It’s like taking little steps towards being more and more up close and personal with myself.
