Self-love is a radical act of rebellion – Daily Dose of Dawn at dawn #55

Self-love is a radical act of rebellion in a world that profits from your fears and doubts.

I saw a question posted on social media… what industries would be the first to collapse if no one lied? Unsurprisingly, advertising is one of those industries.

In case you don’t already know, I’d like to take a moment and lift your veil. Even the girl in the magazine doesn’t look like the girl in the magazine. Even me, if you’re watching this – you see me dressed for the camera, napped and hydrated for working.

I did not just pop out of bed. I’m reading from a script I spent awhile writing, thinking about what I wanted to say – what message I wanted to share, what stories I wanted to include. And, my room on the other side of the camera… is a mess lol. I’m a minimalist but it’s fall in Los Angeles, which means warm clothes in the morning, summer clothes in the afternoon and warm clothes back in the evening – my floor looks like a closet barfed all over it.

Everything you see online is carefully orchestrated. Not necessarily a lie but definitely never the whole truth. Even reality TV is SCRIPTED it’s not just people riffing off each other and every character has an agenda. You can see current actors old appearances on dating shows and all kinds of reality TV – it’s a stepping stone to acting and it’s all… a show!

To love yourself ANYWAY is radical. I just got a new dental appliance. My health issues took 7 of my teeth already. I shot the first 50 doses without them! I had to hold my hand through it all. Be OK showing up with pieces of me missing. And you know what? It went fine.

One of my clients was so happy that she tried my ‘turtling’ strategy. To make the inside of your mind such a safe place to be that when you have fear that others are judging you… you pull into your own head and hold your hand through the feels. She was so excited that it worked. That’s how you get hooked lol and the more you succeed, the more you’ll realize that loving yourself through the hard stuff means you enjoy your life more!
