learn what body image is and the importance of a positive body image!
ways we can bring more awareness to body image!
The first step to be more aware of body image is to appreciate all that your body does for you, your body gives you the energy to do lots of things in your day as well as carrying you closer to your dreams. We should be fueling our body with the food that it needs to have for it be healthy and function well.
The next step to be more aware of body image is to learn what a healthy body is and that all the ‘super models’ that we see on the internet aren’t realistic images of body. To have a positive body image we must remember it take time and care for ourselves and to remind ourselves that we are beautiful.
The last step to be more aware of body image is surround yourself with positive people that make you feel good about yourself and appreciate you for who you are. As well as wearing what you feel comfortable in and not caring what other people thing you should be wearing and doing, you are the owner of your body you can do what you want with it.
As a community we need to bring more of an awareness to the topic of body image and accept that it isn’t just females that struggle with this issue, males also struggle with their body image. Society has put such a high expectation on what our bodies should look like and that we should look like these ‘models’ on social media. Society's beauty expectations are toxic and not healthy, we should be bringing more awareness to having a positive body image and talking kindly to yourself and about your body.
