Business with Heartâš -The Podcast about Stories, Strategiesâšand Mindset Skills
[:en]
I know, a heavy topic… but an important one so please, read this. With your heart. Even though this is a fashion blog and will always be, I love to write about other themes too (decorating, our little one, DIY recipes, everyday highlights and also my profunditys about things). And one of those profundity themes in my blog is trying to spread ‘You Are Beautiful As You Are’ message. Why is that?
It’s because loving yourself is a lifelong commitment and by making this commitment a firm, strong, everything falls into place. I’ve learned it the hard way and because I’ve been suffering from anorexia for 10 years now(right now I’m in recovery but it’s a very long progress after hating myself for too long), loving yourself is something that I’m still learning. You can read my story HERE. I’m not ashamed (I used to be) of my disease because I believe that silence is not an option -it helps no one. Instead, openness about these things really helps and that’s the reason why I’m telling my story quite openly. Not even close all things that this disease holds inside it but I’ll tell those things that are relevant, things that may help someone and things that helps outsiders to see what this disease really is. I also believe that as a blogger, lover of fashion and something I dedicate a lot of my time to I have a responsibility and somehow also an opportunity to affect people. Because we all create beauty with our attitude, our behavior and our actions -it’s all up to us. These are the reasons why this blog fights against eating disorders and is spreading ‘You Are Beautiful As You Are’ message.
So, I didn’t need even time to think about when Vogue.it announced for all of us a challenge to become an ambassador -fighting against eating disorders and pro-ana and pro-mia websites by our blogs. That’s why I’ve created a new page called ‘Love Yourself!’ as a special section inside my blog (opening after the weekend when it’s ready). It’s a place where you’ll find relevant links and links to my relevant posts. But most of all it’s a place FOR YOU. If you’re dealing with this heavy issue or if you know somebody who is struggling with an eating disorder. It’s a place where you can ask me anything and a place where I try to help YOU. Mostly in finnish but also in english. Let me be there for YOU. Try to remember that you’re not the only one struggling with these heavy issues and you’re not fighting alone. Beside of ‘Love Yourself!’ page I’ll keep posting Love Yourself posts and spreading ‘You Are Beautiful As You Are’ message. Because “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” (Oscar Wilde) and we all owe that commitment to ourselves.
Remember that you cannot weigh beauty because all of us are perfect exactly as we are -with all our flaws and problems, there’s no need to change anything. But all we need to change is the thought that we have to change. You can never be truly happy about yourself if you’re broken inside. Eating disorders are not beautiful and never can be. To be beautiful, you must be healthy and to be healthy you must attempt to not succumb to these illnesses. Of course, beauty is indeed a matter of taste but it can only be achieved through being healthy and happy -if beauty hurts, we’re doing it wrong.Food is not the enemy, self-hate is. You don’t need to be skinnier –you need to love yourself!
TiedÀn, jÀlleen kerran vakava aihe mutta ÀÀrimmÀisen tÀrkeÀ sellainen. Ja aihe, joka valitettavasti koskettaa liian monia ihmisiÀ ikÀÀn tai sukupuoleen katsomatta. Siksi pyydÀnkin teitÀ lukemaan tÀmÀn, sydÀmellÀnne. Vaikka haluan blogini olevan ennen kaikkea muotiblogi ja sitÀ se tulee aina olemaankin, niin olen ottanut myös omanlaiseni linjan jakaa kanssanne muitakin teemoja silti sÀilyttÀen muotipainoitteisuuden blogissani (muut teemat liittyvÀt sisÀllÀni asustavaan sisustuskÀrpÀseen, tee-se-itse meininkiin, meidÀn pikkuiseemme, arjen tÀhtihetkiin ja syvÀllisempÀÀn jurinaani). MitÀ suluissa viimeksi mainitsemaani asiaan tulee, niin yksi niistÀ syvÀllisimmistÀ jurinoistani liittyy yritykseeni takoa kaikkien kalloon se fakta, ettÀ jokainen meistÀ kelpaa juurikin sellaisena kuin on ja kaikki ovat omalla tavallaan ÀÀrimmÀisen kauniita. ItsensÀ hyvÀksyminen ja rakastaminen ovat viestejÀ, joita haluan vÀlittÀÀ bloginikin avulla etehepÀin. Miksi?
Koska itsensÀ rakastaminen on elÀmÀnmittainen prosessi ikiliikkujan tavoin -ja ennen kaikkea asia, joka toimii ainoana avaimena sille, ettÀ kaikki palat loksahtavat kohdalleen. MÀ itse jouduin oppimaan sen kantapÀÀn kautta ja koska mÀ sairastan anoreksiaa kymmenettÀ vuotta(tÀllÀ hetkellÀ alkutaipaleella parantumisessani, joka vaatii vuosien kivistÀ työtÀ), niin itseni rakastaminen ja hyvÀksyminen ovat asioita, joita olen vasta opettelemassa. PÀÀset lukemaan tarinani tÀstÀ.
