Nearly everybody gossips. Sometimes you won't even realise that you're doing it. The worst part is that most people actually enjoy it! They love the excitement of finding out the nitty gritty about those around them. I think Eleanor Roosevelt said it best; "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."

Most that like to gossip will probably not consider themselves as judgemental people. They'll simply see it as a harmless activity. Regardless of this, gossiping is an activity that interacts with our ego; whether we do it to judge or for a reaction, we do it to try and feel good. Gossiping is actually harmful. Every thought and word holds a powerful vibration. So, when we discuss others, we are sending a form of negative energy out into the Universe. As a result, this lowers our own vibration, creating toxic events in our lives which will reproduce ill feelings. If you've studied Ayurvedic medicine, you might also be aware that gossiping affects the solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra and most importantly, our third eye chakra; preventing us from transcending to higher vibrational states.

Nobody likes being gossiped about, so why do it yourself? Everybody is different. We are all trying our best on our path and journey - what gives you the right to judge someone else's? Social media and entertainment outlets have made it socially acceptable to gossip, even by selling us "interesting" lies. All this does however, is contribute to lower vibrational energy within us. You should also remember that gossiping doesn't define the people being talked about, only the people talking about them. It can reveal a lot about their insecurities, issues and most importantly, how they use they their time (so ineffectively).

Discussing problems and sharing information with your friends is fine when the intention doesn't stem from the ego. However, for the most part, gossiping provides a false sense of self, brings bad vibes into your energetic field and prevents us from experiencing positive things. Give it up.

"Embrace your flaws and get comfortable in your own skin. Wear your imperfections like they don't need a season to be fashionable."

When did we start becoming defined by the rest of society? Man and woman originated on this planet with no rules. We created them. We manipulated them. We fed them to others and became followers. When you work off someone else's scale to assess something that can only perceived, you are no longer free. You are held captive to someone else's ideas and a slave to their opinion.

✓ The size of your jeans doesn't define you.

✓ The colour and shade of your skin doesn't define you.

✓ That number on the scale doesn't define you.

✓ Those marks on your face don't define you.

✓ Those expectations don't define you.

✓ Those opinions don't define you.

You simply exist as a being of love and light. Your beauty is not for everyone, but that doesn't matter. It does not mean that you are less beautiful than any other human being. We seem to have created a model for beauty to measure how "good" someone looks. Yet, there is no answer to beauty that can be seen by the eye; perception differs. That's why it's a subjective reality.

Wear your imperfections perfectly. NEVER stop loving yourself. Even when you look at your arms and think that they're flabby, remember there's people out there without any arms. When you feel like you have a belly, remember that this feeling represents that you're eating comfortably, while there's others out there who are starving. See these things as blessings.

Work on yourself, for yourself. If you want to feel more comfortable in your own skin, start internally first. Show appreciation to yourself; to your flaws and imperfections. Realise that no one is perfect because "perfect" is subjective. If you then want to want to work on yourself physically and improve your health, continue to do so. However, it doesn't matter if it's Spring or Summer, Autumn or Winter... Remember, your beauty will never go out of fashion. So start wearing what our Creator has given you, with confidence.
