I’ve always loved the idea of aging gracefully.
⠀
I remember admiring naturally beautiful, healthy, wise, confident, radiant older women as a kid (think @yazemeenah). These ladies just had a mesmerizing grace about them, I thought to myself “I want to be like them when I’m older!”
⠀
To me, aging gracefully means:
⠀
☽ 𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚜 〰️ Accepting myself for the perfectly imperfect human being that I am. This is a moment-by-moment choice that requires effort & self-awareness.
⠀
☽ Embracing the physical body I’ve been given instead of undergoing aesthetic procedures altering the parts of myself I feel insecure about. Authentic confidence is the aim of the game.
⠀
☽ Committing to a grounding daily practice of mindfulness-based stress-management, self-𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 & gratitude.
⠀
☽ Going back to basics with lifestyle choices…there’s no substitute for: quality sleep, nutritious food, moving thy booty, stretching, stillness (meditation), nature & music healing, exercising the brain with consistent learning of new things & problem-solving, mindfulness, surrounding oneself with quality company, and making fun a top priority. #𝚜𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚒𝚌𝚒𝚝𝚢
⠀
I’d love to live in a world where aging gracefully is honored & celebrated.
⠀
Remember,
You are beautiful.
You are worthy.
You are enough by design.
Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
