So much of an eating disorders strength comes from looking outward for self worth and to feel ok. This doesn't even have to be about how we feel about our body. For me it still comes back to feeling out of control in my life and feeling overwhelmed by unpredictable circumstances. I know when I'm experiencing these emotions, I will immediately look for signs outside of myself that I am loved I am worthy and I am enough. From Facebook post likes to compliments on my body and physical features or even silently comparing myself to any other female within a glance of myself, I have done it all in order to feel worthy and OK in my skin. Because if I felt OK in my skin then surely I would feel more calm and at peace with the chaos in my life, right ? Wrong. It took years to learn and embody this incredibly important truth - no matter what my body looks like life will still challenge my feelings of self-worth. It isn't from the outside in that I will weather these storms but from the inside out where I will find my true strength and ultimately my true beauty. #MotivationMonday #BodyPositive #intuitiveexercise #YouAreEnough #selfworth #StopFitspiration (at Asteya Fitness)
