There is hardly a representative of the fair sex who is completely satisfied with her appearance. Even recognized divas, looking at their reflection in the mirror, notice certain flaws and try to mask various flaws from prying eyes.
Getting out of the influence of the media
First of all, in order to change the attitude towards your body, you need to stop “believing in advertising”. On the one hand, a beautiful picture on a screen or in a glossy magazine is partly the result of the work of Photoshop specialists. On the other hand, there is a huge team behind the creation of commercials, whose goal is to sell their goods and earn as much money as possible from it.
Therefore, experts do their best to create the image of an ideal person. After all, in fact, they are not selling diet pills, high-quality slimming underwear, exercise equipment, plastic surgery, and so on, but the dream to somehow resemble this ideal person, thanks to the use of similar products and services.
In addition, most commercials are fashionable. And "fashion is a capricious lady", so the ideals of beauty change quite often. Either small breasts are in vogue, now large, now painful thinness, now bodies with shapes, now porcelain skin, now bronze tan. It is important to stop following these standards, to try to protect yourself from social pressure.
Way to yourself
The work on accepting your appearance should start with approaching the mirror. Look at yourself to the fullest. Most likely, you will like certain parts of the body and not others. Try to devote as much time as possible to what you think are attractive parts. Look at them, admire and admire them.
Also, signing up for a fitness center, yoga or dancing will help to overcome the complexes. This will not only allow you to put the body in order, but also help in the formation of an easy gait, plasticity of movements.
It is important to pamper yourself more often and try to buy only beautiful clothes that emphasize your merits. In it you will feel more confident and relaxed.
Also, some psychologists advise to treat with more love the unattractive, in your opinion, parts of your body. Carefully stroke them, kiss them, say a few kind words in a whisper. Do this exercise at least a few times a week.
You may feel uncomfortable at first, but very soon you will begin to take such signs of attention for granted, and then you will stop perceiving your body as ugly altogether. Another way is to try to look at yourself from the outside. You are probably very hard on yourself. Ask another person to draw you full length. It doesn't matter if he is a good artist or not, the main thing is that he reflects his perception of you. An exercise like this will allow you to see yourself in a different light.
If you cannot accept yourself on your own, try making an appointment with a psychologist and sort out all the nuances of this problem with him.
