Girls and Body Image Tips

Girls don’t realize their importance, their value, their role in the society. Every now and then we have self doubts. Women who are homemakers don’t feel the worth in the work they do on daily basis. Oh, my mother feels I am a bad cook, but am I? My mother in law feels I don’t keep the house clean, is it? My kids feel I don’t understand, c’mon I have been your age.

This is self image, which is what we see from the eyes of others. We see how incompetent we are as daughters, mothers, homemakers, but are these true?

What are true are us, what we think about ourselves.

 Someone has rightly said, ‘Sometimes people don’t notice the things we do for them, until we stop doing them.’ Our self image should be a mirror to our thoughts. If you don’t respect yourselves, if you don’t love yourselves, if you don’t follow a passion, you will be everything that others want you to be, but yourself.

Men have been successful so far, business houses, entertainment houses, top chef, etc., and you know why? It’s because they had a mother or a wife who said, ‘Go pursue your dreams, I will take care of the rest of things in your life.’ Now it is their turn, but you, as a woman, have to ask for it.

Taking care of the family, being there for them, loving them, all of these are secondary to being yourself. Invest in yourself.

You have to be confident; you have to have that zest to do something. Family always comes first, but you need to have that little space for yourself.  Pursue a hobby, pursue a dream, do something just for yourself.

When this self image is positive you feel positive about your physical body. Try and appreciate your body. Highlight the part of body that you are proud of and camouflage the variation.

Dress smartly and wisely. Our image depends on how we are groomed. If you keep on feeling you don’t look good or you don’t dress smart, the other will sense your dip in confidence. This New Year, take a pledge to not be a part of fashion trend.
