52 selfies challenge
In a culture where many of us are constantly thinking we are too short, too fat, too this, too that, might the selfie teach us acceptance? Could growing comfortable with one’s own image create a balanced sense of pride, love and happiness? Can picture do this?
Since I can not stop the whole selfie movement, I decided to embrace it. I’ve read a lot about how taking selfies can boost your confidence, self-love, and simply make you exist in photos. Even though I am not an expert and I just took my first selfie ever – I see this as a big opportunity. A way for moms and all of us – women – to be visible in photographs! Sharing your smile (even if you staged your hair and chin angle) is always a positive thing.
At one of Sue Bryce workshops she shared how taking a selfie every week for three years changed her life as a photographer and woman. I want to do the same! I want to feel the same!
That’s why – on my private facebook group – I am staring 52 selfies challenge!
Will you join me?
I used to smile and say “Selfies are for those in their 20s” but being in front of the camera can be empowering. As a photographer I see this so often. Yes, we get older but more importantly, we are stronger, more creative and more Powerful Women than we ever have been! The “Real Women – Real Beauty” group is all about that: self-love, empowering each other and stopping the self-hate we are prone to. It’s about building Community.
If you ready for such a change – click here to join the group! All posts are private to group members only so your selfies will not be seen by non-members. Membership is only open to girls 14 and up.
- For one year we’ll be posting one selfie a week (52 selfies)
- You can join at any time and start your challenge any time – just make sure you’ll post 52 selfies there.
- Along with the picture I’ll ask you to type something NICE about yourself, something that you like when you look at that picture.
- NO trash talk or negative comments will be allowed!
If you think it’s something for you or someone that you know – feel invited!
My hope is that over the course of the year, you will fall in love or back in love with yourself. That you will get used to saying loving things to yourself, instead of criticizing yourself. That you will see the beautiful being in the mirror that the rest of the world sees when they look at you.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey.

This is an interesting challenge I have to admit I don’t take many selfies more like one a year so perhaps I need to give this a try! x
Sure! One more day to start counting the weeks with us! Join!
I take lots of selfies and I like them. I tend to hate the photos others take of me.
Ok, you got me, I’m in! I secretly love selfies, this is sounds like a lot of fun.
I love taking selfies! I always take them with other people. It’s like my digital scrapbook 🙂
I think I’m one of the few people who hates taking selfies. Maybe I should practice and get more comfortable.
I totally feel you Liz. That’s why I decided to change my thinking and start taking selfies – we’ll see what happens after a while:)
I like taking selfies and I don’t mind people who are against taking selfies. It’s my fone camera not theirs lol
I am not much of a selfie person. I leave that to the younger generation. Your challenge is a great one for people to participate in. I love the privacy feature too.
This sounds like a fun and empowering idea. I like the fact that you have to say something nice about yourself on each picture. Self positivity is so important!
I don’t mind if people like it or not. As long as it won’t hurt anyone, I will still take selfies.
This is a great way to empower each other and give each other confidence. I hope a lot of women join this challenge, it sounds so fun!
I am not afraid of how I look or how people look at me! Selfie brings me confidence!
I want this challenge! I also take selfies, whenever I am. I feel like expressing myself in a nice way.
Awesome! Feel invited Nikki! One more day …so we all start counting the weeks together.
I think this is a great idea! If I take selfies it’s going to be with my husband or girls. I don’t take many by myself. I love this challenge though!
That sounds like a brilliant challenge! I would love to join
Feel invited Enricoh!
I need to take more selfies. Maybe I will do this challenge, it would help for sure.
Give it a try Christina!
This is a really cool challenge. I am not much of a selfie person and so this would be pretty difficult for me but I could do it.
I need to be more confident in myself. This challenge would definitely help build my self confidence up.
What an amazing way to boost your image of you! You are sometimes your own worst enemy. At least I believe that to be true for me.
sounds like an interesting yet a fun challenge! I thought selfies can boost someone’s confidence. Thanks for sharing!
I thought I’d never take them. And then I had a granddaughter. 😉
I am not against taking selfie, it is a way of expressing oneself. I love this challenge.
I use to hate taking selfies of myself. I just did not like the way I looked. I am glad that I started. This would be a great thing to document.
I love this. Learning to love yourself one selfie at a time. This is very empowering.
I’m not one to take a selfie of myself, but this I can imagine to be quite fun! xx
