Accept the Wabi Sabi Version of Yourself Girl

Hey!! Good day, everyone! Prepare your Wabi-Sabi version to show off! Do you recall the last time you went through your cell phone's photos and edited them to make them appear nicer? You will claim that you practically always do that, but nobody makes a big deal out of it. Of course, altering and using technology has no negative effects either. It's okay, gals; my issue is with our perspective. Why do we strive for perfection? Why do we strive for perfection when we think and behave? Are we fixated on the idea that how we look on social media matters? If the answer is yes, you are undoubtedly overthinking.

Thinking - Is It Over Yet? Overthinking is commonly thought to be the phenomenon of inventing and conjuring problems that do not exist in reality. People suffer from a variety of diseases, but the sickness of overthinking, in my opinion, destroys everything - from contentment to peace of mind. Acting can get tricky. Come on, there's no harm in admitting it; most of us overthink, which is fine up to a point, but be aware galz, when we overthink, our judgement becomes clouded and our stress levels rise. Do you believe there is a narrow line between a reasonable amount of thinking and too intricate cognitive processes?

O Womaniya!

We as women love to look perfect especially when it comes to our face and figure. To flaunt oneself on social media is the norm these days. We leave no stone unturned to make our face look smooth and perfect without freckles. We switch on to starve and exercise a lot to maintain our figure and please the man of our dreams. Furthermore, in addition, we often use filters to look spotless and charming.

But you know what? During the execution of all these activities, our thought process is always on. We start overthinking and as a result, spend too much time in being negative. Unconsciously, we may suffer this “disease” because we aren’t geared up for welcoming the wonderful thoughts in our minds. Our inability to accept the real version of our own selves is the root cause.

The earful we get........

For eons we have been told as women that this is what we should look like and this is the standard of beauty we need to follow. We are brought up with the mindset of being the best to deserve the best. We spent so much time being negative and elbowing each other out of the way sometimes also pulling each other down.

We act according to our thought process but wait...

Can we for a second love ourselves for the way we are, and not indulge in self-doubt or self-hate of our soul?

Can we stop berating ourselves; there are enough people to do that to us.

It all starts with you........ The best method to love yourself and distance yourself from this sickness of overthinking is to train yourself to believe, to let go of what we can't alter, and to understand that acting out of overthinking is not the solution. Beauty, after all, is in the eyes of the beholder. Distraction towards happiness by taking time away from racing thoughts; abandoning being a perfectionist in favour of providing your best and facing failures are some of the most effective approaches to combat the problem. Let's accept the Wabi-Sabi version of ourselves and stop treating ourselves as second-class citizens. Keep the three I's of Wabi-Sabi in mind (Imperfect, Incomplete and Impermanent). Don't overthink it; first and foremost, love your soul!
