Loving your body versus accepting your body: not all of us are empowered by our bodies, no matter the size or shape. And so it follows that as well-intentioned as it is, loving our bodies can prove to be challenging, especially to those of us who already feel disabled by it. In comparison, accepting your body - the ethos behind a movement called body neutrality - simply asks that you be at peace with what you have. There is no pressure to prove yourself or validate yourself to anyone, nor any need to be overtly celebratory. You are only required to accept your body as it is: allow it to have its good days and bad days and focus on how it functions, rather than the way it looks. #picture #loveart #art #instagood #design #beautiful #picoftheday #style #photooftheday #painting #contemporaryart #photography #metime #timeforme #stressfree #treatyourself #indulge #selfcare #bath #becalm #cuddle #zeitfürmich #pause #hydration #cozy #happydays #magical
