116. How to Balance the Pressures of Social Conformity With Your Need For Body Autonomy

Fitness & Sushi

🟡 Living up to society’s expectations of what your body should look like is exhausting, and hyper-focusing on conforming to societal standards can be harmful to our lives.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

But living on the opposite end of the spectrum, where we don’t care what anyone thinks of us at all, is unrealistic for us as human beings.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We’re wired to care, and we’re wired to want to conform.
