I always forget that you're not a huge channel, because in my mind you should be. This was so genuine it really feels like you care so deeply about everyone who sees the video, which means a lot these days. I love you for using your platform for something so important.
I love this so much. You phrased everything so correctly, I’ve also struggled to love my body for a while until i realized that my body is not only for artificial purposes, like this is the reason I am alive, my body takes care of me, I am my body. Instead of just focusing on the way i looked i focused and gave thanks to my health, physical AND mental. And turnes out, you never look as bad as you might have thought. I fully love my body now and proudly have for over a year :)
I think I’m struggling with an ED at the moment and this video made me feel really good about my body. I love all your videos and the way you speak on topics; you are a huge inspiration to me. Thank you ❤️
That sounds difficult, especially considering the way unhealthy thoughts / behaviors thrive in isolation (like during quarantine). I'm proud of you for your self-awareness and honesty, and I'm happy to hear this video helped in any way, big or small. Take care, I'll be thinking of you 💗💗
i'm going to listen to this many more times. body image for me at the moment feels a bit like an open wound, (i'm trying to overcome this) but the way you speak so reassuringly about this helps me feel less awkward and forced when i try to think more neutrally about myself. thank you 💜💜
I'm glad you found it helpful! Try to find people who talk to you (and themselves) in the way that you would like. I have, in the past, literally said aloud to myself: "would you be this discouraging to / judgmental of [insert good friend here]?" The answer is always: never! :)
very excited to listen to this. you're always so well spoken and respectful i can't wait to listen to what you have to say about this 🥰 (or about anything, but this specially)
Your videos are already amazing and soothing & now you're encouraging people to be kinder to themselves and have a more loving body image thinking ! You're such a wonderful person Mauve ❤ & your topics are always super interesting ❤
i struggle w body dysmorphia n today i had a rly bad episode of just loathin myself to the point where the thought of bein nice to myself made me cry bc i couldnt bring myself to do it cuz I believe i dont deserve it... your words are truly healing thank u so much for sharing this wisdom
As someone who is trans, its hard for me to love my body but i hope i can get there one day. Also, its lovely to hear you talk about yourself so positively! Gives me inspiration to do that for myself :)
This is such an amazing video mauve, I don’t usually have trouble with body image but this really helped change my perspective about how i describe myself
Hi Mauve. This is my favorite video of yours. I am hoping you could do a video about being respectful of our time, setting boundaries between our professional and personal lives. ❤️❤️❤️
I've never liked my body. I was overweight my whole life, lost 80lbs 10 years ago, and have consistantly gained and re-lost the same 15lbs over the last few years. I feel stupid being my age and still so self conscious. I will try to take what you say in this video to heart ❤️
I hope you don’t feel stupid! Total self-acceptance is a difficult road, especially when so much is designed to keep us doubting ourselves (marketing etc) - it’s a common and natural struggle. I think it’s amazing that you’re open to more positive ways of thinking ♥️
exactly! i’ll say i’m heavier and someone will say “no you’re not!”. it’s strange because i’m happy with my weight, this universal assumption that people don’t want to be heavy is super harmful. it’s so refreshing that you have the same mindset
muchas gracias por esto, realmente lo necesitaba y se que un monton de gente tambien. me encanta tu forma de pensar y como ves no solo a ti misma pero tambien al mundo. otra vez, muchisimas gracias.
i’m five hours late but it’s okay😅 in the past i struggled with ed and i’m better now but i still have a horrid way of seeing my body and jsut who i am. i love your videos so much you’re so genuine 🥺🥺❤️ i love your channel and i love how your talk abt real topics !! some asmrtists don’t do that but i appreciate you bringing content like this 💖💖 keep it up 😁😁😁
Thank you for sharing that. I'm really glad to hear you're better, and I hope you continue to improve at whatever pace is best for you, also whether the progress is linear or not 💗💗
Lasting change in my opinion and experience comes from love, people generally dont enjoy doing things out of hate so why not try being kind and loving to oneself?
It's like we been together for years now and everything just clicks ......then I look to my right the wife's fast asleep and I just can't be bothered anymore.special you Mauve xx you have a premium whisper like my favourite honey lol
