We consume so much - words and pictures, podcast, emails, social media, marketing. It’s too much, but I wonder if it’s only too much because it’s so narrow.
So much of what we see is upholding a single narrative, a societal standard which we’re either supposed to be constantly striving for or measuring ourselves against.
What if the words and pictures we saw day in and day out didn’t echo the same things over and over again?
What if they showed us lots of different ways to live and live well?
In our homes, our yards, our common spaces, our bodies.
Would that allow us to shift our expectations? Thus easing the burden of judgement we carry (it’s a heavy load for ourselves and others) & to embrace differences between all of us as the norm instead of the exception?
Body sessions are always an opportunity for me to reflect on what we see as beautiful & how we love ourself in spite of the world’s expectations.
