What should I stop doing?
Welllll….one reader told me that I need to stop smoking. Agreed.
Oh wait…I don’t smoke! If you follow me on instagram I made a joke about how I have picked up drinking wine and coffee while living in Portugal. But smoking has yet to draw me in. Ha! So this “stop” is already checked off!
The only other “stop” that I received was regarding the {M}organized Fashion posts. I truly appreciate the candid feedback and had noticed it as well based on the ranking of topic posts. So that series will not continue, which was already on my list as a big maybe for 2015. The only part about this particular feedback that I didn’t appreciate, was the reference to my body size in reference to the {M}organized Fashion posts.
First and foremost, the two things that I have been criticized for most in my life (from the teen years to present day) are my body size and my attention to detail (or what one might call organized). And I really feel, that for the most part, I’ve learned to accept these two criticisms.
But I want to be candid with you as well.
My point, if I can only get one point through on this little platform that I have, is this – STOP COMPARING.
So, please from the bottom of my heart. Love yourself, accept yourself. There can be so much negativity between women, and I just think it is so unneccessary. We should be each other cheerleaders. I’m not perfect, you’re not perfect, nobody is perfect.
When someone has a gift, talent, strength (whatever you want to call it) that maybe you don’t feel that you have, choose to compliment the person, in an encouraging way. It takes courage to encourage and when you can recognize someone else’s strength it shows your own strength! And, we should keep in our minds that we never really know the journey of another person.
Please know, I am not bothered by the “stop” request of {M}organized Fashion, just bothered that there is some comparing happening. My goal here is to help each one of you to simply be the best version of YOU! xo
