This week an increase in saturation of ads that focus on usual resolutions has appeared -- diet, activity, self improvement products. Perhaps this is the year we should be kinder to ourselves and others and just accept that we have made it this far in the pandemic and will continue forward as a community. I guess this is a resolution to be kind to self and others. Many people have added weight during the past 9 months, and clothes don't fit like they used to. Putting the extra burden of weight loss on top of everything else may add to the negative emotions. Kindness could be a sustained change and may be a better goal than short term cosmetic changes. This doesn't mean that we should ignore overall healthy behaviours, but that we focus on the larger picture.So let's work on our inner selves instead of obsession on shape and size of our outer selves.
Many song lyrics deal with body image and being kind to ourselves. I chose one of these to share today. Stay safe. Enjoy!
