Watch this video.
How devastating is it hearing how women describe themselves? Not one positive word to describe their bodies when asked. But we wouldn't look at any of those women and call them disgusting. Why do women (and men) have such a negative perception which is not aligned to how others see them?
We must start to love ourselves so that others will see that it is not the norm to only see the bad. Sure, everyone has bits of themselves they might change. BUT what about the bits that you wouldn't change. Focus on the positives - it will do wonders for your confidence and that will radiate from you. Kids are body conscious younger than every before. I don't recall being body conscious until about age 17. Little girls younger than 10 worry about their appearance nowadays. This can only lead to unwanted issues as they mature. Set an example - teach the people you love to love themselves.
I wanted to share this video because it shocked me. The Embrace documentary can send a powerful message - I hope it gets made. Please share and also think of three things you LOVE about your body. And then tell someone else something you LOVE about their body.
I shall practice what I preach
1. My bum
2. Blue eyes
3. Being tall
Your turn ladies and gents.
