PETIT POIS 💚 @petit_pois_burlesque #BeBodyKind #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek ✨ So much to do and so little time... Criticising my body for being too small here, too hairy there, too spotty, too misshapen, too much this and not enough that. What a waste of precious time! ⏳ Now I spend much more time loving it and, as a Burlesquer, letting everyone else love it too. There's still days where I can be critical and embarrassed, but I make sure these are short lived and replaced with the things I know for sure are beautiful about my body. My personal journey and the people I've been lucky enough to meet have helped make this possible. ❤️ However, we still live in a world where countless girls have so much shame over their bodies, which is heartbreaking. In actual fact, women have the most beautiful bodies in the world and they do sooo much. 💪 If I could wave a magic wand and lift the veil of self doubt that has been sewn onto our heads over the years, I would. I spent a lot of time tearing mine off and I can only hope that the more we share our experiences of mental health in regards to our bodies and body acceptance/ kindness/ positivity, the more mindsets will change. Our bodies are miracles after all! 🌟 . . . . . #bodykindness #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #bodypositivitymovement #mentalhealthforeveryone #BodyImageAndMentalHealth #lovetheskinyourein #inyourownskin #bodyacceptance #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #everybodyisbeautiful #burlesqueperformer #burlesquepower #nowrongwaytobeawoman #nowrongwaytohaveabody

FERRERO ROCHELLE 💃 @ferreroburlesque #bebodykind #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 🚿 ‘I am not kind to my body. . A long time ago, I started associating my weight and my looks with my worthiness to be loved. My shame is that even though I do think all bodies are beautiful, even though I champion body confidence and think every person who confronts their demons on this topic is a hero, my body is not included in that praise. 😢 So #BeBodyKind this mental health week is a difficult concept for me to contend with. How do I be 'Body Kind' when I say horrible things to it almost every day? How can I post a photo of me in all my glory and caption it #BeBodyKind, in the most blatant show of hypocrisy there's ever been? I can't. 🤭 But I can be honest. I can say #BeBodyKind is still something I'm working on. I can admit that I sometimes have anxiety attacks when I see unflattering performance photos because it makes me think I won't get any more work, or my boyfriend (of six years) will see them and leave me. I can say that I am trying so SO hard every day to view my body the way I view all these people I compare it to, that I am trying with all my might to love it the way I want to, the way I am seen by the people who love me. ❤️ I can also say that I know there are people no longer here who would love to be in my body, with its beating heart and big, beautiful lungs, so I should shut the f&*% up and stop taking it for granted. So if you are someone who is struggling to be #BeBodyKind this mental health week, know right now that there are so many of us out there who are trying to wrap our heads around it too. And that's okay. We'll get there; the first step is accepting where we’re at.’ 💝 #mentalhealthartist #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #everybodyisbeatiful #bodyacceptance #bodypositive #acceptyourbody #unconditionalselflove #selfcompassion #eatingdisorderrecovery #RecoveryIsAProcess #HealingIsNotLinear #gettingthereslowly #allbodiesareburlesquebodies #comparingtoothers #bodypositivitymovement #mentalhealthtakeswork #mentalhealthisimportant

BELLE BLUESTOCKING 💃 bringing us an original poem for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #BeBodyKind 📝 I heard she lost her footing and can now only be found looking down at the ground - She struggles to stand up straight under the weight, the colossal weight, of expectations she bestowed upon herself regardless of her mental health.... She didn’t see her body’s use, only a vessel for self-abuse, I hope it’s not too late for her to realise her mistake and show her body and mind what it means to be kind. 💝 . . . . #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #everybodyisbeatiful #bebodykindmovement #bodykindness #bodykindnessproject #selfloveandcompassion #selfcompassionjourney #mentalhealthandbodyimage #positivebodyimage #bodypositivity #yourbodyisbeautiful #everybodyisagoodbody #everybodyisaburlesquebody #mentalhealthisapriority #bodyconfidence #bodyacceptance

