The most interesting thing regarding being human is uniqueness in diversity, no two people are the same, perhaps similar, but never identical. However, there is a determination to copy the imposed similarity. The single discourse, the single truth and the hegemonic bodies are destroying the beauty of the singular, of the diverse; the differences that differentiate us.
Ways of being and being are promoted, serial beings managed by the interests of the market of desires. Thus, human existence is being shaped by the ideologies of the time that make fashionable not only clothes but also ideas, such as bodies: curves, lips and breasts. However, if we do not accept diversity we do not accept humanity.
Well-being implies a psychophysical balance, and although it is not simple, and even less so in times where immediacy is imposed, it is essential to find that harmony because it is known that the body and mind influence and feed each other whether for health or illness. In a very skinny or very fat body there is an imbalance that affects daily life and, of course, the psycho-emotional field.
In the first instance it is important to investigate the reasons for this imbalance. Once any mental pathology or biological disease has been ruled out, it is necessary to analyze whether this alteration is not a consequence of being behind responding to the imposed beauty imperatives, achieving the mandate of the fashionable body.
Self-esteem: what you think regarding yourself is more important than you think
Prioritizing well-being, a healthy life, is recognizing that the body is not just a container or an image in the mirror; We inhabit a body that is also psychoemotional. Like the Mobius strip, the inside and the outside are interconnected.
When the first symptoms appear, whether physical or mental, it is the possibility to rethink how we are living. It is often heard: “I can’t stop eating because I’m anxious.” “I am distraught and my stomach is closing.” “I don’t even want to look in the mirror anymore.” “I don’t want to take my shirt off in front of anyone.”
Questions, concerns, doubts, physical and emotional discomforts that translate into symptoms; symptoms that are signs that indicate, that propose to take care of ourselves before it is too late and health suffers more.
Get out of the matrix and reach the best version of our being
From social networks, in advertisements and mass media there is imposed aesthetic violence. Fatphobia, idealization of skinny, young and white bodies, similar lips, tails and breasts; formats installed from discourses and practices, explicit and implicit, that They discriminate once morest anyone who does not have the socially “idealized” body.entity, the established standard of beauty.
Discrimination is the starting point of increasingly cruel violent practices. When discrimination occurs, the victim becomes isolated, feels unloved or unwanted, therefore their self-esteem decreases, thus building an insecure personality.
And damaged your mental health, It can lead to two types of responses: Self-aggressive: some type of addiction, self-harm, and to an extreme degree, suicide; that is, an attack on himself. Or, the other possible response, to make active the abuse suffered, to become an aggressive being, to harm others.
Bullying doesn’t solve itself
In adult victims of any type of abuse, in principle it is recommended to speak with the person who is abusing, and if it does not resolve, tell someone you trust what you are suffering and evaluate the possibility of reporting.
Silence is an accomplice to the violent and makes it easier for violence to grow in intensity. It is essential to understand that discrimination It often begins in a subtle way, like a “joke.”in the speeches and acts of daily life, and can end in increasingly violent ways.
Silvina Luna: beauty and death
When abuse occurs during childhood, what has been suffered can appear in various ways, in games and drawings, or in psychophysical symptoms and regressions in the achievements achieved; substitutes for words that girls and boys do not know or cannot express. And the healing path will depend on adults who have the ability to detect these alternative expressions in time.
And what is the solution? On the one hand, denounce these ideologies, dismantle all aesthetic violence that tries to impose what a “beautiful” body is and where desires should go. And on the other, work seriously with the singular, with self-esteem, with the recognition of one’s own body, emotions and thoughts.
Work that will lead to what is most important, to self-knowledge and therefore to acceptance, which does not mean resignationOn the contrary, it is regarding finding and maintain a psychophysical balanceor, a harmony that will never be definitive but a product of observance, of personal cultivation, of loving and constant attention to our daily being.
