01/08/2017 Deze app is het meest schadelijk voor je mentale gezondheid Het is niet nieuw om te stellen dat sociale media en mentale gezondheid een ietwat complexe relatie hebben met elkaar. Of deze platformen ons een goed of slecht gevoel geven, verschilt sowieso van dag tot dag. Eén groot minpunt is alvast het feit dat je je leven veel rooskleuriger kunt laten lijken dan het in werkelijkheid is. Gevolg: mensen krijgen een compleet verkeerd beeld van het leven van anderen en kunnen hierdoor een slecht gevoel krijgen wat betreft hun eigen leventje. Zonde! De UK Royal Society for Public Health deed recent een onderzoek bij mensen tussen de 14 en de 23 om zo een idee te krijgen omtrent hun ervaringen met Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram en Snapchat. Wat bleek? Instagram heeft het meest deprimerende effect en dan vooral op jonge vrouwen. Het beste sociale mediakanaal is dan weer YouTube. Dringend tijd dus om lekker met z'n allen wat YouTubefilmpjes te bingewatchen. Bloggers en influencers lijken zich de laatste tijd echter meer en meer bewust van de negatieve invloed van instagram. Al maar meer van hen tonen nu dan ook the real thing en geven ons een kijkje in hoe ze hun foto's bewerken met voor-en na beelden. I used to think my posed body made me more... Worthy of love. Worthy of happiness. Worthy of a good life. Worthy of friends. Worthy of self love. . I hoped and wished for my body to look forever 'posed' my glorious stomach sucked in, my boobs forever perky, my back forever arched, booty forever popping. . I've slowly come to acknowledge that HEY my body is damn beautiful at all angles, unflexed, unposed, unfiltered, just raw and natural me is enough and JUST AS WORTHY!!! . We get an 'idealistic' image of what we 'should' look like forced onto us daily. Images of slim, white, 'healthy', able bodied, toned, blemish/scar free etc etc etc and we desire and wish to look that way because... well, why?!? . WHY DO WE LET THEM UNDER OUR PERFECT SKIN!!!! NAHHH BOO. . You are perfect. You're perfect if you never looked toned. You are perfect if your body doesn't change in different angles. You're perfect if it does. Your perfect regardless of ANY aesthetic differences... You're just BOMB AF and NOONE can change that! . . Jeez for those speculating my tattoo is diff because I was facing the other damn way so I flipped the pic... Lordy!

Because sometimes I feel like all my booty gains are gone when I take photos where it looks smaller, but then I remember that I shouldn't compare my body to theirs. I have a great booty and so do they! It's all about posing/angles and nobody looks like that all the time. There's nothing wrong with posting a good photo of your booty, you should post it if you feel like it! Just remember that when you're scrolling through social media and see all the posed bums that you too have a great bum and that nobody looks like that 24/7 ☺️ It seems like big butts are the thing that so many people want currently. But remember that you don't need a big booty to be beautiful. All butts are good butts ☺️ All of our bodies are different and you don't need a specific body type to fit into what society defines as beautiful!! It's stressful and so messed up that body parts and types are going in and out of style- before it was being really thin, now it's having a big booty. That shouldn't be a thing. It causes so much stress and self hate to people who do not have these things. I know it's hard but instead of trying to obtain these things, love how you look now. Not how you'll look if you loose X amount of weight or get a bigger booty. Because trust me when you get to those things you'll just want something more. Be comfortable in your own skin no matter what angle, posed or unposed, and you'll radiate beauty! 🌴☀️ ------------------------------------------ . . . #bopowarrior #bootypop #allbodiesaregoodbodies #bootyfordays #bootybuilding #instagramvsreallife #beforeafter #selfconfidence #youareyou #dontchange #acceptyourself #bodypositive #lawofattraction #everyoneisbeautiful #selflove #bepresent #findyourself #dontcare #cellulite #effyourbeautystandards Een bericht gedeeld door Sara Puhto (@saggysara) op 27 Jul 2017 om 3:26 PDT Category Studentennieuws
