Motivational Monday | Being Pretty


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Merry Monday to you! The start of a new week and a chance to leave the mistakes of last behind you and to make efforts and amends to do better with this one. What a lovely thought. 




They say that as you approach your thirties you feel a great sense of calm and confidence. In my early and mid twenties I laughed at this and thought it was one of those things they say to comfort you re: ageing but lately though, I've noticed an unexpected shift in the way I view myself and I kind of like it. 

In the past, I've been my own harshest critic. I've seen pictures of myself that other people have described as beautiful and thought, 'Urgh, I look vile'. I have picked apart the tiniest details of myself. I've untagged myself in things because my eyes weren't open wide enough or my arm looked squishy. Seriously, ridiculous little things.

When Jack made my edit of the the Winter Lookbook, I didn't ask for a single change. There are bits of it that I mentally flagged to myself, but then I thought, 'that's just my face', or, 'that's just what my body looks like when it jumps off a tractor' and felt alright really. It's marvellous what rational acceptance can do for a girl.

When you think of the 7 billion people on the planet and all their blemishes or wrinkles or squashy bits or cellulite, you quickly realise you're fine. Your body is just one in 7 billion. You aren't unpleasant or ugly and you don't stand out in any negative fashion, you're just one of the crowd. I find that so comforting. 

I've always been generally confident with my appearance but lately I have felt a great sense of calm over the matter. I look at my face and see all the things I didn't love before (laughter lines, always slightly uneven eyebrows, super rosy cheeks) and just think, 'Hello little bits of me'. As I feel calmer, I feel happier. As I feel happier, I think I look better. As I look better, I feel more confident. See what's happening? A very positive cycle of loveliness. (Even if it is slightly superficial). 

For this week's homework I would urge you to look in the mirror or at a photo of yourself. Take note of all your bibbits and bobbits and have a good think. Are they really an issue or are they just little bits of yourself that do no harm and are what make you unique? 

When I think about all the most beautiful people in my life (My Mama in Heaven, my little girl, my friend Marie), I don't even for a nanosecond think about frizzy hair or blemished skin or wobbly thighs, their beauty just shines out and captivates me. Let yours do the same. 

Toodlepip!

  2. I loved this post! In some ways we are our worsest critic and we just sometimes need to step back and appreciate what we have as we are all beautiful in our own way x

  3. "Hello, little bits of me" is going to be my new affirmation to all those little things I squint and paw at in the mirror. It's so easy to forget what makes us unique, also makes us beautifully us. Aww, feeling very warm inside after reading this. Thank you for the smile, Louise :)

  4. Hi Louise, I'm feeling super crappy today as I am made up with cold and yet am sat at work just wanting to go home. In the fragile state I'm in, your post almost made me cry. I am 25 and have lost a lot of weight over the past year. I should feel amazing and so happy but instead all I keep thinking about is that next half a stone or now I'm a size 20, I can't wait until I'm a size 18. I'm always looking to my future body instead of appreciating the one I'm in currently. I will take your advice and look at what I have and find the good in it. I'm hoping as I get older I appreciate my flaws more because they are part of me and I should be proud of them. I've been blogging about my weight loss journey to basically find like minded people who are doing the same and that helps but I think it's time to appreciate Tasha as she is now. Thanks for this post Louise. It made me feel that bit better about myself even though my sinuses are so blocked I can barely keep my eyes open. Happy Monday x

  6. This is great advice. I used to hate my nose as a teenager and now I feel so dumb that I used to complain about it. My nose is my nose... it's not even that big or crooked or anything, I just used to want a smaller one! SO stupid. I love my nose now and wouldn't change it even if someone handed me money for plastic surgery!

    Fantastic and positive post to read and set me up for the rest of my week!
    Love you Louise,

  10. Louise,
    I've been going through a bit of a rough patch recently, and I must admit, this post made me tear up a bit! (I mean this in the best way!!) I am my own harshest critic. Now I am in that post-uni stage where everyone seems to have their life together and I feel more lost than ever. I find it's often difficult to just be okay with myself in a general sense, I think. So thanks for the encouraging words - you always make my day a little brighter!!
    Much love and happy Monday,
    Mara x

  11. I love you Louise :) u r always the happiest person I know, and always inspirational to me. I always pick on photos taken by others too. But as u said, it is just how I look, and it instantly made me feel better. Thanks Louise, Motivational Mondays are always my fav x

Your blogposts are always so inspiring.I'm just lying here in my bed, with a cup of tea and "Little things" of One Direction and I'm reading your blogposts, it makes me feeling very peaceful.

  28. This is such a lovely post Louise. I'm in my mid-twenties and I still sometimes look in the mirror and want to crumble into a melodramatic pile of self-pity ("My face is asymmetrical, I'll never have a flat stomach, my arms are hairy, woe is me" etc.) but I'm light years ahead of where I was when I was a teenager so I think time truly teaches you how to love and accept yourself. Sometimes we take for granted how lucky we are to simply be alive and healthy, free of the struggles and diseases that so many face, and then me moping about my eyebrows such seems silly.

