Have you heard the song “Made You Look” by Meghan Trainor? If not you should give it a listen it is pretty catchy. The song is so catchy that it has inspired a viral tik tok dance and YouTube phenomenon. So go ahead and celebrate hump day by listening to the song learning the dance and posting your videos on Tik Tok. Of course I would love to see the links in the comments of this post!
Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabana welcomed their first child into the world on Feb. 8, 2021. After her pregnancy Meghan Trainor shared how she had some body image insecurities and her therapist had her look at herself naked in the mirror for five minutes a day and compliment herself. It was this self help excercise in self love that was Meghan Trainors inspiration for “Made You Look”.
Self love is important. Self love is a state of appreciation for oneself. Exercising self love helps with, mental health, self esteem, motivation and anxiety. Self love is very important and can often be a struggle. Our society seems to be intent on giving us all kinds of reasons to engage in self loathing and few reasons to engage in self love.
Next time you find yourself struggling with self love it would do well to keep in mind some of the lyrics from “Made you Look”.
I could have my Gucci on
I could wear my Louis Vuitton
But even with nothin’ on
Bet I made you look (I made you look)
Get up every morning, tell yourself you are beautiful and gear up to win!”
