Are We Women Allowing Society to Control
What We Think About Ourselves?
Beauty is definitely different for each and every one of us. What we think is beautiful is a personal evaluation on all levels of consciousness, whether mental, physical, or spiritual. But as a society, when we think of beauty, we focus solely on one’s looks, size, and shape. We cannot escape feeling judged on the basis of appearance. As a result, many women and girls feel inadequate as these so-called “beauty images” diminish or extinguish a woman’s (or girl’s) ability to appreciate their natural beauty and distinguish that from “artificially enhanced” beauty.
ACTION STEPS
How do I stop wanting to look like someone else?
-
Realize that the person you wish to look like is not perfect either. No one is perfect.
-
Appreciate your own beauty. We all have bad days. Find the good things about yourself and say them. I love my arms! I am intelligent! I am a great mother! I am self-sufficient! I am healthy! I am a good tennis player! I am a wonderful friend! I am reliable!
-
Be more confident! Develop your own sense of style.
-
Talk to someone about your thoughts. Have this person help you appreciate your strengths and motivate you to work on your flaws bit by bit.
-
Get a support system -- or join one.
