Perspectives

Today I want to talk a bit about how we think about our bodies. What do we think of ourselves? We live in a world with images and ads and magazines that describe a certain "ideal" of beauty. It can be difficult to maintain a healthy perspective in the middle of such an inundation.

The images of beauty that are popular now are only a fad. Other generations have preferred other forms of beauty - more curves, more voluptuous women. But even then it was still just an image of what "beauty" was at that time.

What I want to do is reject these images that we receive from outside ourselves and put in their place images that come from our own self-concepts, of who we are and how we feel about ourselves.

What are your thoughts and views on the images of beauty that are popular now? Do they have an impact on how you think of yourself? What images of beauty would you prefer?
