Ένας λογαριασμός στο Instagram μάς παρακινεί να αγαπήσουμε το σώμα μας

Μηνύματα με θετικό πρόσημο από την Danae Mercer

Γνωρίζουμε ότι πρέπει να αγαπάμε και να αποδεχόμαστε το σώμα μας όπως είναι, να φροντίζουμε τη σωματική και ψυχική μας υγεία, και ότι το ποιοι είμαστε είναι απείρως πιο σημαντικό από πώς δείχνουμε, αλλά μερικές φορές είναι πιο εύκολο να το πούμε παρά να το πιστέψουμε. Η κουλτούρα της δίαιτας, τα μέσα μαζικής ενημέρωσης, ακόμη και οι δικές μας ανασφάλειες μάς εμποδίζουν να ζούμε πραγματικά τη στιγμή και να εκτιμούμε τον εαυτό μας, θέτοντας συχνά ως εμπόδιο την εμφάνισή μας.

Η Danae Mercer (@danaemercer στο Instagram), δημιουργός του Talking Out Loud YouTube channel, θέλει να μας υπενθυμίσει τι είναι πραγματικά σημαντικό και να αναδείξει την ομορφιά του κάθε σώματος. Η ίδια γράφει φράσεις με θετικό πρόσημο πάνω στην πλάτη της για περάσει το μήνυμά της, ενώ καταδεικνύει επίσης σεξιστικές και ρατσιστικές συμπεριφορές. Δείτε μερικά από τα πιο δυνατά quotes της στο Instagram:

Hands up if you’ve ever skipped a party because you felt unattractive. Or a meal with your friends because it didn’t fit into your diet plan. Or the quiet intimacy of lying on your side, your partner wrapped around you, because you didn’t want them to feel the soothing softness of your stomach. Hands up if you’ve ignored your DREAM LIFE in pursuit of that DREAM PHYSIQUE. I know I have. And it sort of sucked. Because here’s the thing: changing my body, shrinking this or growing that, it never shifted how I felt about myself. It never WILL, unless we sort out WHAT’S HAPPENING in our HEADS first. And while we’re busy chasing PANTS SIZES or NUMBERS on the SCALE, we lose out on moments. Minutes. Memories with the people we love. So today, I challenge you to fight against the body obsession that we are taught. Not against health goals — health goals are great, and good, and wonderful. But the lessons that whisper about our ‘imperfections’ or that we are ‘never enough’, or that no one will LOVE us until we are PERFECT. Fight against these. Because you deserve those millions of snapshot moments that come from LIVING, from EXPERIENCING. Your life is happening now. Already. Now. Don’t let diet culture make a second of it pass you by. You got this girl. x Clothes @missguided . . #selflove #edawareness #antidietculture #bodyconfident #stretchmarks #womenirl #meufparis

CLOTHING is NOT CONSENT. Don’t let anyone try to PRESSURE you into believing otherwise. Over 80 percent of assaults occur by someone the victim knows. This means attackers are friends. Coaches. Colleges. People we trust. And often, when something happens, we turn inwards. We blame ourselves. WE were dressed incorrectly. WE shouldn’t have gone to that bar. WE shouldn’t have said yes to staying late. We. We. We. Only no. No. Assault isn’t about the act. It’s about power and control. And your clothing doesn’t factor into that equation. So today, I want to remind you: What you WEAR never means YES. What you drink, how you dance, where you are, these things don’t mean it either. If anyone has ever told you otherwise — especially if it’s a man, especially after a situation that has left you feeling off or strange or fragile or raw, or like something ill was planted in your stomach — know they are wrong. They are lying, trying to claw back that bit of power. Only yes means yes. It’s that complex and that simple. And clothing has nothing to do with it. — Art and image concept by @Ria.e.johnson — Image poetry by @leahjstone #feminist #consent #metoo #feministart #feministquotes

Brave girl, promise me you will not SHRINK YOURSELF to make others feel more COMFORTABLE. Not your body. Not your intelligence. Not your humor, your dreams, your goals. Not ANY PART of you. Because so much of what we’re told as women and girls is that we SHOULD BE LESS THAN. We should be smaller. We must SLIM our figures. Quiet our laughs. Diet down. Soften our intelligence. Starve and reduce and defer and decrease. I’ve spent so much of my life shrinking myself. I think many of you have too. But enough. Enough of this. Because you are BOLD and BIG in ways you probably don’t even realize yet. You are WORTHY of every inch of space you take up, whether that’s physically or mentally or emotionally. You have every RIGHT to be EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE, and no one should make you feel otherwise. Your voice MATTERS. Your FEELINGS matter. And your body? Brave, wonderful, daring girl, your body does not EVER have to SHRINK or CHANGE to make someone else feel more bigger, better. Their comfort is not your concern. Your OWN health and happiness, on the other hand, very much is. x Quote and design inspired by @senstylable Styling @ria.e.johnson . . . #feminist #senstyle #normalizenormalbodies
