It's Time To Be Your Best Version Of Yourself

Every single day, we are bombarded by images in the media that tell us that we are somehow "not good enough." We're told that we need to look like certain people, dress a certain way, be thinner, have clearer skin, and make all kinds of changes in order to fit better with what society expects of us. However, the truth is that there's only one person that you really need to factor in when you're attempting to decide what you want to do and how you want to look: yourself. Rather than letting the world tell you that you need to be someone else in order to have value, instead you should focus on being the version of yourself that you can be truly happy with. With that in mind, here are some ways to start being the very best version of yourself.
Change the things you can
One of the most important things to learn is the difference between the things that society wants you to change about yourself and the things that you want to change. After all, there's nothing wrong with wanting to better yourself, you've just got to do it for the right reasons. If you find yourself watching tummy tuck videos and you're tempted by them, think about whether it's because it's something that you want or because you feel like it will change the way the world sees you. If it's the second option that you might want to be careful because there's a good chance that there is no procedure in the world that will make you feel better about yourself if you're doing it for the sake of societies approval.   
Accept the things you can't
Of course, there are going to be things about yourself that you simply cannot change no matter what you do. Rather than spending all of your time feeling bad about yourself and wanting to change them, it's much better to try and come to terms with them. If it's something about how you look, one of the best things that you can do is to embrace the selfie. By being able to dictate the angles, lighting, and filters that you use, you're going to be in a position to get to know your face on your own terms. It might seem strange, but the boost that doing this can provide your self-esteem is pretty remarkable. The same thing goes for being able to look in the mirror and pick out things that you like about yourself, rather than focusing all of your energy on things that you want to change.​
Now, you might think that some of the advice here seems a little contradictory. After, some of it says to change things about yourself and some of it says to stay the same. However, the important thing to take away isn't what you should or shouldn't do with your life and your body. The important thing is that whatever you do should be entirely your own choice and that you shouldn't let anyone else tell you what you should or shouldn't do with your body.
