Having a blog for this has become one of the most useful things as I keep having ideas and thoughts through the day.

Todays genius ideas have come because of worry from another society at Uni who teach sex ed to kids. I ve had to establish how Beautiful You is about body confidence NOT sex ed. Too often teaching people to love themselves is clumped with sex ed and it gets neglected or ignored completely. We need to stand as a society ourselves. For too long has body confidence been neglected. It needs to change.


HOWEVER

I would like to work with said society to do sessions for older students about sex and body confidence as too many people nowadays will not let their own partner see them nude. Its ridiculous.

And we have also thought to work with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender to work with confidence in coming out and accepting yourself. We again are not stepping over the sex ed but are working with confidence only!


Anyway I've gotta go start the pitch for the society.

Mini Plan

Next Step In My Mini Plan

Yes I have made a mini plan because I am currently overwhelmed/scared/happy/exciting.

So I have a to do list which I posted already:]

one of the things was a notebook prototype

inspired by this

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wreck-This-Journal-Create-Destroy/dp/1846144450/ref=pd_sim_b_3


I want to create a notebook that you fill in as you go with instructions and pictures and things.

the activities/pages will ALL be to build up body confidence so I can get to those people who aren't able to get involved with workshops etc


Anyways Im gonna go make my prototype:)

Beginnings

Okay


so this morning I decided while listening to someone complain about their body and appearance, something needs to change.

I decided today that I want to change the idea that someones body or looks define their worth.

I am scared by the number of people who believe changing their appearance will make them fill better or be liked.

I want to promote BODY LOVE.

So today I posted on facebook an idea I had for a local youth group to do a session with them to build up self esteem and confidence and I was swamped with feedback

I now have several people wanting to be involved and invites to schools across the country. This all began because I want to change the way we view our value.

I believe I have stared a ripple effect.

So I decided this is going to be BIG.

I want to eventually create an organisation that encourages the value of EVERYONE, men and women, old and young. We are all worthy of love.

So to start I am beginning a blog. I  have so many ideas and support buzzing around me right now that I thought I would keep everyone updated through this and maybe spread my idea!

Anyways for now I will crack on with my increasing list of things to do.

SPREAD THE BODY LOVE LIKE A DISEASE.

Also apologies for current plain and boring blog. I will learn how to jazz it up
