Embrace Your Perfectly Imperfect Self with Body Positivity Expert Emily Lauren Dick
Manage episode 398853630 series 3507236
The pressure to look perfect--and be perfect--is exhausting and expensive on many levels. In the quest to live up to impossibly high beauty standards, we often squander an incredible amount of time, mental energy, and financial resources. I've found that our mental and physical health pay a huge price when we feel judged, rejected, and shamed if we are different from ridiculously idealized norms. When we look in the mirror, we often see ourselves through a lens of toxic comparison--a negative self-evaluation based on airbrushed images from social media, magazines, TV, and more. Although it's wonderful to want to look and feel our best, self-esteem and overall mental health take a huge hit when societal forces result in objectification, self-doubt, shame, and self-loathing. Although we are often raised to believe otherwise, we are far more than our looks. The movements of body positivity and body neutrality are bringing much-needed doses of acceptance, compassion, and real change into society. It’s time for more empowering conversations about self-love and letting go of the shame-induced drive for perfection. Join Dr. Carla and expert Emily Lauren Dick for a captivating conversation about body positivity, self-love, and joy of creating lasting change.
