I created Alternatively Healthy to DISRUPT messages like this!! I thought the “right” way to achieve your dreams was to hustle, hustle, hustle. PAST the point of listening to your body. 😣 PAST the point of looking after your mental health. 😖 PAST the point of forgetting that there’s also this wonderful thing called “life” that’s actually meant to be enjoyed along the way... 😩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve found myself falling back into this negative trap lately. As someone who’s always had crazy big dreams, it can be hard for me to slow down, set boundaries and remember to appreciate the small moments in between the hustle.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I’m here to set the reminder for all of us this week 🙋🏼‍♀️✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🛑 Slowing down is NOT a sign of failure. Taking a break is NOT a sign of laziness. Saying that you’re struggling to “push through” is NOT a sign of weakness. 🛑
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just like how we all have our own way of achieving “healthy”... which has NOTHING to do with the way our body looks. 🙅🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all have our own way of “hustling” to achieve our dreams.. and, you guessed it, it has NOTHING to do with how productive you look on the outside. 💁🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Any of you gals think you might’ve been “hustling” too hard lately? xx

How many of you gals were at our OG event where Simone was on the panel talking about the “anxiety gods” when we all nearly got blown away by the mini cyclone?! 🤣🌪
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever since, she has been such an incredible supporter of the AH message and our little community, that I couldn’t not feature her in this body love edition of the journal 💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know that SO many of you are able to relate to her journey ➡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And who knows, maybe we’ll all be back together having our 2020 anxiety swept away by the anxiety gods very soon 🙊🤞🏼

Have you ever had the feeling that there was something “wrong” with your body..? 👇🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The 2nd lovely lady featured in this edition, and for the 2nd time in our AH journals, we have our gal @naturally_nina_ ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This time I wanted to hear Nina’s story from a slightly different perspective... How her T1 diabetes diagnosis impacted the way she saw her body, and how she was able to shift this mindset over the years 💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As always, be prepared to be inspired by Nina’s outlook on life, and how EVERYTHING changed when she learned to stop giving energy to the things that simply weren’t worth it. ➡️➡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS - please don’t EVER feel like there’s anything wrong with your beautiful bodies my gals. 💗

Introducingggg the first incredible woman to be featured in this edition of the AH self-love journal...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If there’s a journey that will inspire you, it’s that of @ellehalliwell 💗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From a go-go-go productivity focused gal in her 20’s, to realising that life was about to be turned completely upside down... When, IN THE SAME WEEK, she discovered that she had cancer AND was pregnant with her first baby. 🥺
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since hearing Elle’s story, I have become completely obsessed with her positive mindset and appreciative outlook on life 🌻 And of course, EVERYTHING she had to say about how her perspective of her body has transformed. ➡️➡️➡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you beautiful @ellehalliwell for being a part of this project and helping to inspire our girls to love themselves more at the times when it matters most 💕

I know what it’s like to feel like you have to act like you’re perfectly okay (or like you’ve “got your shit together”) 100% of the time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know how tiring it is. 😔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To worry what people might think if you tell them how you’re really feeling. To fear that they might think less of you if they realise what’s really going on in your head. 😬
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been that girl, who seemed like she always had it all together, who always looked happy on the outside, who would always say “I’m really good thanks!”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I wasn’t great. I wasn’t ok.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My whole message with AH is to empower you to speak up and say actually I’m not okay, and that’s okay. 💗 There is SO so much help out there, but you have to be willing to drop your barrier, get vulnerable, speak up and realise that your mental health is far more important than what other people “might” think.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s hard! My goodness, it’s bloody hard. But you CAN do it my girl. And you know what... it might just change your entire life. 💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check on ALL your friends. The “happy” ones, the “strong” ones, the “quiet” ones and especially the “healthy” ones, because we all know that healthy has nothing to do with what’s on the outside... and absolutely EVERYTHING to do with what’s up here 🧠💕

Oh how I wish I could go back and give some gentle words of advice to the girl in this picture... 💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I remember standing in this change room. Trying on outfits for a friend’s wedding. Something that, these days, would have me SO excited, smiling, focused on all of the love that was about to be felt!! 🥰🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not here.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was too focused on my body. How it LOOKED. What other people might think of it. So much so that I used this time in the change room to take photos of my “unworthy” body so that I could go back and critique them later... 😫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wish I could go back to this girl and say “stop focusing on what’s in the mirror my darling, and start FEELING what’s in your heart.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because once I learnt how to do that, that’s when I discovered the true meaning of beauty. 🌻
