Looks and weight: they're not everything in life!

Mental Health   ›   Body Image  ›   Looks and weight: they're not everything in life!

We are bombarded with perfect images, retouched bodies, and we hear about diets and appearance non-stop... It's not easy to find your way around and feel good in your own skin! But we have a secret for you: your body is much more than an image 🙌

In this article, we give you some tips to free yourself from the pressure of appearances.

If you hang out with friends who often talk about their looks, their weight, their bodies, or other people’s bodies, ask yourself if that’s good for you. When we constantly hear people talking about weight and looks, it can have an impact on us and feed our worries on that issue.

 

Maybe you’ve heard hurtful comments about your body, which made you feel bad and caused you to doubt yourself. Sometimes, the pressure to please, be liked, or be accepted by other people is strong. It can give you the idea that you need to change your appearance or your weight in order to be valued, but that’s wrong!

 

Remember that your body is just the outside envelope. Your personality, interests, and qualities are the main things that make you attractive. Those are things you can cultivate, and a new look won’t change the situation!
