Yesterday, I posted a poll in my Instagram story asking if anyone else struggles with their relationship between exercise šš¼ and body image. 100% of people voted yes.
Wow. I canāt say Iām surprised, which makes me super sad for the state of our world š and society.
Can we just take today to focus on to loving ourselves, our bodies, and wherever we are in our journey?
Give yourself a hug!

Got another cognitive distortion for you today: The Fallacy of Fairness.
Who heard āLife isnāt fairā from their parents as kids? šš¼āāļø Sometimes this is a hard concept to remember as an adult.
If you spend your life judging fairness and unfairness, youāre bound to have a bad time. If youāre always measuring your life against othersā š, believing this Fallacy of Fairness is probably getting in the way of you working for and achieving what you want out of life.
Life isnāt fairā things donāt always work out in your favor. Itās up to you to change your perspective!
I think itās important to mention that unfairness in regards to your or othersā experiences of systemic oppression (discrimination based on gender, race, sexuality, capital, immigration status, ability, size, mental or physical illness, etc) is a VERY REAL and VERY VALID experience of injustice. Societal oppression is real and worth questioning and fighting against. This fallacy in no way means to demean or invalidate that fight!
