🟡 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.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So rather than spend all of your mental and emotional energy either trying to conform to societal ideals or spend it swimming upstream trying not to care, there’s a balance you can reach that will bring you peace.
