<\/a><\/p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n\nDespite having a sound combination of body and mind, people are obsessed with fitting into the standard body image benchmark as hyped by advertising media. They resort to silly things to enhance their body image, placing great value on other\u2019s views and ignoring the self-realization of what suits him\/her best!<\/p>\n
Signs that you are harming your body image<\/h2>\n
Body image issues can come from any source \u2013 sources you wouldn\u2019t have suspected even in your wildest dreams! \u00a0They quietly creep into your life and make you do things that you have never done before. Here are a few ways in which you are harming your body image.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Stressing too much on the BMI factor:<\/h3>\n
Physicians, insurance agents, and physical training instructors still consider BMI is a sacrosanct indicator of health. BMI categorically sets numbers to determine healthy, overweight, and obese people. Neither does it insist on a beefcake nor physic favor a skinny frame. These demarcations stick to your mindset, thereby affecting your body image.<\/p>\n Health magazines and bodybuilding websites may be harming your body image. They project a six-pack model and promote it as the ultimate goal for health and happiness. A physique like Arnold Schwarzenegger seems the eventual objective in life. This builds stress for not matching up to expectations and holding back your body image becomes tougher.<\/p>\n Media propaganda has spread into the theme of dressing as well. They dictate how you should dress to project a desired look. Apparel industry spells out standard patterns of dressing – like vertical stripes to look slim\u00a0and designer garments to bring in an illusion of curves where you want to have them. This is a pseudo convention, being forced down upon consumers even when they are reluctant to swallow the garbage. This affects the body image in an adverse way.<\/p> People are conscious of their looks and it can strongly influence their feelings. This obsession with\u00a0looks can be\u00a0harming your body image. Whenever you stand before a mirror prior to a party and don’t like the way you look, a wave of gloom overpowers you. You feel like not showing up to the party at all.<\/p>\n Even if circumstantial compulsions get you to the jamboree, you project a negative and unhappy image. That you have a golden heart is suppressed by the\u00a0feeling that your skin is going lose or your wrinkles are too pronounced. It is tough, but holding back your body image is important.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A negative thought on the self-image is a big hurdle in meeting objectives. We put more emphasis on selecting the right attire and accessories, instead of cultivating a new expertise, finding potential trading partners, or winning lucrative projects. This will lead you to seriously harming your body image and thereby letting all the opportunities slip out of your grip.<\/p>\n A negative perception of body image brings in more disasters. It keeps you from voicing your feelings, desires, and ideas – lest people notice you and grimace in distaste.\u00a0 The fear of being noticed deprives you of good things in life. You start lagging behind in career advancements and maintaining relationships.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\u2022 Striving for one ideal body type:<\/h3>\n
