Beautiful You
Trade Paperback
A Daily Guide to Radical Self-Acceptance
Every day, American women and girls are besieged by images and messages that suggest their beauty is inadequate,inflicting immeasurable harm upon their confidence and sense of wellbeing. In Beautiful You , author Rosie Molinary,in no uncertain terms,encourages women, whatever their size, shape, and colour, to work toward feeling wonderful about themselves despite today's media-saturated culture. Drawing on self-awareness, creativity, and mind-body connections, Beautiful You incorporates practical techniques into a 365-day action plan that empowers women to regain a healthy self-image, shore up self-confidence, reframe and break undermining habits of self-criticism, and champion their own emotional and physical wellbeing. Through accessible, doable daily actions, women and girls are encouraged to manifest a healthy outlook on life,teaching them to live large, and starting them on the path to learning to love themselves and others. Molinary steers clear of the florid affirmations and daily meditations often utilized by books geared toward personal growth, and instead delivers a hip, modern guide of inspirational thought that keeps pace with the times.
