How would you feel if I suggested that we live on a media roundabout,on which we are constantly being fed information such as.....this is good for you, this is bad for you.....try x and y will happen......go here ....don´ t go there....... watch this...listen to to that.....read this....don´t read this......study this......don´t study that.....eat this...don´t eat that....wear this......dont wear that....the list is ENDLESS and I could go on and on...
Would you agree that this could give us ALL hang ups! I imagine we realise DEEP DOWN that everything we read in the press, watch on the television or listen to on the radio is normally all down to a marketing campaign that someone´ s come up with. They probably do this in order to either make us spend money on their products or services or conform to their values.
However the issue is not that we should fall for this propaganda, it´s that we should constantly be reminding ourselves that NO ONE has the right to criticise, judge or disrespect us....even by IMPLICATION!
May I suggest to you that we are ALL a work in progress!
Imagine choosing NOT to read all the fashion articles which imply that we are too fat, too thin, have the wrong style of hair......How would you feel about choosing NOT to watch the news which mostly only feeds us depressing stories about what s happening in the world - or choosing to swtIch off from the documentaries about air disasters or health problems!!
Wouldn't it be great to watch, read and listen ONLY to things which make us feel FANTASTIC and to commit to doing things which only make us feel GREAT. Don´t you agree we should give ourselves loads of CREDIT for just being how we are!!
Sooo....try and visualise that we are all MAGNETS!! If we took a magnet and made it look as ugly as we could....that magnet wouldn't repel anything would it? It would still keep ATTRACTING the things its supposed to....you see changing the OUTSIDE of the magnet doesn´t actually change the INSIDE of it!! It s what´ s INSIDE of us that attracts others to us!!
That s the same for you, me and anyone we meet!! Sooo.... let s give ourselves a chill pill!! Let s give ourselves a a break! Lets decide to to be content with who we are as an individual. Let´s focus on the inner us! That is what matters....knowing who you are, what your values are and being true to them!
