Body Image

Body image is the perception that a person has of their physical self and the thoughts and feelings that result from that perception. These feelings can be positive, negative or both, and are influenced by individual and environmental factors.

Or

Body image is the mental representation an individual creates of themselves, but it may or may not bear any relation to how one actually appears.

=========================================

Signs of Poor body image 🧡

- Avoids social engagements.

- Constantly hides the perceived flaw with makeup or clothes.

- Needs reassurance from others

- Is never satisfied with appearance.

=========================================

Body image and self-esteem start in the mind, not in the mirror. They can change the way you understand your value and worth. Healthy body image and self-esteem are a big part of well-being.

Spiritually

spirituality * urban dictionary *

1. Belief in the spirit, soul, often as it relates to religious, sacred, or otherwise noncorporeal matters. A little metaphysics and philosophy are peripherally related as well, as its purpose is to give us perspective on life and what to do with it.

spir·it·u·al·ly

adverb

1. in a way that relates to or affects the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things."they are connected spiritually through a sense of purpose"



Definitions from Oxford Languages

How do you define spirituality?

Spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature.

Religion is a specific set of organised beliefs and practices, usually shared by a community or group. Spirituality is more of an individual practice and has to do with having a sense of peace and purpose. It also relates to the process of developing beliefs around the meaning of life and connection with others.

men·tal health

noun

noun: mental health

1. a person’s condition with regard to their psychological and emotional well-being.

~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

Self-care encourages self-improvement. It promotes rest and relaxation, which benefits our overall health and wellness, and it also promotes healthy relationships.

Some tips for self-care include:

* Live Healthy, eat healthy foods, get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and avoid drugs and alcohol. Manage stress and go for regular medical check-ups.

* Practice good hygiene. Good hygiene is important for social, medical, and psychological reasons in that it not only reduces the risk of illness, but it also improves the way others view you and how you view yourself.

* See friends to build your sense of belonging. Consider joining a support group to make new friends.

* Try to do something you enjoy every day. That might mean dancing, watching a favorite TV show, working in the garden, painting or reading.

* Find ways to relax, like meditation, yoga, getting a massage, taking a bath or walking in the woods.
