The #ChachiCollective was created to encourage everyone to make a daily body positive commitment.
That commitment is:
LEARN TO LOVE YOUR BODY AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO LOVE THEIRS
As you can see that commitment has two distinct parts to it: YOU and OTHERS
YOU
You are good enough, exactly as you are, right at this moment. But I get it... believing that isn’t easy after a lifetime of being told the opposite by media, or peers, or strangers. But it’s true, you are good enough. Just as you are. Take a moment to contemplate that. Who got to define what 'beauty' is anyway?
“The body positive movement focuses on building self-esteem through improving one’s self-image.” — Wikipedia
Being part of the #ChachiCollective means being nice to your own body, learning to respect it for keeping you alive, accepting it for how it looks right now, starting the journey to liking your body and eventually loving it and making a commitment to doing right by your mind and your body.

and…
OTHERS
If you would like to be part of the #ChachiCollective then this means you commit to helping others get on the road to self love too. You can take this on as a passive or active role, whichever you feel more happy with.
At its core it requires a certain level of passive action: no body shaming others and stop engaging in conversations which encourage negative comments about your own, or other bodies. Don't feel like you need to raise your voice when others are using diet chat or shaming others if you aren't comfortable with interjecting, just don't engage. That, alone, is powerful.
Embrace a more forgiving attitude, commit to looking after yourself, commit to empowering others and these steps could definitely change your own life, the people around you, and who knows, maybe you could change the world…
