Learn To Love Yourself
Tao Wellness

As the holiday for giving thanks rolls around I want to share a poem celebrating your natural self.

I myself have never been one for total self-love, I have my bad days everyone does. You should love who you are, you should celebrate who you are and have no qualms or shame about it.

You should also learn to be thankful for the skin you are in, you only have one body and you should not mistreat it, ever.

Being beautiful is as easy as being yourself, don't change or alter yourself in anyway for someone else.

Beauty is so much more than appearance.

The width of our waist,

The thickness of our thighs,

The shade of our skin,

The labels placed upon us by everyone,

Including ourselves.

None of this should matter,

but it is deemed so important by the world around us.

The mass of our brains that carry us to our futures,

The size of our hearts, beating in unison,

The unseen traits that make a person who they truly are.

These are what matter,

These are what should be important.

And if you continuously search for flaws,

You will miss the greatest of them all.

Stop wasting time hating yourself and take sometime to learn to love yourself.

Happy Holidays, remember to give thanks to those around you and yourself.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
