Yes, You Can Make Peace with Your Body Image
It’s perfectly normal to feel uncomfortable in our bodies. Even the most confident-appearing people experience this style of self-doubt. We must try to remember that the standard of “perfection” we believe we’re chasing does not actually exist. We can rewrite our own narrative, knowing that the images we see are nothing but a collection of cheap advertising tricks. They do not get to dictate how we feel about ourselves. That privilege uniquely belongs to each one of us.
