There are many reasons why it’s important to develop a positive body image, one of which is that by exhibiting positive body image you have the power to start to change how other people think about their bodies.
Current attractiveness ideals and the cultural focus on our appearance can make it difficult to feel good about your how we look, but it’s important to consider small shifts in your thinking and behaviors that may help to change your life and the lives of others.
Thinking about issues that are more important than how you look and being engaged with issues that are meaningful to you, can help you become a well-rounded, confident person. By choosing to foster your positive body image you set an example for those around you and help to lead society closer to understanding how important it is for all of us to be accepting and positive about who we are.
