How do you feel about the way you look? Do you ever let feelings of not being good enough or looks that fall short of unrealistic beauty standards stop you from feeling beautiful? We are bombarded with messages from the media telling us that we need to be thinner, curvier, firmer, even smarter… and go on for significantly longer!
Life is hard enough as it is without dealing with body shaming, unachievable beauty standards, and the negative effects of social media. In the unrealistic world of social media, it’s easy to compare yourself to others. You see photos of models and actresses who don’t look like them at all and see some kind of standard that you aren’t living up to. You start to believe that you are not good enough.
We are here to change that narrative. In a world where success is often measured by looks and not by talent, it’s easy to get caught up in the world’s idea of what beauty is. There are a lot of amazing people out there who have built incredible careers and confidence despite not fitting into society’s idea of what you are supposed to look like. We should be looking at our physical imperfections as something unique in ourselves– not something we should be embarrassed about. Let’s stop giving the media the power to tell us otherwise.
Freckles, pimples, stretch marks, dark marks? We can always work around these things. With the right mindset, we can conquer our low self-esteem issues.
We’ll let you in a little secret. Beauty is confidence!
