Ep. 54 Has body positivity gone too far?
Manage episode 425334612 series 3481773
In this episode of "How to Twenty-Something," I explore the controversial topic of body positivity and discuss whether it has gone too far. While promoting self-love and confidence is essential, I believe the movement sometimes overlooks the importance of maintaining healthy habits. True body positivity involves balancing self-acceptance with taking care of our health through proper nutrition, exercise, and self-care. I also highlight the unrealistic standards set by social media and emphasize the need to embrace our natural body changes. Ultimately, it's about finding a balance between empowerment and realism, and not falling into complacency or unhealthy extremes.
Key Takeaways:
- Be realistic with what your body is capable of without taking yourself through the extremes
- Our body is our transportation system or task device
- Your favorite influencer might be sending you the wrong message
- There are pros and cons to this movement to consider when it comes to how you’re showing up for yourself
- You’re going to have bad body image days, it’s perfectly normal
