While writing my book, many people, places and events inspired me. This blog is to help look deeper into the inspiration behind some of the moments in my book, How to Embrace Your Inner Hotness.
The quote above was inspired by a woman I met at one of my Hotness Workshops. She was a mother of four children that were close in age. As so many of us do in that process, she lost a tinge of sanity, a lot of peace and the figure she had before she became a mother. At the workshop, she shared with the group a powerful story of how she learned about positive self-talk.
One day, after she got out of the shower, she looked in the mirror and felt that what she saw was not flattering. She was struck by the changes in her body. She said, “I grabbed by tummy, disgusted with myself that I was this fat! How could I let this happen?! I started to call myself names… and then I felt something stop me. Hadn’t this body birthed four healthy babies? That was a gift. I felt an impression that I was never to be so unkind to myself again. I felt that it was from God.”
After she told her story, the room was quiet. We all knew we were guilty of being unkind to ourselves and even bullying ourselves at times. Her experience spoke that truth into our hearts, in a clearer way than I could ever express. The truth was that God doesn’t want us to feel poopy about ourselves. Don’t be mean to that amazing body you have! It was made ON purpose for a purpose.
Choose to be nice to you. Honor yourself with your thoughts. Feed your mirror kind things.
