How can you truly embrace yourself? I have been writing on how people are being body-shamed. How people get looked down on because they don’t fit into another person’s physical preferences. How to truly embrace yourself is a significant question in your search for identity.
I have just discovered another truth. You are what you think you are. The Bible says, ‘As a man thinks in his heart, so he is.’ If you decide to listen to everything you hear, you’ll keep on getting distraught. So in our article on body shaming, we said that body shaming can be done by other people. Another aspect of body shaming is when you do it to yourself. It can be caused by a number of reasons, ranging from insecurity, doubts, fear, and being overly self-conscious. This can, however, be overcomed, but it takes time, effort and consistency.

When you constantly begin to question yourself based on how people comment on you, you are heading down a path where redemption will be hard to attain.
QUICK STEPS TO HELP YOU TRULY EMBRACE YOURSELF
- Be proud of who you are.
- Accept your physique and be glad to flaunt it.
- Nobody is you or can be you. Even twins born on the same day and time have their individual peculiarities. Like fingerprints are different, DNA strands bear different percentages; so are people different.
- Words go a long way to affect our mentality. So instead of listening to other people and ruminating on what they say, start telling yourself how good you are, how wonderful and lovely you are. You are peculiar
