Self confidence is something that I’ve got to work on every day. Because my body is not what I see in the media, it took me a long time to accept and love my body for what it is. That’s why I’m particularly excited about the program that the Women’s Center will be putting on today in collaboration with the MindBody Connection, the UMKC Counseling Center, Swinney Recreation Center and UMKC Health and Wellness.
Love Your Body Day is a national campaign that encourages women to disregard what the media tells us is beautiful and love our bodies for what they are. In celebration of Love Your Body Day, we are launching the I Am Enough! Photo campaign. Students, staff, and faculty can visit one of our two tables today and reject the pursuit of body ‘perfection’ and declare themselves ‘Good Enough!’
Find our tables today from 11:00-1:00 PM in the ASSC Cafeteria and from 4:00-7:00 PM in Swinney Recreation Center. Love Your Body Yoga (for free!) is also taking place today at 6:00 PM in Swinney Recreation Center.
