Stumbling on this edition of the engagement, I was a bit confused but after going through it over and over again I got few ideas on what to share. This is the first Friday in the month of September and it has been an amazing moment. I want to celebrate everyone especially the management for their efforts in ensuring consistency in the delivery of the prompt. For all of us dropping our input, I really want to appreciate us.
The subject for discussion is on body positivity. This entails a situation where one tries to promote himself. In the nutshell, I would say body positivity is self centered where one considers himself of more advantage than others based on certain factors. Some of these factors might be due to appearance,size,weight or shape. All these makes an individual depend more on strength, or beauty etc. How one makes himself appreciative or presentable.
Bodypositivity has made people gained the courage to acknowledge what they have no matter how they look like. For instance scars, marks on the body, the nature of skin, their shape that makes them different from other. Body positivity helps one accept who he is because all things happened together for good to them that loves God. This would help one not to compare with others. You're the way you are because of the kind of destiny that God has prepared for you. You're uniquely made therefore appreciate what you have. You just have to be positive about who you are however that doesn't means is absolute.
Body positivity improves relationships and empowers one. You're in charge of your body hence you have the absolute control to use it the way it ought to be. Body positivity could also help to reduce the rate of mental disorder and any form of anxiety. I could remember a lady that wanted to commit suicide because she felt life means nothing to her. People don't appreciate her neither does she receives gifts from people because of her biological makeup. People hardly associate with her and this made her went through lots of traumatic situations.
To have balance one must learn to absorb both the positive and negative perspectives of the body. The fact that you accept your body with positive mindset doesn't mean that you should accept everything. There are certain things that one can create balance or adjust to become relevant in the society.
A friend of mine had a potbelly and looks very fat. This has become a great challenge for him because he found it difficult to do certain things. During heat season, it's not easy on him to manage the body change because he's not comfortable with his size and belly. The other time for him to board a vehicle was a challenge because he occupied more space that supposed to be for two passengers. He had to pay for that space because he's fatter than other people. He wasn't comfortable with that therefore he had to go for some exercise and dieting to have a balanced system.
Thanks for reading and I appreciate all comments.
