In a world in which we are bombarded with images of women who are considered beautiful and desirable, but also are far removed from our everyday life experiences, it is difficult to have a positive image of your body.

The term ‘body shaming’ has even entered our everyday usage, as our society has become more fixated on a certain type of physique and standard of beauty, which the majority of us cannot naturally achieve. However, we can be quick to mock or stigmatise others.

In this day and age, it is crucial that you have a strong sense of self, who you are and your own beauty. You cannot depend on those in your circle – and less so the wider society – to validate and appreciate your looks and appearance, and by extension, you.

The only way to counteract such negativity is to remind yourself that you are wonderfully made and to love yourself.

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!!
