I made this poster for the Burn All Books newsletter. Nick Bernal from B.A.B. riso-printed it. Pretty happy with how it turned out. If you subscribe to their newsletter, you should be getting this one in the mail very soon.
"Why you so thin?" "When will you lose weight?" "shall I recommend you a fairness cream?" "Why is your skin so pale?" "Don't talk too much!!" "Are you mute...why you not talking??"....... My point guys? They'll never shut up. they'll never stop fucking with your head...so don't bother listening. Be you.you don't need someone's approval to be you.. don't let them get to you..at the end of the day you're beautiful the way you are.
I feel that lately as I have been trying to get my body back after surgery, I have noticed that I have not been the nicest to me and that I need to treat my body like the temple it is. I am trying to get my body back and it is really working against me. But if I was doing all the things I know I should have been in the first place it would not have been so hard. I am the queen or herbs, gardening and healthy living and I am not following my own words. Time to get my shit back in order because 45 is not old. I am still very much young and I need to remember that and stop falling into these pits of despair with depression. You are better than this and you know it. GET TO WORK!!!! PEP TALK TO MYSELF...
If a genius told you that you mattered would you listen? Or that you're beautiful or smart or that they were proud of you? Why does someone else's opinion matter so much? We are matter. Matter is what can be weighed and measured, but, what actually matters? Really? What matters to you? Do YOU really matter to YOU? We assign weight to thoughts and feelings and ideas. We define measurements. If we are matter and we are made of matter, then why don't we make OURSELVES matter more often? We're all guilty of it ... committing to someone else's opinion over our own, shrinking, hiding, ignoring our instincts and desires ... But what if we traded our worst case scenarios for our best case scenarios? If you were the Queen of the Universe would you act differently? Would you treat yourself better? If you were THE HOME of the Universe would you care for yourself differently? Would you care for others differently? What if you actually were the center of the Universe?? Well, you're not. You are not the center of the Universe. YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE. AND YOU MATTER. #youmatter #confidenceboost #peptalk (at Themis and Thread) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJVEFBJ1uT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
