Since I was a teen, I felt so much pressure to live up to the images of women
I saw online, on TV, movies, and in magazines.

It made me feel like I wasn't good enough and that I needed to change the way I looked.

Social media was the worst. I'd always compare myself to other girls, even my friends.

If my photo didn't get as much attention as someone else's I felt like I wasn't good enough.

Over time, I found there's a few things that help me when I'm feeling stressed about my body.

I question what I see in the media and remind myself it doesn't reflect real life.

I do the things that make me feel good. Mindfulness helps me sit
with my thoughts and feelings and to remember that they are just thoughts - they don't define me.

At the end of the day, the most important thing is knowing that anyone who loves you appreciates
you for the incredible person you are, just as you are.
