Inner Critic

I saw this advert

a week or two ago.

It's South African,

so I'm unsure if there's an American version. 

Is it not utterly relateable?

I can quickly think of a list

of things I despise

about my looks and body.

I'm always trying to improve.

Improve?

Really?

I need to improve?

I joined the

100 squats a day

challenge. 

Part of the challenge is to take a picture

of yourself on Day 1

and again on Day 30. 

I deleted both pictures.

I've moved to the 

intermediate level.

Again, 

the idea is to take a picture of yourself.

I had to delete it immediately.

And as it's the middle of the night,

I am unable to take a picture

now,

but I've decided to take Dove's

advice.

I'm going to stop focusing 

on my yucks

and start concentrating on my wows!

Because, I do have some.

I've got lovely eyes,

and even though my husband would prefer I cut my hair

I love how my hair is growing long.

Every once in awhile,

I get a mani/pedi

and I have the cutest nails and toes

EVA!

And while it took me some time

to think of those,

I was able to come up with something.

Come back and see me in a month,

I'll have more positives,

and possibly even a picture.

Don't let your inner critic control you. 

What beauty do you see in yourself?
