This was shown in a unique study that asked people questionnaires about life satisfaction and body satisfaction. One half were given the body satisfaction questionnaire first and the other answered the life satisfaction questionnaire first.
Those who were initially asked about their body satisfaction showed a greater variance in terms of life satisfaction. This means that if a participant was satisfied with their appearance, they were more likely to report a higher level of satisfaction with their life.
But if a participant was not satisfied with their appearance, they gave a more negative assessment when it came to their life satisfaction. On the other hand, if you think about something that you like about yourself or your life, it can make you feel better about your life in general. So as hard as might be, if you catch yourself thinking about your appearance, try to disrupt those thoughts and shift your mind to other things. The less you can think about how ugly you might be, the less it will bring you down and the more positive you can remain about your life as a whole.
In fact, if you can practice gratitude each day and think about some of the things that you are truly thankful for, it can help you maintain a more positive outlook on life. This section is mainly for those readers who are young and whose body and faces may still be changing at quite a rapid rate. With hormones raging through our bodies, we may have bad skin, acne, growth spurts, weight changes, early or delayed development of the body….
And those same hormones can take our mood from high to low in an instant. This can make us feel worse about our appearance than we might otherwise do. Heck, just look at some of these examples of people who have come through this phase. And if you do grow up to be less attractive than your peers, you might want to remember that there are….
And in comparison to others, you might even gain some ground in the beauty stakes. They know damned well that you have more about you if you have managed to succeed in life. Big name brands and the latest trends that cost the earth are just not worth bothering with. You can buy clothes that YOU feel comfortable in. In doubt? You can look beyond the appearance of other people.
No one, except maybe supermodels, will win, however, if we define beauty as just one point on the end of a continuum with ugliness at the other. I talk to a lot of school groups about appearance and disability issues. Questions from our kids about appearance matter. They are naturally curious about things that appear unusual. Engaging kids in their genuine curiosity will encourage them to stay curious and remain accepting their entire lives.
If you try to separate me from my scars before even engaging me in a discussion about the issue, I may as well have never existed in the first place. Contact us at letters time.
