08 Apr BodyTalks: Tummy Tuesday!
On Tuesdays, We Talk Tummies..
At Jezebel, we celebrate you. This encompasses every facet of who you are – who WE all are. We show you ways to see yourself through the lens of unconditional love, and we understand that some days it’s easy to appreciate ourselves, and other times it can be more of a challenge.
This is where we want to flip the script and really talk about what our bodies can do for us. Honest discussions can lead to acceptance, and acceptance can open our eyes to the possibilities of love.
Tuesdays at Jezebel are all about tummies! Each week we’ll be showcasing some of our favorite images where they have a starring role. We’ll be discussing the challenges we face with an often disliked part of our bodies and hopefully turning those conversations towards ones of appreciation.
But what if I don't like my tummy?!
Hello beauties, it’s good to be back with another BodyTalks: Tummy Tuesday edition! Usually, we share quotes about the importance of being gentle with ourselves, or we chat about ways to start or maintain a journey to self-acceptance and love.
This week, we’re shaking things up a little! As a concept that still gives me trouble on occasion, we’re going to be addressing another perspective that often influences how our relationship with ourselves can fluctuate.
Today we’re talking about how others perceive us. The opinions of those around us can quickly change how our day is going. Sometimes, it’s a genuine compliment that makes us stand a little taller, or feel a little better about a task we accomplished – whether that’s professional or personal! However, there’s also the other side, where even if it’s not meant negatively, words or actions from those around us can be hurtful. Worse still is when these behaviors are intentional.
Others’ perceptions of us are often colored by their own biases, experiences, and limited understanding. These perceptions are reflections of their worldview, not an objective truth about who we are. When we internalize their opinions, we risk allowing external judgments to dictate our sense of self-worth. Jezebel is here to let you in on a little secret…
Our value is not defined by how others see us; it is rooted in our inherent dignity and the unique qualities that make us who we are! Even if someone else might not recognize our worth, it doesn’t diminish the richness we have to offer this world!
Loving our bodies is a journey
In a society that often emphasizes approval from others – whether that comes from our friends, family, boss or the most popular influencer on the internet, it’s easy to fall into the trap of seeking validation from external sources.
Living our richest, most fulfilling life means stepping into our full potential without apology. It’s about taking up the space we deserve, regardless of whether others are comfortable with it. Our right to express our ideas and pursue our passions is not contingent on anyone else’s approval.
This authenticity becomes the key to our fulfillment—because true richness lies in living a life that is ours, not one dictated by external perceptions. ♥
Are you feeling inspired by our topics? What would you like to see more of? How do you feel about your tummy!? Do you have a secret method for navigating difficult days or dealing with those who don’t have the capacity to love unconditionally?
If you want to be part of the conversation, we’d love to hear from you! Your ideas, opinions, tips, favorite affirmations and more can be featured in some of our upcoming themes and discussions, so head on over to our socials and let us know your thoughts!
