Last night, one of my favorite movies ever was on TV, Legally Blonde. Gah! I love that movie so much. I was reminded just how much I love it when I was immediately able to quote the entire movie (practically) word for word. I might have watched it a little too much when I was younger. But hey. Elle Woods is basically my spirit animal and I am not ashamed! 

This used to be my go-to, girl-power movie! Whenever I was having a bad day and needed some cheering up, this was my movie of choice. I didn’t realize how much I was in need of some encouragement last night, until I saw it on TV. 

If you’ve never seen this movie, Elle Woods is a bright and bubbly blonde who decides to follow her ex-boyfriend to Harvard in hopes to win him back. In the process, she discovers her natural talent at being a lawyer and kicks those haters to the curb! Yeah, girl! 

Elle is a happy person. A lot of people love her, but she also has her share of haters. There are times in the movie where it gets her down, but she always overcomes the negativity. To me, it’s always so uplifting and inspiring. I feel like anyone can apply it to their lives! 

Here were my 3 takeaways while watching Legally Blonde: 

-EXERCISE! It gives you endorphins which make you happy! And happy people just don’t shoot their husbands. They just don’t! 😉 

-Some people just won’t like you and it’s OKAY! It’s their loss. Be kind and move on. 

– Don’t let anyone dull your shine. Don’t feel bad about who you are.Be who you are and be unapologetic about it. It’s not okay for you to be anything less than what you were created to be. You are you for a reason. Embrace it! 

Gah! If I would have known how enlightening this movie was going to be, I would have re-watched it awhile ago! 

If you’re in a weird place and feeling insecure about who you are, (in the words of T. Swizzle) shake it off. Be the incredible person you were created to be. If someone knocks you down, get back up. Shine on, sweet friend! Have faith in yourselves. I believe in you! 🙂 

P.S. I totally was channeling my inner Elle Woods during this session! 😉
