LOVIN' THE SKIN YOU'RE IN
Throughout life, you’ll discover personal attributes that frustrate, challenge, or maybe even disgust you. Perhaps your eyes aren’t the color you’d like, or your nose is a little wider than most. Maybe you’ve always wanted to be tall or maybe your foot size makes it difficult to find shoes in your size. Perhaps your wide hips have been something you’ve always wrestled with or the thin frame that everyone else admires, you would trade any day. What can you do to accept your body just the way it is?
If you have found yourself struggling with loving the skin you are in, then consider these action tips designed to help you learn to LOVE the skin you are in:
Remind yourself that it’s the only body you have. It might sound silly but, unless you have lots of money and time to pay for and undergo cosmetic surgeries, this is the body you’ve been given. Accepting it will save you a lot of grief.
Survey your body “systems.” How well does your body work for you? Examine the intricacies of your very own body and its functionality. You’ll likely be pleased at all the things your body does for you.
Take pride in your positive attributes. If your hair is short and kinky, rock what you’ve got. Has having to wear glasses always been your challenge, well order a new set of frames that compliment your face and express your personality. Trouble with your skin? Explore a new facial regiment but love it nonetheless. These are attributes that make you uniquely you.
. Notice when your body works well for you. Maybe you almost missed the bus this morning but you ran like a racehorse and jumped on the bus just before it pulled away. You must admit, it’s a beautiful thing to be able to run fast enough to catch the bus. Recognize how well your body can respond to your needs.
Develop a realistic plan for change. In the event you wish to build muscles in your arms, it can be done. But you must consult with exercise coaches and similar experts to achieve the results you want. Pay attention to those attributes that you have the power to change.
Commit to your plan to change what’s possible and set aside time to achieve your goals. Once you realize what you have the power to change and you have written a realistic plan, vow to follow your plan. Allow time in an average day to work your plan. You’re forming a new habit and it must be repeated several times weekly to achieve the results you’re after.
7.Deal in healthy ways with things you can’t change. Rather than get disappointed or angry about one of your body’s attributes, recognize that certain people are born with certain characteristics that likely are unable to be changed. Embracing your physical appearance just the way you are is the best route to living a life of self-confidence and serenity.
Take care of your body. The best way to show your love for your body is to take good care of it. Notice your appearance. Use lotions and moisturizers to maintain supple, smooth skin. Keep your hair healthy. Take part in regular and consistent exercise. Provide good nourishment to your body. No matter what size, weight, or physical attributes you have, when you take care of your body, you’re showing the love you have for yourself.
Accepting your body image is so important to your everyday existence. When you can say, “I’m okay just the way I am,” you’ll lead a calmer, more settled, and happier life.
Don’t Be Discouraged by Closed Doors Just because a door didn’t open doesn’t mean your journey is over — it simply means it wasn’t your door. If the door doesn’t open, it’s not your door. Trust that what God has for you is already yours. Keep showing up. Keep preparing. Keep believing. Your consistency and faith are not in vain. God’s timing is perfect, and when the door meant for you opens, no one and nothing can shut it. Stay faithful. Stay focused. Stay ready. Your moment is coming — right on time.
THINK ABOUT IT THURSDAY... Hey sis, you don’t need to shrink yourself to be accepted. You don’t owe anyone access to a version of you that compromises your peace. I've come to learn that while people pleasing may feel polite, it can quietly steal your power, your time, and your joy. Saying “yes” to everything often means saying “no” to yourself, and that's not cute. I want you to remember, you’re allowed to do what’s best for YOU. That doesn’t make you selfish—it makes you wise. Boundaries are not walls; they are bridges to your well-being. Today, give yourself permission to: - Say no without over-explaining - Choose rest without guilt - Protect your peace without apology Drop a comment below if you're done being everything for everyone. It's time to normalize self-respect over self-sacrifice.
Stop Settling. Start Striving. Sis, you weren’t created to play small. You weren’t designed to dim your light. You weren’t placed here to settle for crumbs when you were born to feast. It’s time to raise your standards, stretch your vision, and step into more — more purpose, more peace, more power. Stop asking, “Is this enough?” and start declaring, “There’s more for me, and I’m going after it all!” No more shrinking. No more second-guessing. Only growth, greatness, and hitting your goals. This is your season to STRIVE, not settle.
STAY FOCUSED GIRL! When you fix your eyes on God and your goals, something powerful happens… You grow, you glow, and you inspire others to do the same. Distractions will come, but don’t let them detour your destiny. Stay planted in purpose, grounded in prayer, and focused on the bigger picture. Your consistency is your glow up.
CONFIDENCE CHECK "Confidence doesn’t mean you’re perfect—it means you’re courageous enough to keep showing up." Sis, perfection is not the goal. Consistency, courage, and showing up even when it’s hard—that’s where your power lies. Every time you rise, speak up, try again, or take one more step… you’re building the kind of confidence that can’t be shaken. * Show up messy. * Show up uncertain. * Just keep showing up. The more you do, the more unstoppable you become. Tag a woman who keeps showing up—no matter what.
MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY "You owe it to yourself to show up for your life, and you owe it to your Creator to show up for the life He gave you." – Jennifer Allwood Let that sink in. Yes, we’re living in challenging times. The weight is real. The battles are personal. But even still, you were created for more than just surviving. You were created to live, to lead, to shine. 💫 The time is not someday. 💫 The time is now. 💫 Show up, even if it’s with shaky hands and a hopeful heart. There’s purpose in your presence, power in your press, and destiny on the other side of your “yes.” The world is waiting. So show up… for YOU.
Hey Mom...your belief is your daughter's foundation. Behind every confident daughter is a mother who believed first, for both of them. 💕 Never underestimate the gift and the responsibility of believing in your daughter's dreams, her voice, her brilliance…and in your own.

For the legacy you're building together. #BuildingBrilliantBonds #MothersRaisingDaughters #BelieveInHer #ConfidenceStartsAtHome #RaisingBrilliantGirls #MamaLegacy
