## Caption

This caption by danaemercer is everything we need right now and more. Be gentle with yourself during times of uncertainty. It may be tempting to fall into traps of self-criticism, shame, and hyper control of our bodies when we feel so out of control of our future. 

Let yourself feel your feelings without guilt. Let yourself rest. You are an imperfect being in an incredibly imperfect world.

The world feels heavy right now. There are lockdowns and there’s politics and for so many of us, there’s a reemerging obsession with our BODIES. 

It’s natural, Dr carinelkhazen recently said for my podcast. 
It’s natural. Because when life is hard,
Us humans focus on what we can control. 

Like our FOOD. 
Like our WEIGHT. 
Like the parts of our skin we can grip and pinch, finding shame in the shapes that make us. 

So today, 
If this sounds like you,
And if you’re finding yourself staring harder at your body than you were before,
Remember: 

So often when we tear ourselves down, 
The problem has very little to do with our REFLECTION,
And everything to do with what’s happening in our heads and our hearts and now, our world. 

Sometimes, often times, our GOAL WEIGHT is not our HEALTHY WEIGHT.
Especially if it comes hand-in-hand with obsession.

And any lifestyle that requires us to dream of calories, 
Or finds us opening the fridge while others sleep and eating to stop the feelings,
Is not the lifestyle we deserve. 

Even now, while the world rocks. 
Especially now. 

Instead, I hope you lean into the softness of self love,
And find ways to protect your mental health. 
Whether that’s journalling or coloring or easing back into so many zooms.

Because darling, 
Things are tough,
But you are strong. 
And powerful. 
And wonderful. 

And we are right here with you, 
Every step of the way. 

You’ve got this. 
We’ve got this.
