Is it ok to be “not ok”?

 

We live in the world where people believe in creating standards for everything- measuring or trying to fit in particular scale for every aspect. But here the question arises that how do you see yourself- from your own perspective or other’s perspective? This question leads you to a tunnel of thoughts…

Most of the people, especially women, don’t like their body and don’t feel comfortable in it just because they don’t have “perfect” body, their body is not like the ones which are shown in magazines or in social media and people assume that their body is not perfect enough or they are lacking in something. Here there a concept of body shaming starts. Yes, body shaming is not only done by others but also by ourselves. Fat shaming or thin shaming is a real shame!!!

We are usually told that our weight, height, hairs and also the skin color should be “perfect” and this thought has deeply rooted in our minds like nothing else. Is it really necessary to fit in those scales? Ask yourself are you just a number on the scale?

Many times people are body shamed by others either intentionally or unintentionally but they don’t realize how deep their one mocking comment can be for that person. Just passing one general comment can affect that person a lot because that person is not only hearing this comment from you but also from so many other people out there and slowly this leads to the under-confident person. Many different diet plans, exercises are tried just to fit in. Being fit and being fat/slim is often misunderstood. One should definitely stay fit but not necessary to constraint oneself to any scale or number that too because of someone else’s pressure. You should never give anyone this authority to tell you how you should look.

It really starts from you, try to accept yourself the way you are. Change only for yourself. Just feel beautiful about yourself. Be your own critic. Be healthy- no matter fat or thin. Other people’s opinion won’t really matter if you believe that you are beautiful this will definitely lead to a confident person.

Its only about how to perceive yourself!!!
