Jean Kilbourne is asking us to take advertising seriously. The adds are everywhere, “in our face, all over the place”, yet we may think it has no effect on us.
Watch this insightful video and ask yourself how much marketing has affected you so far and how you can avoid identifying with your looks and find a more fulfilling and sustainable source of self-worth.
You are perfectly created and loved regardless of your looks, weight or body shape.
Why is this at times very difficult, specially for women, to believe?
Has adverstising and media affected us to that extent?
Has a lie or illusion been repeated to the extent we now mistake it for the truth?
Challenge yourself today to Love, Approve and Embrace yourself exactly how you are and how you aren’t!
Mirror exercise:
Stand naked in front of the mirror in your bathroom or bedroom. Look at yourself and look yourself in the eyes and say how much you love yourself.
Watch the resistance you may experience through “feeling bored, laughing, avoiding eye contact, avoiding the whole “silly exercise”, or through an unconvincing voice/tone.” and repeat a sincere “I love you” until you accept it and receive it in your heart. This can be a very healing and empowering exercise for you.
You are beautiful just as you are.
