Oooookay guys. There’s been an awful lot of concern and conversation swirling around the social media space about body positivity that past few days. The general discussion has been centred around the idea that being ‘body positive’ somehow gives people the permission to be unhealthy. When it comes right down to it, it sounds like folks are legitimately concerned that the Body Positive movement could be a threat to health and wellness (I get it… I mean if I genuinely thought that, I’d be worried too!).
Well friends, Charlie and I have some thoughts. If you have three minutes take a watch.
It’s a touch more opinionated than we typically get in this space, but it’s really freaking important. We’re talking about why Body Positivity is so dang important, and more importantly why it should absolutely NOT under any circumstances be seen a threat to health and wellness!
And a little PSA/self love reminder: if you EVER find yourself following social media accounts that make you feel small, unhappy, or aren’t encouraging you to be your best self… this is your official permission, right the heck now, to push the Unfollow button.
Because you’re made to do great things – and not one more moment deserves to be spent thinking otherwise.
