Don’t feel bad if you still wish your body looked different or if your voice sounded better or if you can’t quite love yourself yet. Self-acceptance is a journey. You’re not hopeless just because others may be ahead of you. Appreciate yourself. Appreciate how far you’ve come. You’re on your way, at your own pace.
Illustrator Adam Kurtz has layered handwritten, inspirational quotes over animated gifs as part of a BuzzFeed community project. The inspirational phrases were crowdsourced in response to this twitter post asking what mottos people use to stay calm.
Kurtz commented: “When you’re stressed or anxious, nothing helps more than a stranger who thinks they know what you’re going through offering you their advice without you asking for it. Plus, putting slogans onto pictures of sunsets and waves and sh*t always makes them more meaningful.”
We like his snarky wit, that eases the saccharine sweetness of the inspiration. Check out the gifs below for a dose of calm, and let us know what mantras you use to soothe your spirit. via:designfaves
