Body Positivity

-
Good morning coffee lovers, I have been drinking cappuccinos these days because my regular caramel macchiatos are not like they used to be. Do you deal with this? Obsessed with a drink and as time went by the drink is not the same? Your body just doesn't want it anymore. sigh, but speaking about bodies let's talk about Body positivity. Today I want to talk about our bodies. We all take time to somehow find something wrong with ourselves. Even if we are 100% completely beautiful. We all see these flaws that others do not see in us. I saw this interview with the daily show, one of my favorite people to see and listen to because of his realness (Trevor Noah) he was interviewing Lizzo (American singer ,rapper ,songwriter and believe it or not flutist.) Her name has been going around like a coffee lover with one cup of coffee available to them.
She talked about how she is not trying to be an icon but because she loves her body the way it is. As she should. We should all love our bodies. Life always has a view of what we should look like and most of the time they want a model.we can not all be models but we can love the skin we are in. We should be able to look in the mirror and not care about other people's views of you. I admit I am not a small beautiful model but I am a positive person who did take me a long time to love myself. Even compliments were hard for me. It took me to say why am I so worried about what others think when I should be worried about what I think about me.Everyday I try to be a bit more positive until I feel more comfortable. If you feel like you cannot love yourself then thing you can do is: 1)Acknowledge body-checking- Realize that you keep trying to find flaws and just stop it and think about all the good stuff. 2) Do silly dances naked in your body so you feel comfortable. Yes seems awkward at first but you will thank me. 3) Write little notes (sticky notes) that say something positive about yourself. Put by your bed your mirror,wherever you are most of the time. Even in your office. 4) Seek help. Find someone you can talk to.. rely on and if you feel distrugued with someone you know find a counselor that can keep you positive. I am pretty sure you can find someone for your needs online these days. I know there are those who try to help if there are health issues and you are at risk but then there are others that just think if you are not a skinny model that you do not have what it takes to walk around and feel beautiful. I think if we do not love ourselves, our skin our minds then trying to find it elsewhere.
It's bad enough Lizzo will get judged because of her skin but also she had to be judged for a plus-sized woman. The world can be cruel and instead of lifting each other we bring each other down like everything is a competition. This is exactly what's wrong with the world. I just hope that no matter who you are that you think about what you say before you say it. I also want to say your body's you and be as possible as you and be because you should be able to love yourself fully. As for you, Lizzo, please keep being you because you are beautiful. Stay Positive! Until our next conversation, see you Latte. #lizzo #rapartist #queens #bodypositivity #bloggers #woman #bodies #bepositive

Recovering addicts, Can they really be helped?

Hello Coffee Lovers, Today, I was drinking my coffee. As I was enjoying my drink, watching a show called (The Resident), I am pretty sure many people are familiar with it. I found it while strolling on Netflix.Of course, it's no Grey’s Anatomy. Somehow it had a way of catching my attention. I am discussing this with you because a few of the episodes were about being addicted to one thing or another and trying to help them. I feel as though anyone happened to know one or even has been through it yourself. Today, of course, it may be a bit easier to get help with the many programs they have now. They also have online help and video chatting.Now, my question to all my readers is, do you believe that those who are addicted to drugs or drinking. Can they be helped? The statistics show that eventually, they will fall off the wagon.I must admit that many people try really hard to change,but the percentage of Relapse is Between 40% and 60%. When you think about those scary static ...

Hello coffee Lovers, The conversation we are about to have is very deep and very informational at least to me and I hope to you readers as well. I suggest you grab your coffee closer to your lattes steamer and espresso shots that will keep you going through this. Get ready and let's talk about what most of the world has. Anxiety. Everyone is scared of this word and to be honest ist so natural these days. I have my own story to tell how I didn't know I had it until my younger 20’s. I was stressed out about my job. I just quit it because he was a true womanizer. I couldn't take any more of it. I quit and while thinking about it on the way out I thought about my past and I thought of things I could have been, I got in my head so much by the time I got home my heart was beating right out of my chest. I felt light headed and I couldn't breathe. My heart started to beat faster and i felt myself locking up.Not being able to move.I was on my bed just thinking thats it. I a...

Hello coffee lovers, I have been drinking coffee for a very long time, Since maybe the age of 10. Knowing that I can drink coffee and still think about my past, we know that the past has a way of alway being in the back of your mind. Like I remember drinking coffee at 6am in the morning with my stepmom and playing Mario Bros. Some memories go away or you forget but some memories of the past you cannot forget. Let's Talk about victims in young ages who can’t forget their past even if they wanted to. Abuse is a word that carries a huge amount of weight, yet it's one of the many people who struggle to fully understand until they've experienced it firsthand. For too long , I kept my story hidden, wrapped in a blanket of shame,fear and uncertainty but today ,I'm breaking my silence. This is my journey from victim to a survivor ,and I hope that by sharing my story,others who have faced similar struggles will find the strength to speak out and seek help. Abuse can take m...
