We don’t want to look in the mirror, it’s scary to take pictures, and we even use editing tools on our mobile phones to repair the “ugly” parts of our bodies in the images. Fashion, social pressures, comparisons . . . they are all intimate enemies that do a lot of damage and eliminate the little love we have for our image.
The body, understood as the place that gives us physical form and allows us to act on the outside world, is a more than important part of ourselves. With emotions and thoughts they form a “everything”, which sets us apart from others. . Today’s beauty standards and misperception of what health is make us hate this fantasy around us.
- In order to offer all the respect that our body deserves.
- A good idea is to start by trying to understand it.
- It is not a fight that hurts you.
- But tries to know yourself so that you find in your complexity a great ally.
- To do this.
- We must interpret our own signals.
So, when we don’t take care of ourselves enough, the body becomes a barrier or shield that protects us from the attacks of others, many times it is we who harm that special friend that we have by eating what is not healthy, by eating an excessive diet or putting too much intensity in the sport we practice?
This body that bothers you so much and that you do not want to see reflected in the mirror, that you hide by turning off the light in the intimacy of the couple or that avoids standing out by dressing more than expected, is what will accompany you. you for the rest of your life. He has the power to change it and even improve it, but that doesn’t mean in many cases that he will love him.
The media, advertising and society have enough power to make a girl stop eating to try to look more like a doll, or for a boy to go to the gym every day and continue to lift weights to look like men.
However, the sense of beauty in relation to image is quite relative and changes over time, for example, in the Renaissance beautiful women were the ones who today need special carvings, in Arab culture very thin women are not the most attractive to men looking for a marriage. There are several other examples like these.
Beyond what fashion imposes, the truth is that the body is the best technological machine we have, of course we could change something, but everything can really improve, so that we don’t have to belittle what we have.
Most people are not satisfied with their body image, the thinner would want to have a thinner body, others would like to have a thinner body, the older ones would be tired of seeing the world from above and the little ones would feel like they didn’t take them seriously.
You answered, don’t you ask the question “Do you love your body?”, you must be part of a large part of the population, and we invite you to move on to other questions: “Why doesn’t he love you?” which leads you not to be happy with your body ??, ??how you could improve ??, ?? you like parts of your body ??.
To change a part of your body, you have to wonder if a change is really necessary. Is it because you don’t like the body part itself or compared to others?In any case, if you intend to turn the task of change into a serious goal, it is best to consult a professional and let it help you.
Accepting does not mean standing by and changing nothing, it means starting the day having fun and understanding the beauty you hide and the beauty that manifests itself, an exercise that can help is standing in front of the mirror, if possible without clothes and analyzing every square inch, paying special attention to what you see and feel.
You may feel a bit of disgust at first, but after the first few minutes you will get used to it, look at your hair, on your face, on your torso, on your legs, look a lot at what you like the most : your nose, shoulders or eyes.
Then look for areas you don’t like so much, but this time, instead of criticizing, I propose another attitude: accept, this may seem easy in theory, but not so much in practice.
Do you have eyes that can see?Does he have a nose that allows you to breathe?With skin that can feel caresses?Find the right and right perspective for your body, not the value they give us in relation to advertising.
In addition to observing yourself, another way to take care of your body is to listen to what you’re doing, it has to do with staying with him in the shower and not thinking about what he’s going to do next, do sports and feel his speeding up heart, or walking and having the feeling of freedom that walking gives us in every move.
Finally, don’t forget all the people who would like to have a body like yours, of course they exist. Accept its forms, irregularities, reliefs and dimensions, it is not only the clothes that surround you, it is your thoughts, ideas and emotions.
