- VIDEO: People always told to become better versions of
themselves. Social media has promoted a universal beauty
which consists of white, tall, thin. You can't live normally to
get that physique– it is not natural. Don't compare yourself to
other people everyone is different. Beauty is seen differently by
different people and not only physical attributes, also is
within. Surround yourself with people that make you feel
better about your body image.

comparing yourself with
others and look at the
other aspects of yourself
that are more beautiful
and more interesting.

constantly bombarded with images of
‘attractiveness’ in the media. Over the years,
the media has constructed an image of
‘attractiveness’ in our minds which appears to
be absolute truth and has been firmly
ingrained in our way of thinking. All that
pressure can lead to negative body image.

- The Facts
- Body image is how you see yourself when you
look in the mirror, or when you picture yourself
in your mind. What you believe about your own
appearance. How you feel about your body,
including your height, shape and weight. How
you feel in your body as you move.
- Poor body image comes from
negative thoughts and feelings
about your appearance, and a
healthy body image is made up of
thoughts and feelings that are
positive. Body image is a major
factor in self-esteem; which is the
way you think and feel about
yourself as a person.

- The concept of what is ‘attractive’ is
always changing and totally flexible.If you
are having trouble with negative body
image in the face of the stereotypical idea
of ‘attractiveness’ that we see all around
us, remember that a lot of what you see
has been altered using technology. They
have created an idea of what is attractive
that even they can’t live up to! There is
no such thing as an ideal body - try to
steer clear of media that suggests there is.
