(via The xoJane Real Girl Belly Project — 75 Strong, Beautiful Non-PhotoShopped Bellies | xoJane)
How often do women think positive thoughts about their bellies — or thighs or cheeks or breasts or arms? Not very often.
But Emily McCombs at XOJane is doing her part to change that with her “Real Girl Belly Project.” McCombs recently put out a call for women to send un-photoshopped pictures of their bellies to post on the site. Even better, those submitting were asked to include a few words about what they like or appreciate about that area of their bodies.
The result is a collection of 75 photos of 75 different women’s bellies and, in many cases, their stories. The variety underscores how crazy it is that all models are required to have the same flat, blank abs — no stories there — and that anyone suggests the rest of us should, too.

How to Be Your Own Therapist and Solve the More Manageable Problems in Your Life
Therapy is no doubt a helpful tool when you have problems to overcome, and one of the primary strategies therapists use to uncover and solve your issues involves identifying common behavioral patterns. But you don’t always need a therapist to recognize and correct an unhealthy pattern in your life. Here’s a primer for how you can solve the problems that don’t require professional help.
Your street-smart MBA By Harvey Mackay
- Nothing can ever beat a hungry fighter with a positive attitude. Success is 90 percent mental, and your attitude determines your altitude. Sir Winston Churchill nailed it: “I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.”
- The difference between failure and success is doing a thing nearly right and doing it exactly right. Selling is a skill, and you need practice to perfect it. Practice makes perfect … not true. You have to add one word: Perfect practice makes perfect. The Beatles performed together live 1,200 times before their 1964 breakout success!
- Confidence can do, well, … almost anything! I will beats IQ nine times out of 10. Believe in yourself or no one else will.
- Do your homework. “The Mackay 25” checklist zeroes in on how prospects communicate. Know the channel of choice. Some cell phone hounds are strictly texters. If the customer is a company, do you Google for breaking news? Are you tracking the vast resources of the Invisible Web?
- Don’t ignore intelligence. How many salespeople thumb a magazine in the reception area of a prospect company? Can you really afford to ignore that video on this firm’s new product launches? Those softball trophies are statements of company pride. The speech, pace, and apparel of employee passers-by are a case study in company culture.
- Salespeople who choke in the clutch almost always think too much. Gifted pros closing a hard-fisted negotiation will visualize the effortlessness of a letter-perfect golf swing. And stay true to yourself at your very best. You can’t play outside your range. At the Super Bowl, play the game that got you there.
- Older salespeople can’t make 50 their psychological speed limit. Surf the Net, stream videos, eyeball a lecture on the Web. When you call on Generation Y execs for your account, don’t be rattled. Your pitch is bound to compete with endless smartphone interruptions. Gen Y-ers are being their normal multi-tasking — and not infrequently — multi-millionaire selves.
- Person-to-person contacts remain the single most reliable way to build a durable sales base. If you translate that to simply cranking up the ol’ boy network, oh boy, are you in trouble. Nearly half of the undergraduate student body at tech bastion MIT is female. Don’t gender-gaffe!
- Learn the new one-two punch of sales. Master the one-on-one, in-person sales closing. But use giveaways like webinars to woo and pre-qualify prospects. Precisely designed pre-qualification programs allow you to create a range of pitch-perfect approaches to reach the total market.
- Recognize that a stint in sales is essential experience for more-and-more CEOs. In all businesses and organizations, everyone is a sales person of one sort or another. Mind the new twist to the old sales stereotype: Rather than being flamboyantly egocentric, modern sales successes are listening-driven and customer-centric. And because many products are so much more complex, more sales are the work of well-oiled team approaches.
- Mackay’s Moral: You can’t direct the wind, but you sure can shift the sails.