TOOTSIE 🌟 #BeBodyKind #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek ‘I’ve always struggled with not wearing any form of concealer, foundation or blusher. From the age of 11 people would always ask if I was ill as I was so pale and pasty. When the “no make-up selfie” went viral a few years back, I couldn’t bear to do it; the thought petrified me. At that moment I realised I couldn’t bear to be seen without something on my face even if it was just a coating of concealer even at the gym or on the beach under sunscreen. 💄 So, I’ve been working on it. I’ve found myself going to work with less makeup and feeling rather empowered by it. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE makeup and there’s nothing to be ashamed of in wearing it everyday, but it was my constant reliance on it that made me question how I actually felt about myself. Knowing that I can choose to wear it and not feel completely naked without it is quite a personal triumph. Spots, paleness and all! There’s still a lot of things that I feel insecure about, but I woke up today and thought, ‘F*$% it.’ So here I am: 7am, straight out of bed, my most vulnerable naked face, bed hair and my big chest mole poking out. (On that note, someone once suggested I got it removed... err, it’s perfectly healthy, so no thanks mate!) Thank you face and body, you’re a keeper!’ 💖 . . . #bebodykind #mentalhealthawareness #bodypositivitymovement #mentalhealthforeveryone #BodyImageAndMentalHealth #lovetheskinyourein #inyourownskin #bodyacceptance #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #everybodyisbeautiful

ROSIE VERBOSE 💋 #BeBodyKind ‘I sometimes find it really hard to be kind to my body. Not only is it the shape and size I had been taught to fear from a young age, it is also a partially-abled body. It’s in near-constant pain, 24-7. My exercise abilities are limited by my disabling chronic pain, and it often feels like bits of me are going out of their way to be, well, complete d***heads. I have had to make peace with that, and it has been hard. Some days, I still don’t do very well with it. But one thing I am stubborn about is showing myself #compassion: compassion for what my body’s been through; compassion for what my mind’s been through; compassion for all the rubbish coping mechanisms I’ve tried and clung to in my desperation. I deserve love and understanding, and the person I need it from is me. 💖 I’ve learned that our bodies don’t NEED to be “perfect” or “optimal” (highly loaded terms anyway!) in order for them to deserve our love and compassion. This is where mental health gets INTERSECTIONAL. Our right to exist and the kindness our bodies are therefore due (from others and ourselves) applies across all races, ages, abilities, genders, sexual identities, socioeconomic backgrounds, body shapes, weights, all of it. ✨ So my challenge to you? Look at your body in the mirror and tell it it’s worthy of compassion. Because it is.’ 💋 PS thank you to @whatswrongwithmyvagina for her great self-shooting tips 😂 and for the constant creative inspiration, empowerment and utter badassery she brings to my Feed! Highly recommend: a great follow for your daily mental health ❤️ . . #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #BeKindToYourBody #SelfCompassion #SelfLoveRevolution #ChronicPainBody #ChronicPainStruggles #ChronicPainLife #SpoonieSisters #SpoonieIssues #BodyPositivity #BodyPositiveMovement #BodyConfidence #BodyConfidenceRevolution #EverybodyDeservesLove #EverybodyDeservesCompassion #SelfCompassionJourney #FatandFabulous #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthIsIntersectional #IntersectionalityMatters #InvisibleIllnessAdvocate #InvisibleDisabilities #InvisibleDisabilityAwareness #NoMakeupSelfie

IDA SANGUINE 🍑 @IdaSanguine #BeBodyKind #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek ‘I guess it’s super cheesy and I do not intend to make you gag, but we all have a body. We all have blood vessels, brains, body hair (other places than our heads too), a bum (one of the best parts). I’ve always loved the human body in all its glory, so nudity hasn’t been a scary thing for me. However we do live in a time where social media makes us all think that Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner just had a fairy godmother who blessed them before the (Met) ball. ✨ When at the end of the day, humans in their natural form - now that’s beauty. Sure, you can pose your way to similar features without the procedures and injections (not to mention edit your way there)... However, I bloody love my stretch marky bum. I used to be told stretch marks were for women who’d had babies or who were getting closer to 40 (what a silly thing to tell someone...). I’m turning 24. and don’t have any children. However I have stretched myself a lot, both mentally and physically. And I like to think that my marks embodies that ❤’ . . . . #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #BodyPositivity #BodyPositivePower #BodyImageAndMentalHealth #MentalHealthIsImportant #BodyPositiveMovement #BodyAcceptance #AllBodiesAreGoodBodies #StretchMarksAndAll #StretchMarksAreBadass #StretchMarksAreBeautiful #MentalHealthIsForEveryone #BodyImageIssues #AllBodiesAreBurlesqueBodies