    ReplyDelete
  29. You really are an inspiration. I criticise my appearance every single day, and it does bring me down so much, especially as I compare myself to others, who have probably been photoshopped like mad. From now on I will try to think, and what? who cares? why do I care? whenever I go to bring myself down when looking at my appearance. Thank you Louise xx

  31. Louise, your posts really do brighten my day and bring a smile to my face. You are beautiful, strong and wise. I read your posts and I just want to hug you for having all that confidence that you share with all of us. I always point out my flaws - I hate my nose, my weight, my hair ect. But now I'm no longer having them pointed out to me by school bullys I've learned to deal with myself. And I'll admit, the likes of you and other youtubers are the biggest part of that. So thank you Louise, so much.

  38. Awww, that's so sweet. I'm not even nearing thirty, but sometimes I feel that calm and then my mind stops and rewinds back to normal. It's difficult to think that way. But I hope I can be like that for the sake of prom pictures and stuff this year. I always worry about pictures of one-time events that you cannot do over.

  46. Louise, you're always a ray of sunshine on my Monday's with these posts! They're always so uplifting and inspiring. As a women in her early twenties I can totally see what you're talking about with laughing and thinking that being calm and confident is just a comfort thing people say to you.
    It's more comforting to know that it isn't just something people say. Your confidence and personality shines through in your winter lookbook, and it's one of my favourite videos you've made!
    Absolutely beautiful! <3

  54. Hi Lou, I'm one of your readers that is close to your age...I'm turning 30 in June! Your post today couldn't be more spot on! I am more and more comfortable with who I am the older I get. No more looking to be a certain size etc. I am just walking in the freedom of knowing I'm a beautiful woman made in God's image. I too think about the most beautiful people I've known in life and can't for the life of me figure out what they look like neck down! It is all just their spirit that impacts me the most. Love your passion and prose. xoxo

Thank you for motivating and comforting so many people, and for helping spread the true beauty of people: intelligence, wisdom, courage, confidence, and other values. I have always been quite confident with myself, my stretchmarks, my big nose, my spots, my dandruff (the list just goes on and on), because I know that if somebody's opinion is really worth anything to you, that person won't care abouthow you look. Much love, Marianne :)

  78. I became most happiest and most at peace with myself when I stopped critiquing everything about me. I would constantly wonder how other people saw me, but in reality I was creating all these insecurities within myself. Learning to love yourself and not knock yourself down is a long and difficult process, but it's so rewarding!

  88. thank you so much for this post Louise! Everyone, family or friends, keep pointing out things about myself that I need to change: I'm too loud, talk too much, have a big forehead, should get a flatter stomach than I already have- things that you would never think to say to someone but they do, to my face (including my mom)! It makes me upset because I try to accept my own flaws and "unique" bits but why can't others?

What you say is true - the most beautiful people in my life are not beautiful in what they look like, but rather in what they are like inside.

  97. Great post, although I hate the quote in the image :/ when I was severely depressed I hated how people would tell me to smile, or hearing that positive, happy, bubbly girls are the prettiest. It made me feel like shit basically and it's not a very fair statement. I'd say being a nasty shit person makes you ugly, but being unhappy does not, that is more personal because it can be so internal. You can still be a nice, kind person but not be happy. Just wanted to make that clear! The things you wrote yourself I do agree with though (maybe get rid of these quotes you post? They put me off so much but I like what you have to say). When you stop caring what you look like so much it gets easier :) cos honestly, humans are so self absorbed and probably too busy worrying about their own appearance to notice yours :) and if people do say horrible things, well they have an ugly personality and that's the truth but you what they say about you isn't true, if that makes sense! xo

  102. This is such a wonderful post, so many people can be excessively hard on themselves, even when theres nothing to worry about. I honestly think that everyone is beautiful in their own ways and if everyone stopped comparing themselves to others or putting others down (even out of jealousy) the would would be such a nicer place to live xx

  104. Beautiful message, well said, I'm in my late twenties, I've had depression, been through fad diets and a dark time with what I know now was an undiagnosed eating disorder but I've gotten to a place where I feel a lot more comfortable, not completely devoid of negative thoughts about myself but its a day to day thing. Today I saw this post and it's lifted me up, thanks Louise! xoxo

  105. What a beautiful and inspiring message to share! I'm 20 and reading this made me realize that i do critics myself even when i think of myself as someone confident with their image. So, this was a great reminder. Thank you, Louise! xx

  107. Feeling a little emotional tonight as my eldest boy turns 4 tomorrow and I'm fast approaching 30! I really am hard on myself and this has just left me feeling a little teary and I've made the decision that starting tomorrow I am going to have more self confidence and belief! I'm feeling more positive than I have in ages! Thanks Louise you have once again inspired me 💗
