“The words I am are powerful because whatever you follow it up with has the power to make or break you. Your body hears it. Your mind hears it. You feel it. As an experiment, I stood in front of the mirror after a shower, looked at myself, and said, “I’m ugly.” Lenehan wrote in the post captioned, “A healthy dose of reality and used hashtags #igvsreality #selflove and #realness.

“I instantly felt sad & it became so much easier to start picking out the things I didn’t love. The negative thoughts were almost instantaneous. But then I closed my eyes, refreshed my mind, opened my eyes again, and said I’m beautiful – that instantly felt better. I instantly felt kinder towards myself. I noticed I started to smile at my reflection.”
Lenehan has since urged her followers to be “kind” to themselves and their bodies.
She added that she’s aware it won’t be easy for everyone but urged people not to feel like a failure if it’s impossible to bring themselves to be kind. “Please try to remember that when you speak about yourself throughout the day (every day), your mind & body takes that in. It starts to become part of your identity.”
“The words ‘I am’ are powerful because whatever you follow it up with has the power to make or break you.”
Lenehan continued: “And not only does your body take those comments in, your friends, your family, your colleagues, your audience online does too.” The influencer insisted that she would never allow her future children to hear her say that she was ugly or gross. Instead, she would want them to hear that she feels proud of herself and is worthy. So far, the honest post has amassed likes and positive reactions.