Olen saanut niin kiitosta kuin huutoakin siitÀ, ettÀ puhun sairaudestani julkisesti -joidenkin mielestÀ se on hÀpeÀllinen, yksityinen asia kun taas jotkut ajattelevat asiasta samalla tavalla kuin mitÀ mÀ itsekin: vaikeneminen ei auta ketÀÀn vaikka asia yksityinen onkin. Vaikenemisen sijaan rohkeus auttaa muitakin olemaan rohkeampia, avoimempia, joka taas ainakin omalla kohdallani on ollut iso avain edistymiseni kannalta. En enÀÀ hÀpeÀ sairauttani ja uskallan sanoa sen ÀÀneen sillÀ hÀpeÀminen ei auta mitÀÀn -se on aikalailla sama asia, kuin kieltÀisin pitkÀn ajanjakson omasta historiastani sillÀ sairauteni on valitettavasti nÀytellyt yhtÀ pÀÀosista omassa elÀmÀnkerrassani. On tullut myös vastaan heitÀkin, jotka ovat hÀikÀilemÀttömÀsti kÀyttÀneet sairauttani aseenaan -niin lÀheisimmillenikin kuin ihan itsellenikin-, johon en voi kuin todeta, ettÀ kenties hekin joku pÀivÀ aikuistuvat (ja mainittakoon, ettÀ nÀmÀ kyseiset henkilöt ovat pÀÀpiirteittÀin olleet Àitini kanssa samaa ikÀluokkaa, mikÀ taas lienee osoitus siitÀ, ettÀ ikÀvÀ kyllÀ kaikkia ei elÀmÀ tule koskaan kasvattamaankaan). Voin myös todeta sen, ettÀ koen olevani ihmisenÀ eheÀmpi kuin tuolle tasolle alentuvat ihmiset -vaikeudet kun ovat se ainoa tapa kasvattaa sitÀ henkistÀkin pÀÀomaansa- ja mikÀli joku on pÀÀttÀnyt jatkossakin kÀyttÀÀ sairauttani aseenaan joko suoraan minulle tai vasten lÀheisteni kasvoja, niin be my guest -se kun on yksi niistÀ aseista, joilla minÀ tulen voittamaan.
Vaikka julkisesti tuonkin sairauttani esiin, niin tulee olemaan aina enemmÀn asioita, joita en tule koskaan julkisesti kertomaan sairaudestani ja kamppailustani koska on niin paljon asioita, jotka ovat ÀÀrimmÀisen yksityisiÀ -sen sijaan tulen kertomaan ne olennaisimmat asiat, joista saattaa olla apua kanssasairastajille sekÀ asioita, jotka auttaisivat ulkopuolisiakin nÀkemÀÀn paremmin sairastavan pÀÀn sisÀlle. Jonkun silmissÀ saatan kertoa kaiken mutta uskoisin, ettÀ vÀhintÀÀnkin kanssasairastajani tietÀvÀt, ettÀ reippaasti yli puolet tarinasta jÀÀ pimentoon niiden liiallisen yksityisyyden takia -asioita, jotka vain ne kaikista lÀheisimmÀt tietÀvÀt.
TÀmÀn asian tiimoilta mulla onkin ilo julistaa erÀs asia; Fashion Poetry on liittynyt syösmihÀiriövastaiseen taistoon yhdessÀ Vogue Italian kanssa. Jos tÀmÀ taisto on sullekin sydÀmen asia, niin liity ihmeessÀ sanansaattajiin mukaan (ohjeistus Vogue Italian nettisaitilla)!
Ja sanansaattajana olen myös luonut blogiini uuden sivun (avajaiset viikonlopun jÀlkimainingeissa jahka saan sen tÀssÀ arjenmyllerryksessÀ valmihiksi!): Love Yourself! (Rakasta itseÀsi!), joka tulee toimimaan erityisenÀ kanavana blogissani. Se on paikka, josta tulet löytÀmÀhÀn oleelliset linkitykset eri sivustoille sekÀ linkit tÀtÀ aihetta kÀsitteleviin postauksiini.
Mutta ennen kaikkea se tulee olemaan paikka juurikin SUA varten! Jos olet yksi niistĂ€ kanssasisaristani/veljistĂ€ni tai jos joku lĂ€heisesi on. Se tulee olemahan paikka, jossa mĂ€ yritĂ€n auttaa SUA ja vastailla kysymyksiisi. EnimmĂ€kseen Ă€idinkielellĂ€ni mutta jonkin verran myös englanniksikin. Anna mun olla tÀÀllĂ€ SUA varten. YritĂ€ myös muistaa, ettet ole ainoa tĂ€llĂ€isten ongelmien kanssa etkĂ€ tosiaankaan taistele yksinĂ€si. Love Yourself!-sivun ohella jatkan aihepiiriin liittyvien postauksien tekoa ja ‘Kelpaat juuri sellaisena kuin mitĂ€ olet’-viestin vĂ€littĂ€mistĂ€. Koska itsensĂ€ rakastaminen on alku elĂ€mĂ€nmittaiselle rakkaussuhteelle (Oscar Wilde) ja meistĂ€ kaikki ovat velkaa sen itselleen-olemaan itsensĂ€ kanssa parhaita ystĂ€viĂ€.
