If altering your appearance boosts your happiness and self-esteem, the two can live in harmony, says Alex Light.
December 16, 2022 - 09:58 GMT Alex Light I've thought a lot about whether changing your body can co-exist with body acceptance, because there appears to be a very clear paradox: how can you accept your body yet want it to look different?It does, admittedly, scream contradiction.
It's a form of self-care that makes me feel good about myself. As well as affording compassion, we need to respect bodily autonomy: getting any kind of treatment is an individual's choice. But even if the answer boils down to you simply wanting to fit a standard of beauty, that's still okay. Even if that's your reason and you also consider yourself to be body positive, that's still okay.
