Oh the Places You'll Go

The body image you have has a huge impact on your life. It is the paradigm through which you see the world. That means that if you have a positive and healthy image of yourself, you are likelier to see the world as a place of opportunity and a safe place where you can be yourself. The more you don't like what you see in the mirror the easier it is to become sullen and withdrawn, sometimes convinced that all the world hates you and despises you. I think it is interesting to see what kind of person everyone becomes based solely on how they see themselves. This website is a great resource on having a healthy body image and healthy living. It also has a section on eating disorders, which is one thing people with a poor body image can struggle with. Depression is another issue that can come about from dealing with a poor body image.

  1. I couldn't agree with you more! When people see themselves in a positive way, they seem to have a positive attitude toward everything, or at least they are more optimistic with things.
