All in Good Health

In many ‘Spaghetti Western’ films, a broad sub-genre of American Western films that emerged during the 1960s in the midst of Sergio Leone’s film-making success, many of the vuglar roles Native Americans were hired to act in forced them into offensive portrayals with little attention paid to authenticity, with emphasis only placed on painting them as “simple savages.” As a result, many American filmmakers paid little attention to actually translating the indigenous languages for what they were saying on screen. As a result, many actors were able to say what they really felt.

it’s on netflix right now for anyone that wants to catch it

This is such a good documentary, guys. I try and convince all my students to watch it. It was made by Neil Diamond, a Cree filmmaker, and it’s an utterly fascinating look at portrayals of indigenous peoples in North American cinema.

Sort Me Out, Jesus - Lies Young Women Believe

In our mess, we need Jesus.

In your emotional day, when feelings are smacking you from the right and then from the left, ask Jesus to sort you out.

Because only He can peel away our layers, show us truth, heal our hurts, and satisfy our souls.

In your mercy and your grace and your love, sort us out, Jesus.

“And the LORD will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail” (Isaiah 58:11).

seeing vigorous joggers at 6 AM: okay we get it

[humansofnewyork]

“I was first exposed to ballet at the age of seven when a traveling company came to my church in North Carolina. By the time I was eleven I was practicing six days a week. It became my all-consuming monastic devotion. I eventually made it to the New York City Ballet. I’ve always seen ballet as my way of serving God. I think it’s what God has called me to do. You can call it frivolous, or superficial. But you can stretch that argument to infinity. Why do we have painting? Why do we have architecture? I think it’s all a form of worship. In a secular age the theater becomes the cathedral. There can be such a lack of empathy and collaboration in this world. But in the theater we see beauty and order and harmony modeled for us– two hours at a time. And it took a lot of sacrifice to make that possible.“

[fitnika]

How do I just genuinely be happy with yourself and your life? I don't know how to stop the comparisons, stop the negativity, stop the self hatred..

It’s definitely a process and a choice you have to make every single day. You wont go from having a negative mindset and disliking yourself to being a positive ray of sunshine and a self-love master overnight. You won’t wake up one morning and have your entire life changed, because the process and journey to self love isn’t external, it’s 100% internal.

My advice:

1. Do something every single day that makes you happy and is going to make you a more positive person. Whether that be walking a dog, playing with a cat (or any animal for that matter), playing with babies or toddlers or kiddos, going on a walk, taking a hike, drawing, painting, creating anything, cooking, baking, singing, dancing, snuggling in bed, going on a long drive, etc. Do anything that is going to bring you happiness and focus on that happiness.

2. When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts about a situation or a person, try to combat it with a positive thought. For example, if you’re thinking “I don’t have abs so I suck”, think “I am a great friend” or “I am really intelligent” - focus on the things you like about yourself and stop hating yourself for things that don’t make you “perfect”

3. Tell yourself, every single day, three things that you love about yourself. It can be physical, mental, emotional, etc. self affirmations seem silly but hearing yourself express love to yourself daily makes a world of a difference.

4. Realize that other people are not your competition and you are uniquely YOU. No one on this earth has your story, so embrace it, own it, shout it from the rooftops. You are special. You are unique. There is no use in comparing your uniqueness to anyone elses because you will never be anyone else and no one else will ever be you.

5. Understand that shitty things happen. To you, to your family, to your friends, and to people who will never know. Shitty things don’t mean you have a shitty life or you are a shitty person, it just means that you were given a challenge and it’s up to you to decide whether you want to get through it on top, or whether you want to dwell in your misery. (hint: dont dwell in your own misery)

6. Treat yourself as if you were 5 year old you. Would you call your 5 year old self fat, ugly, stupid, useless, or compare her to other 5 year olds? Of course you wouldn’t because no one should speak to a child like that. You are still that child, that child is still somewhere within you. Be kind to it, nurture it, show it so much love that it overwhelms you.

7. Crummy days will happen. You may be feeling fabulous on this journey of loving yourself for a week and then you feel like crap, and that’s okay! It doesn’t mean you’re a failure or that you can’t get through this, all it means is that you’re a human being. We all have moments of weakness and times where we can’t handle a single thing life throws at us. Love yourself enough to recognize this and once that day or moment is over, get right back up.

8. Surround yourself with people who are kind, generous, caring and filled with love. There is nothing worse than keeping toxic people in your life. If someone does not bring you absolute joy, you are in no way obligated to keep them in you life. Life is so incredibly short and there is no point in surrounding yourself with individuals who will only pull you down. Find those who will lift you up and challenge you to be a better person each and every day.
