1. “You do not need to change your body; you need to change the rules.” Naomi Wolf
Recognize that when it comes to our bodies, there are no rules.
Your body is like a fingerprint. 
Unique in size, shape and color, it carries curves and bends that cannot be replicated by any body, anywhere. 
It embraces unrepeatable patterns of freckles and lines.
Your scars are not imperfections, they tell your story.
This is your genetic blue print; one of a kind, and beautiful in all it’s authenticity.
One opinion of beauty does not have the power to discount the rest. 
There is no single beautiful body type, and therefore the confines and constraints of these so called “rules” we allow ourselves to be defined by, do not exist. 
It’s time to redefine beauty.
Time to break the rules.
Time to let them go.
It’s time to be free.

    Recognize that when it comes to our bodies, there are no rules.

    Your body is like a fingerprint. 

    Unique in size, shape and color, it carries curves and bends that cannot be replicated by any body, anywhere. 

    It embraces unrepeatable patterns of freckles and lines.

    Your scars are not imperfections, they tell your story.

    This is your genetic blue print; one of a kind, and beautiful in all it’s authenticity.

    One opinion of beauty does not have the power to discount the rest. 

    There is no single beautiful body type, and therefore the confines and constraints of these so called “rules” we allow ourselves to be defined by, do not exist. 

    It’s time to redefine beauty.

    Time to break the rules.

    Time to let them go.

    It’s time to be free.

About

My name is Daniell, and I am the creator of the Internal Acceptance Movement (I. A.M.)

    About Me

    Coping Skills

    Affirmations

    The goal of this blog is to teach self-acceptance and promote healthy body image.

    The main idea behind I. A.M. is that as human beings, we aren't defined by anything external, such as our weight, appearance, body shape, ethnicity, income, occupation, or background. Instead, it's our internal qualities--our character and attitude, our passions and dreams, our goals and morals, and the way in which we treat others--that are truly self defining.

    Whether you're battling an eating disorder, alcoholism, drug addiction, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, poor body image, or any other mental health illness, I. A.M. exists to remind you that you are NOT alone.

    You aren't alone in how you feel or in what you're going through, and you don't have to face the pain alone. I. A.M. is here to remind you that things can and will get better.
