Have you ever felt wrong and always wanted external validation because of the way you look physically? Maybe it’s your stretch marks that bother you or maybe your big thighs, maybe your breasts are small or your belly isn’t the right size. There are days when you would love to be who you are but bad days often lead you to a corner. There are days when you feel that no part of your body is beautiful or worthy of receiving full adoration.
We all have body insecurities and at some point in our lives, we all go through that very unsafe place with ourselves and look like we are. These insecurities may stem from our culture, social expectations, and perhaps from our childhood upbringing and how we were conditioned to see ourselves. Often this perception of ourselves is made by those who are closest to us such as our friends and co-workers.
As we grow up, these insecurities lead to further criticism of how society defines the beauty narrative, especially for us as women. We are told to look and act a certain way in order to please the world and especially to be considered more attractive to the opposite sex.
Often our weight is a big topic of discussion, we are asked to eat less or in some cases to eat more. People often feel that it is appropriate to tell us what to wear and what is most appropriate, so that we feel validated and accepted.
There are many ways in which we can overcome our body’s insecurities. Here are 3 powerful tips to enhance the beauty you’ve always had and become more confident by embracing your body:
be sensitive
Remember that your feelings are neither right nor wrong, they just exist. You are allowed to feel your feelings, cry or feel sad. Know that your authentic self matters. In order to find who you are at your core and in your most authentic form, you have to take the time to learn and get to know yourself. When you learn to know and accept yourself, being insecure will be something you never have to feel ashamed or apologize for. Allow your vulnerability to empower you. It is not a weakness but a strength that we all must have to embrace our true identity and uncover the beauty within us.
self reflection
Often we are our own worst critics. Sometimes we can’t help but put ourselves down. It stems from the insecurities we carry within ourselves. Spend time self-studying and realizing your true potential and letting go of the negative influences that affect the way you see yourself. Believe in the restoration of self-love and acceptance in your life and feel the magnitude that your identity carries that goes far beyond your physical appearance. Remember that the journey to greater self-love is love.
be zen from within
It is easy to have a negative opinion of ourselves, especially when we are not mindful of our lives. We are consumed by the fast-paced world around us and often our minds get caught up in our own insecurities. To be aware means to be present in the moment; body, mind and soul. Let go of the old programming that holds you back, say ‘yes’ to mindfulness that cultivates strength, peace, compassion, forgiveness, and love within us. We will begin to illuminate the true beauty which is beyond the expectations placed on us by the society. When we share our authentic selves, we allow others to follow suit and find courage in our weaknesses.
Remember that no part of you is your enemy. Once we know both our sides, the good and the bad, we need to practice fundamental self-acceptance. Only then can our true power shine from within. We are beautiful in our imperfections and imperfections because it uniquely defines who we are and we should be proud of that!
