Feeling good with yourself

Tweet

So, I guess that at least once, all of us we have compared ourselves with some celebrity or model, or just have said: "I want that body", "What I can't have a hair like that?" or something similar. Recently, I was looking some information about energy boosting foods, and I've read on a health site, issues that celebrities have with themselves. They were saying that they're not perfect, they have some problems with their beauty, ot sometimes they don't have enough confidence, etc. And as a bottom line, the writer of the article, added below every celebrity confession something like: "Like Taylor, accept yourself for who you are --"flaws" and all-- and life will be better." or "Like Katy, you have to learn that it's the person inside who counts." Well, I've been reading all this and, at the same time, thinking: this is not really healthy. Why I've been thinking this? I think that nobody can tell you how you have to feel with your flaws. To feel good with yourself, you really need to do something with you, to improve that what you hate, this is what actually can makes you feel better. I believe that you can't just look at you at the mirror and say: "It's ok, it's fine, I'm beautiful anyway, what is inside me is what counts", that's not healthy, at some point, you will look at yourself at the mirror again, and you will back to hate you. I believe that doing something for yourself, no matter what that is, if that will makes you feel better with yourself, is much better than just say that everything is fine and trying to accept yourself as you are (and this is a job that you will probably never end up). Why you think that most people say that you need to improve your self-esteem and accept yourself for who you are, but without doing anything? If I want some surgery or dye my hair or something similar, what can I do this if it will make me feel better? Do you think that this is just a conspiration from celebrities to make them always better and make us still how we are? LOL. I mean, they just don't accept themselves as they are, behind a celebrity there are lots of details, skincare, makeup, hair care, expensive clothes, expensive jewelry, days at spas, beauty teams, all, that kind of stuff. Why they're telling us that we should be as we already are? I think this is just hypocrisy. Are you with me? Or you think that accepting yourself for who you are is better?
