Why Woman-Kind?

 

Why the hell NOT Woman-Kind, right?

I’m almost in the last year of my 20’s and I’ve had enough of women who tear each other down to build themselves up. I’m over Women talking to themselves like they’re not the most beautiful, amazing, capable, strong creatures. I’m over the culture of products and companies telling you need to be better, look better, be skinnier and all the other tag-lines that go along with making a profit off your insecurities.

YOU are WOMAN. And in my opinion … That’s an incredible thing to be.

As a Woman, be kind to yourself. As Womankind, lets be kind to eachother. Just BE kind. About yourself. To yourself. About others. To others. For others. With others. The list goes on. And on. And on. We spend so much time being self critical. Words of negativity fill the minds of girls before they become teenagers, before they grow to become Women, from others, to others, or from themselves. Can we work to change that? To change the culture of negativity to a culture of kindness?

Let’s re-teach ourselves how to see our own self through the eyes and hearts of those that love us. To look in the mirror, and see Beauty. Strength. Worthiness. Boldness. Lets grab our vulnerability and nurture it.

I’m nearly 30. It has taken me this long to love myself. To change the way I speak to myself. Change the way I see myself.

There are many things that have happened in my life so far to get me to where I am today. Not neccesarily things that I can blame for making me be self critical and self-negative (this is another issue/topic/blog all together)- but quite the opposite. So many things that have made me realise that being Woman-Kind is what i want my culture to be. It’s where I need to be, and it’s what I want to focus my energy and my life on.

I want to do it for myself. I want to do it for YOU. I want to do it for my daughter, for my husband, for my future children and most of all, I want to do it for Woman-kind.

Lets raise the bar of how we treat ourselves, speak to ourselves and nurture ourselves.
Lets raise that bar outward, of how we treat others, speak to others and nurture others.
Lets BE. Woman-Kind.
