How to love your physical appearance?

3 posts in this topic

many of us learned to be critical of
our physical appearance because it wasn't “good enough” by society's
standards. We were presented with the belief that we weren't tall
enough, thin enough, or that our skin wasn't the right color, and the
moment we agreed with that belief we began to self-domesticate.
Because we adopted an external belief, we either rejected or tried to
change our physical appearance so we could feel worthy of our own
self-acceptance and the acceptance of others. Imagine for a moment
the many industries that would cease to exist if we all loved our bodies
exactly the way they are.
To be clear, domestication regarding body image is different from
wanting to lose weight in order to be healthy, or even having a
preference to look a certain way. The key difference is that with a
preference, you come from a place of self-love and self-acceptance,
whereas with domestication you start from a place of shame, guilt, and
not being “enough.” The line between these two can be thin
sometimes, and a Master of Self is one who can look within and
determine his or her true motive.
