Body positivity is the idea that all bodies are good bodies. Body positivity is a social movement focused on empowering individuals regardless of their physical weight, size while also challenging how society presents and views the physical body.

For many decades we have seen that movies, shows and society have idolised and accepted certain body types involving how thin a body should be, but the idea of a perfect body like celebrities has influenced the mindset of people which has affected the confidence of those who do not fit into the criteria of perfect body type. The expectation of having a body that is admired by others can lead one to dissatisfaction, bad mental health and eating disorders!!

So the idea of body positivity came to empower individuals regardless of their physical appearance. The movement encourages that body does not fit into any mould and every body type should be accepted and one should celebrate and appreciate it. These campaigns and movements have brought some change to society. Now people have started to change the long-held beliefs of society. Many activists are making people aware of the issue that is framed in the mindset of society, resulting in many big designers have started their range of clothing in plus sizes and making plus-size models walk the ramp.

There is also a misconception that body positivity means being lazy, promoting an unhealthy lifestyle which is not true. Instead, it means everyone is worthy of love and respect however if you know you have poor health the ultimate form of self-love is taking accountability for your body and taking the initiative to live a healthy life.

So, stop being harsh on yourself it's okay to have bad days and criticise yourself on some days but feeling dissatisfied and harming your self-esteem is not okay. It's enough of generalising everybody in the conventional beauty standards of society. So, say it out loud you are pretty, you are amazing and you are all the things you ever wanted to be because it's you and nobody can be you!
