cruisin for a boozan

Thanks!

This was a great Self-Esteem week. Thank you to all who contacted me, reblogged, tweeted, and all of that good stuff. It means a lot that people got even a teeny bit of something out of these past 7 days. Makes me feel high as a kite.

If you texted, e-mailed to say hey, or @replied me this past week, look out… hopefully something fun will be on the way soon!

I like you and I hope you like you too-

Seven Years

The cells in your body regenrate constantly. Every 7 years, you have a completely new set! Which means you’re always getting a brand new body.

So who cares what your face looks like? You’ll get a new one soon!

You’re beautiful because of what you do, what you say, what you make, and how you think. I can guarantee you no one in the history of the whole planet has ever felt truly fulfilled because of their six-pack abs. No one’s eyeliner has ever made their friends love them more.

I say this: please (especially my wonderful lady friends), try to start thinking of yourself as a soul and not a body. And here’s the kicker: it’s not easy. It’s SO not easy. But I don’t think it’s a naive request to ask “Hey, just for today, just for a few minutes: try and fight off the negative thoughts you have about your body. Your body doesn’t make you wonderful. Your body it isn’t why your friends love you. Your body isn’t why I love you.” So please, as a favor to me: give me five minutes of that. Please. Because for fucks’ sake, you all deserve happiness that isn’t inextricably linked to your appearance.

Okay, my body-image rant is complete. But it’s something I wanted to say. At least I avoided using the phrase “you are a warrior.”

Happy last day of self-esteem week!

List TIIMMMMEEE

If you were friends with yourself (hopefully you are) and someone asked you to describe why you guys are friends, what would you say?

WRITE A LIST! I BET YOUR HANDWRITING IS FULL OF CHARACTER AND PIZAZZ!!

Love,

Make Yourself Feel Good (With Science)

Hey guys- I am writing this post as I am sitting, stretching at the gym. I just did 30 minutes of spinning. I hate spinning! It fucking blows and makes my vagina bone hurt. Which I am only telling you to prove a point that I am putting my $ where my D is. That “D” is supposed to be a mouth.

At some point in the next few days, get your heart rate going. Endorphins are released, which makes you feel good in your body. It is science. I fucking hate working out. But right now I feel like Halle Berry. I WANT YOU TO FEEL THIS WAY TOO. If you already work out regularly this is not a new thing. Just in general, this is not a new thing.

You get one body for your whole life. No trade-backs! Just one, man! Make it work for you. It’s like a magic trick. Jump for 10 minutes and abracadabra, you feel pretty sweet and sexy. I already know you’re sexy so this is nothing new. But you deserve to feel sexy about yourself. Cause it’s true.

You smell great!

Self-Love Moment of the Day

Hi ladies and gentlemen! Today, in honor of self-esteem week, I’d like you to do something very simple yet very difficult:

Forgive yourself of something.

I know personally, I feel a lot of guilt and shame for many things. But we’re human, guys. We can’t be awesome citizens/students/girlfriends/boyfriends/spouses/starfish? all the time. If you ate a ton of pizza and cake tonight and you feel bad about it… forgive yourself! If you made a dumb embarrassing joke and no one laughed at it… forgive yourself! If you played a mean prank on a friend and it ended up accidentally hurting them… forgive yourself! Things happen. Sometimes we make bad judgement calls. You feel bad about it, man. So put it to rest. And if YOU won’t forgive yourself, then I will.

Love ya guys!

Self-Love Moment of the Day

Hey Self-Esteemers!

I’m a big believer in being nice to yourself. So this is something I would like for you to do today. This one’s a BIGGIE! You don’t have to do it, it’s just fun.

• Make a video of you, for you. Speak in the third person and answer these questions! (or others that you’ve made up, that’s cool too):

1) What is something that (Your Name Here) does really well?

2) What’s something (Your Name Here) did that you really admire?

3) What is something (Your Name Here) does that makes you laugh?

Then keep this video somewhere safe. Wait until the end of the week (I’ll remind you when it happens) and then just watch it again. This is silly and great.

LOVE YA, TURDS!

-Glenn

Try this, guys!

Give someone you DON’T know an out-of-the-blue compliment today. And make it more specific than “hey nice hat.” I know “give a random compliment!” isn’t an original idea, but that’s because it’s a good idea and many people like it and it’s GREAT!! Love, Glenn
