You're Incredible. Write it Down.

Self-love is a topic that is often discussed, but not always understood. Many women find it difficult to write or say things they love about themselves.

There are many reasons for this, but the main reason goes back centuries, with society being critical of women, excluding them from jobs, professions and opportunities. Can you imagine where the world would be right now if women had been allowed to vote sooner, to run for office sooner, to sit at executive boards sooner?

Women are constantly told they need to fit a particular mold or do things in accordance with traditions perceived as being the right way to act. When speaking out, women have been criticized for their choices and opinions.

As a society, we're seeing many women begin to break free from these molds and start loving themselves in the spaces where they feel belonged. Sometimes it's okay to disagree with religious norms, it's okay to break-free of toxic demands that simply don't have a place in your system of operating at your full potential.

Keep in mind, there are countless reasons to love yourself. Here are just a few:

-You have a unique voice that deserves to be heard. You've probably heard this before but nobody else is you and by default only you can represent your thoughts and opinions the way you do.

-You are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to. This may sound hard to believe but it all starts with an idea. A famous philosopher once said: "There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come".

-You are valuable and deserve to be treated with respect. In the eyes of the universe, there is no single human who deserves less than the other. Yes, this concept can often be challenged when we bring politics and socioeconomic realities into the conversation but as a matter of establishing a simple ideal-- you matter a lot and your worth should not be challenged.

-Your body is strong and capable. You do so much, every day. You work hard, you have highs and lows in your journey as a woman. You create, explore, risk a lot and still manage to keep going, all while your heart beats thousands of times per hour, your lungs bring air into the bloodstream and your mind finds ways to process it all.

You are damn incredible. Write it down. #WOWMOM #WereOneWoman
