From the author: the article was published on the website How to love yourself? This is a question many women ask themselves. Excessive self-criticism and dissatisfaction with their reflection in the mirror lead many women to see a plastic surgeon. Conducted sociological studies confirm that 85% of women are dissatisfied with their figure and do not like themselves. The number of women wanting to change their figure has increased. We do not touch here on the moments when people turn to a surgeon for medical reasons. The beauty, fashion and entertainment industries promote their standards of beauty, which are sometimes incompatible with life. Diseases such as anorexia and bulimia, eating disorders, have become firmly established in our lives and have become “synonyms” of beauty. Many psychological problems that women cannot solve or are trying to solve quickly are a surgeon’s scalpel. By turning to a plastic surgeon, a woman publicly admits her dislike for her body and, in particular, for herself. It happens that the more we begin to strive for perfection, caused by dissatisfaction with ourselves, we begin to struggle with imaginary shortcomings, and the process of renewal becomes endless. Thus, if we pay attention only to the shortcomings of our body, we will notice only the bad, which can lead to various neurotic diseases. But if you change your thinking and see yourself not only in parts, but as a whole, then you can become happy and attractive. Don't divide yourself into parts, for example: “my chest”, “my legs”, “my nose”, or “my lips”. Love yourself as a whole, not just your figure. How to love yourself? Love is a non-judgmental feeling, but as soon as we divide ourselves into parts, we evaluate ourselves. Love all of yourself without judgment. Praise your body, take care of your body, because thanks to it you can live, enjoy life, enjoy life, and be a creative person. Only by loving yourself can you love others. Read positive statements. They will make you resilient in moments of weakness, you will believe that you are attractive and unique. Attractiveness includes the traits that make you unique and individual. Make an advantage out of your shortcomings. A few good statements will help you: Every day I live, I become better and more beautiful! Whatever I do, I do for the benefit of my health and beauty. All the food that I eat, may it be blessed for me. I I free myself from the past and forgive everyone. I dedicate the day to loving myself more. Be happy!
