Morgan Mikenas, la entrenadora fitness que dejó de depilarse por un año

Existen muchos estereotipos que indican que las mujeres deben lucir bellas y a eso se suma que no deben tener vello corporal, excepto en la cabeza. Aunque, muchos están en contra de esto.

Por ello, la bloguera Morgan Mikenas decidió mostrar a todos que uno se puede amar y aceptar su belleza natural. En un vídeo de Youtube, Morgan explica por qué decidió hacer esto. Este vídeo ya tiene más de 900,000 reproducciones y en Instagram se puede ver las fotografías que publica la bloguera fitness.

Morgan explica que “el objetivo de este vídeo no es humillar a las personas que se depilan”. Ella “sólo quiere hablar sobre cómo le ha ayudado a sentirse más cómoda con ella misma y que quizás puede servir de inspiración a los demás para que hagan algo que les ayude a ganar confianza con ellos mismos”.

«There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.»~Steve Maraboli ?✨ Not just woman, but everyone! Imagine if everyone just decided that today was the day they loved themselves and embraced every part of them selves. Accepting and loving your body and your «flaws» because you know they are what makes you who you are. If you are focused on being true to yourself in every moment, you are less concerned what others think, which will lead to peace of mind. When you have nothing to hide and you can freely be yourself, there is a profound peace/confidence you will emanate to the world that will inspire others. ✨???I also just posted a new YouTube video on why I don’t shave my body hair and how it helped me(link in bio)☺ #bodypositive #spreadlove #behappy #namaste #hairywomen #healing #healthylifestyle #selfcare #loveyourself #beyourself #bethechange #divine #inspireothers #inspirationalquotes #positivity #goodvibesonly #lifeisbeautiful #hairy #gratitude #weareone #higherconsciousness #freespirit #empowerment #smile #feelgood

Según Morgan, en el vídeo ella explica que cuando tenía 12 años, algunos compañeros de su escuela se burlaron de ella en una clase de Educación Física por no tener piernas depiladas. Entonces, le pidió a su mamá que le enseñara y allí empezó todo.

You don’t realize how far you’ve come until you look back at where it all started. The picture on the left was 2 years ago before I started getting into bodybuilding.. I was unhappy with many aspects of my life, mentally and physically.. I decided it was time for change… and never looked back. The picture on the right is me currently.. the same bikini, but happier/healthier/hairier me:) I am a completely new person inside and out, and I could not be more proud of myself.☺? Gaining muscle takes time, discipline, dedication, patience, and most of all consistency. Your are not going to see instant results and it’s not going to happen overnight.. It is a long process.. BUT if you keep with it you can achieve anything you set your mind to!??#fitness #fitnessjourney #namaste #spreadlove #change #abs #dedication #challenge #healthylifestyle #healthy #happy #consistency #bodypositive #goals #positivity #inspiration #bethechange #calisthenics #hairywomen #fitnessmotivation #getfit #loveyourself #transformation #bodybuilding #inspireothers #dreambig #fuzzy #bodyhairdontcare

La bloguera indica que dejó de depilarse porque perdía mucho tiempo. Ahora le encanta su cabello, su vello corporal, y “ama ser la versión más natural y humana de ella misma”.

This is my beautiful friend @earthhands_ What she does with her social media is something I aspire to be/do with mine as well:) She is an artist of all kinds and is one of the most kindest/genuine humans I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with. Her words and actions inspire me to be a better person everyday!:) Check her out!??? «M Y D E A R E S T Y O U ✨One of my goals for this platform was for it to be completely honest and raw. I truly believe that we need more of that in this world. We need the good and the bad. The light and the dark. And the path in between. Last night there was this buildup in my heart, a bit from the chilly weather, a bit from my exhaustion from the day and a bit from some judgements I had of myself. It was a pretty amazing journey however, because even at the moment when the sadness began, I recognized it there and had immediate compassion for it. I was completely with it, and felt every part of it. Whereas in the past, I would have shoved it away and distracted myself, or if I didn’t do that and actually let myself feel it, I would have judged and ridiculed myself and it would have turned into a downwards spiral. When I finally broke down (in the arms of a beloved dear human), I freed myself of all thoughts rooted in fear. I became one with the present again and became one with what WAS instead of what WASN’T. It is important that we are our number one fan and love ourselves unconditionally, even when we are feeling down. This is when we need our own love the most. Remember that your mental and emotional health are so incredibly important, and they deserve your love and attention. When we feel our pains, that is where we truly grow the most. Reflecting on how far you’ve come boosts self-confidence and gives you courage. Pay ode to the beauty and light of your being, always. Much love to you all, beautiful people.» #spreadlove #positivity #inspireothers #bethechange #beautiful #unity #inspiration #goodvibesonly #wordsofwisdom #word #goddess #bodyhairdontcare #bodypositive #weareone #onelove #selfcare #mindfulness #smile
