Christina Aguilera Encourages Fans To ‘Be Real’ And Share Their Diary Entries During Quarantine

While Christina Aguilera has been sharing regular quarantine updates with fans, she’s now taking things to a new level to mark Mental Health Awareness Month.

The singer revealed she was starting #DiaryDares in a lengthy Instagram post Wednesday, encouraging fans to “dig deep,” listen to themselves, and “create a safe space for one another” by sharing their thoughts.

Aguilera urged her followers to “share our current or past experiences (hardships or highlights), reflect on who we want to be, how we wish to live when we come out of this, and what we want to leave behind.”

Today I’m starting #DiaryDares. 🤍 Especially at this time, it’s essential to dig deep, listen to ourselves, & create a “safe space” for one another….to share our current or past experiences (hardships or highlights), reflect on who we want to be, how we wish to live when we come out of this, and what we want to leave behind. ⠀ ⠀ Diaries have always helped me do this. They keep me grounded and centered, and allow me to reflect and listen to my own voice- amongst all the noise of this business. Reviewing them, I am thankful to be able to look back on how my life has shaped me and how my journey has led me here. ⠀ ⠀ With #DiaryDares, I am sharing with you some of my diaries and challenging all you guys, my friends and fam, as well as @ddlovato, @bethennyfrankel, @instadanjlevy, @lizzobeeating, @halleberry, @aliciakeys and @cleowade to post a diary entry from this time. Let’s archive this time in history and establish a safe place to express, reflect, and share together. When you post, tag 6 more people to be brave and do the same. & Tag #DiaryDares so we can share together. ⠀ ⠀ I dare us to be real, fearless, take away the filters and be comfortable enough in our own individual beauty. I dare us to come together and share our feelings in a time that is uncertain – whether we may feel scared, lonely, and everything in between. I dare us to read each other’s truths and support them. Lift each other up. 🖤🙏 I hope you join me. It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth and this kind of sharing is so important and cathartic. And we will feel better and be stronger because of it. 💪

“I dare us to be real, fearless, take away the filters and be comfortable enough in our own individual beauty,” Aguilera, who has been posting numerous snaps of her recent endeavours while at home, wrote.

She then challenged Demi Lovato, Bethenny Frankel, Dan Levy, Lizzo, Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, and Cleo Wade to share their own diary entries.
