Glow-Up’s Can Hurt🩷

Glow ups are not just about a quick pick me up or a new hair style. They can be but I needed far more help than that. I was very depressed and very unhealthy physically and especially mentally. I was running around with people who were not good to me, not

taking care of myself, and pushing my family away. When I went back to find old pictures of myself for this post, I cried. I could not recognize myself. I was first met with feelings of disgust but then I had to remember that I am no longer where I once was. Not only am I physically unrecognizable, I came so far mentally. I had to reach rock bottom to realize that the only person who could change me…was myself. Use this as inspiration to take a look at your life and evaluate if there are some unhealthy things that need some attention. Like I said before, this is not about cosmetics. This is about healthy, positive life transformations.🩷

... Read moreGlow-ups are often perceived as merely physical changes, but they embody profound emotional and mental transformations. Many individuals face challenges such as toxic relationships, unhealthy habits, and mental health struggles on their journey to self-improvement. Reflecting on past struggles can evoke strong emotions, but it also serves as powerful motivation for change. For those undergoing a glow-up, it's essential to recognize the multi-faceted nature of this transformation. It can include prioritizing self-care, establishing healthier relationships, and focusing on mental wellness. From losing weight and finding hobbies to establishing boundaries with negative influences, each step on this journey contributes to a holistic sense of well-being. Additionally, engaging with professional help such as therapy or consulting healthcare professionals can be crucial in addressing deeper issues like hormone regulation and substance use. Ultimately, your glow-up is about reclaiming your happiness, fostering self-love, and embracing every aspect of your journey. It’s about realizing that you deserve to feel good in your skin, both physically and mentally.
