When do you decide to love your body beyond form and weight in human history?This is a step that many people cannot take because of the immense amount of prejudices accumulated in relation to “what a body should be. “
But what should it be like? Let us ask ourselves, before judging, to hurt and destroy the dignity of our bodies: what should a good body look like?For whom? Fashions have also come (to stay) in the body, our bodies have become prey in a number of ways that respond to certain interests, the interest of others, not so much ours.
- Interests that are perfectly valid and that are within your right to exist.
- Because.
- In the end.
- It is the person who will have to decide whether he prefers to accept his body according to schemes written by other people or schemes built specifically by each being.
- It is a personal choice in all cases.
- But not a conscious choice in many cases.
If the acceptance we make of our body depends on external norms, which change according to the fashion that is at its peak right now, we will spend all our lives sold to something that is out of control, but if we defend it ourselves, instead of attacking according to what is “written”, we can finally take the path of acceptance.
Instead of looking at the body with care and care, we analyze it from the point of view of criticism and the need to “repair”. There’s always something unworthy about him, and this outrage sometimes turns into cruelty. Especially in vital moments. In adolescence, for example, the body is one of the main means of expression of identity.
The need to be seen and admired in many cases is related and limited to the body. What about the body? Until this claim. This body from which we will hang clothes that identifies us as someone unique and special, this same body eventually becomes a space of constant internal struggle.
Thus, our body becomes a battlefield, representing a true catastrophic zone or ground zero. We learn to turn our attention to what we don’t like about our bodies (based on patterns dominated by fashions and other business interests) rather than teaching us to accept, love and even explore the body with curiosity and not with the goal of criticizing, we punish our body before recognizing it.
So, for many people, the body ends up becoming a kind of cell in which they are doomed to live, not in a house, not in an extraordinary and changing place with the most perfect design, for these people it is more of a heavy burden that distorts their business card, a weight that diminishes value in a very competitive world , in which the physical is important.
Maybe our bodies are screaming in silence and we’re not listening. Don’t sell me for the best deal!?But when we manage to free ourselves from the filter of external judgment (which we have already internalized), we find that our gaze becomes more loving, less dramatic and healthier.
Something like that? Yes, I have cellulite and I decide to look at my body with affection and not with disgust. “Yes, I have a big belly, but instead of going to the gym as punishment, I start working on accepting my body. ” Of course, health is at the root of any urgent need for change. Feeling good in your own body includes care and nurturing based on acceptance and affection.
Exercising, dancing, healing, looking are actions that are part of the contact with your body, of its discovery, it will be worth working to be kind and free of prejudices about our body, this will help us to have this vision in relation to the outside world and the bodies of others.
“Don’t make your body the tomb of your soul. -Pythagoras-
So there’s a big difference between wanting to take care of yourself?Based on punishment and contempt for our bodies, as if it were a “temporary”, until we are as the rules say, and we want to take care of you to feel healthier The latter through the acceptance that it is our body and we love it beyond its weight and beyond its forms, this moment will be a great step towards reconciliation.
