Seeing ourselves with compassion through our cameras isn’t about taking one image of ourselves that solves it all. It is a conversation.
One that we need to choose to begin.
It is a dialogue between ourselves, our old stories and the new ones that await us.
It is inviting ourselves into (and not avoiding) moments when we get to choose the new story, even when that is vulnerable and we might come face to face with those old stories of critique. It is there that we choose compassion.
You can change the story of how you see yourself.
Because we are the narrators of our own story. While it might not feel good to realize this…we choose our stories of critique. I know, I wanted to blame it on everyone else and it kind of stung to realize how much control I had over my own critique. But the good thing is that it means we can choose a different one.
Before I started taking self-portraits I had no idea how I was going to re-write that story. How, on a daily basis was I going to be able to remind myself of that love I wanted to choose to see.
That is at the core of what the Be Your Own Beloved class will help you do. Through these playful activities (yup, changing the story can even be fun) we commit to not hiding our love away from ourselves. This class can be your guide to changing those stories.
I’m SO excited about this session of Be Your Own Beloved as I’ve got a whole new addition to the class. I’ve been working behind the scenes on creating a collection of extra resources to help you on the journey. Articles (if you’ve been wondering why I’m blogging less lately it’s cause I’ve been saving the content for the participants) as well as videos to answer your questions. Of course, as always, I am also available during class to answer technical or creative questions!

So…I have one more question for you? Are you ready to change the story of how you see yourself?
