Get The Perfect Body…
How Media Images Destroy Our Self-Esteem…
By Andréa Albright
And Ruin Our Relationships With Our Bodies…
When we see images of “perfection” and “over-stimulated” sexual organs in our media – tv, internet, movies, billboards – everywhere there are images being mass produced to sell us products has created a new form of psychology – Media
“Perfection Psychosis”
The obsession with being Perfect…
Perfect boobs, perfect hair, perfect flat belly…..
And while underneath all of this, is our attraction to health and humans that express healthy attributes, but it can also turn to a destructive force.
It brings up things in relationship that the human animal has never experienced before. As our ancestors were living in a society where beauty was RARE, we are surrounded by it daily.
Images in media give the human brain the ILLUSION that perfection is the norm and that being ugly or “less than perfect” is ab-normal.
This sets up a no-winning battle where a woman will never feel beautiful enough… and a man will never fully have his idealized fantasies fulfilled.
And as a woman, feeling less than beautiful or desirable by her chosen mate causes a source of great pain and shame about her “less than perfect” body.
It’s easy to go into self-sabatoging behavior when you think, “what’s the use? it’s never gonna be perfect anyway. Why even bother to be healthy and take care of it?”
And this leads to a downward spiral of body abuse, self-sabotage, and negative emotions. Which will only want a woman to “escape” from her body even more.
Chocolate, sugar, lots of wine… it all becomes an avenue to just stop the body hatred for a moment… and yet, the only thing will stop it is the most counterintuitive action … give your body LOVE.
Self-care. Self-nuturing. Self-love.
That’s actually what will stop the pain and quiet those voices of shame that want to compare you to every digitized image that crosses your path – yes, all THOUSAND times that day – it is the only power strong enough to overcome even the darkest thoughts.
- Give your body LOVE.
- Cherish your body.
- Love yourself.
You’ll find that there is a far greater joy than “being perfect”… because if you ask any of the models on the other side of those photos about THEIR insecurities about their body (and trust me, I’ve been there!), you’ll see that they are just like us.
- Worried about their belly pooch.
- Scared that they won’t be “attractive” enough.
- Terrified that they don’t deserve to be loved.
… and doing their best to smile through the pain and the insecurities that plague every woman in the modern, hyper-digitized, hyper-photoshopped, media world that we live in.
It’s not about escaping from these images. It’s all a game to silence the negative doubts of insecurity.
And the only way to do this from my experience and from listening to other woman that have found ways to Lose Weight and keep it off… it doesn’t come from a “punishing” force. It always comes from self love.