Muista, ettÀ kauneus ei ole puntaroitavissa sillÀ meistÀ jokainen on tÀydellisen kaunis/komea juurikin sellaisena kuin on -kaikkine (kauneus)virheinemme ja ongelminemme eikÀ kenellekÀÀn ole tarvetta muuttaa yhtÀÀn mitÀÀn. Sen sijaan ainut asia, jonka tulisi muuttua on se, ettÀ koemme, ettÀ on jotain muutettavaa. ItseensÀ ei koskaan kykene olemaan tyytyvÀinen, jos on sisÀltÀ rikki. SyömishÀiriöt eivÀt ole kaunista katseltavaa eivÀtkÀ tule koskaan olemaankaan. Ollaksemme kauniita, meidÀn tulee olla terveitÀ ja ettÀ pysyisimme terveinÀ, niin meidÀn on pysyttÀvÀ erossa itsensÀ satuttamisesta. Kauneushan on aina katsojan silmissÀ mutta sitÀ ei kyetÀ saavuttamaan ilman terveyttÀ ja onnellisuutta -jos kauneus sattuu, niin teemme sen vÀÀrin. Ruoka ei ole vihollinen mutta itseviha on. Sulla ei ole tarvetta olla laihempi mutta sulla on velvollisuus rakastaa itseÀsi!
A 31-years-old serial entrepreneur, hopeless life-romantic and three-time cancer survivor. I'm living in Finland, drinking too much green tea and enjoying life to the fullest with my best friend aka Hubby and our miraculous fifth-grader.
I'm a marketing nerd and an university dropout turned into a successful serialpreneur with my nearly 17 years of experience (yep, don't let my age fool you!). My greatest passion and expertise in life&biz is to turn impossible situations into possible, empower dreamers&doers, like you, to love the life they live and turn your passion into a paycheck -(without it taking over their life.)
Before we met, I felt like âOh, Iâll do this and that when Iâve got time.â But after we met, Iâve got so much ideas from you and Iâve been coming back to your website and to your Instagram so many times. I am thankful our paths have crossed and I canât wait our next meeting. â€ïžâ
"Mira, you made me speechless -in a good way. I feel like youâre the flow, you buust me up and take me forward.
CAMILLA - reader since day 1, TWENTY-SOMETHING
And then suddenly you come along and I notice how I think to myself, "Hey Camilla, you're never alone with your feelings and thoughts. â€ïž"
"Mira, I just love how you share your vulnerability here on social media. Because, to be honest, sometimes I notice how I'm dwelling on that feeling like I'm all alone.
Your crisp and clear advices really help me to keep going forward. I felt like giving up, but with your practical advices I have succeed in doing my businesses's websites in just a ONE week. Launching my website is all I've got left to do. I strongly recommend Mira's services as a start-up entrepreneur.
"Mira, your business coaching call was very useful. It clarified my services and I got new perspectives on which way to go from now on.
camilla - reader since day 1, twenty-something
Then you came to my mind and I think to myself what would Mira say. I imagined you would say something like "Just breathe, my friend. And start working that love towards your lovely self." Then I calmed down. And NOW you've published this gorgeous photo of you in jeans and bras with thoughts about self-love. đđ I'm not sure is there some kind of power above us today that sends my thoughts forward or what -I really don't know. But I felt like telling you. Mira, you are lovely. â€ïžâ
"For real Mira, when I saw your newest post on my IG feed, my eyes misted over. Just couple hours earlier I was so anxious that I felt anxious enough to disappearing back to those scary bulimic times.
MARI - chronic illness warrior, 32 YEARS OLD
Thank you so much for that! It's amazing how our dreams help us making it through tough times. đđœ"
"Mira, I read your story frequently. Because you and your story inspire me to keep doing my thing. đ„°
Elisa Kallokoski - BURLESQUE ARTIST
Basically, practical help and advices. A roadmap where to start and which steps to follow in order to get forward. My own thoughts were (and from time to time still are) a pretty buzzy, so I needed someone to get the hang of my thoughts. And Mira, you really did that. Our coaching call take of smoothly and vigorous, without feeling too cold. I felt like Mira really wanted to help precisely me. Chatting with Mira felt so natural that I got a brand new information, that doesn't read in any business guides, without even noticing it.
"I strongly recommend Mira's services -even in that point where you wonder do you even have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. I needed someone who would kick my ass and advices that I wouldn't get any other trainings.
