We live in a society where aesthetics are highly valued, celebrities, actors and models are almost always retouched in Photoshop before appearing on the covers of magazines, for example, without even realizing it they make us believe that the most important thing is the image , that if we are beautiful we will achieve it.
Why do so many women care too much about their physical appearance?We are at a time when the number of people undergoing cosmetic surgery is increasing dramatically. We try to show that we are beautiful to others. Is it really true that we dress to feel good? Or, subconsciously, do we do this for others to love us?
- Some inadvertently become obsessed with physical appearance.
- All your well-being revolves around your beauty or not; time passes and they do not accept that with age the first wrinkles appear and that the body is no longer the same as that of youth.
It is clear that, above all, the visual attracts attention, but what falls in love with a person is a series of things, such as personality, values, attitudes, attention, etc. ?However, many people base their happiness on their visual appearance.
How do you accept the passage of years?It is not easy at that time when the image is sold everywhere, but if we realize that the most important thing is in the inner essence, our priorities can change.
The true attractiveness of people will always be in the essence, in the values, in the way we treat others, in the way they behave, in all the little things that are part of each other’s personality.
If we can realize that the most important thing of all is inside, we can leave behind the addiction of wanting to please, of seeking praise, of always wanting to be beautiful, of finding frustration when something we do not like or when we have to deal with physical deterioration that occurs over the years.
Who never felt it wasn’t visually right? Even the models and people we think are wonderful sometimes feel bad or feel bad. It is these days that we can find out if our priority is physically or in personality.
No one likes not to feel beautiful, but people who tend to overemly emphasize this topic feel that their day is lost when they look bad; they cannot enjoy the day, nor socialize normally and frustration with themselves is present. For those who have the interior as a priority, they may even feel that they are not beautiful, but accepted and that does not prevent the day from being appreciated and social relations from going on normally.
Most adolescents prioritize the visual aspect and, if they do not reach it, low self-esteem takes over. It seems that everything revolves around aesthetics; This is due to the fact that a stable and satisfying personality has not yet developed at this age.
Entering adulthood also does not guarantee that the dependence of being among the most beautiful is overcome It will be because often the personality formed has gaps, conflicts, problems of self-esteem, etc. ?And that means that the only factor we can hold on to is beauty, so that people love us, but in reality the way of being is what raises awareness and brings people closer and closer together.
Accept yourself as it is, with what you have; the ideal is to reduce aesthetic demands and improve the way you are.
Most women paint each day, dress elegantly, make up, but do we do the same with our interior, do we nourish our skin to make it beautiful, but do we also nourish our soul?In the end, what brings the greatest happiness is a well-developed and stable personality with good values, much more than appearance; as it is not very stable and can vary from day to day, it is lost over time.
It is important to understand that we are body and soul and that only the combination of the two will bring us happiness, the body is the way we can move and feel, but its appearance can vary in a few days, in addition to changing over time. The soul, on the other hand, is something stable that does not change; It is forever, we must give more value to the inner essence and connect with it, without the physical image.
The physique attracts, but the personality is passionate and, as the Little Prince said, “the essential is invisible to the eye”.
