Have you ever wondered why it is so easy for you to be mean to yourself about how your body looks? Our society is rooted in perfection and these ideas that we need to look a certain way in order to be considered beautiful.
As humans, we experience body exclusion on a daily basis and even though we can see commercials on Television that depict people with different body types, disabilities, shades, and genders, we still see body shaming on social media, in magazines, and on television. This is the impact of perfection called the standard of beauty.
We internalize body and beauty shaming so much that there are times you may not realize when you are body or beauty shaming yourself. The Body and Beauty Shaming Check In below can help you with the following:
- Becoming more aware of the negative self-talk you engage in and thoughts that you have about your body.
- Being mindful about what your body needs.
- Normalizing the changes your body will go through for the rest of your life
Do this check in whenever you notice that you are judging, shaming, and being unkind to your body.
