Our bodies our lives!!
Australians in the forefront of creating positive body image. Positive body image is a focal point in today’s society and in many ways people all over the world are trying to creatively address it.
This past weekend, Western Australian took to Swanbourne Beach in an attempt to beat the World Record of skinny-dipping and it got very close with the bid falling only 73 people short of the Guinness Book of World Records mark of 744. Awesome turn out!
Sydney siders and Melbournians equally had a chance these past two weekends to participate on the World Naked Bike Ride, “As Bare As You Dare”, which raises awareness for a perplexing array of issues, one being positive body issues. Hundreds of naked or semi-naked participants took to the roads and bike rode through the streets to show their support.
Without going in too much depth on the consequences of negative body images have in our daily lives. It suffices to say that these negative attitudes have detrimental effects on how we see ourselves, how it affects our enjoyment of life, our relationships and our sex lives.
Nothing should rob us of the pleasure to use our bodies regardless of shape and size to do things we love and enjoy. All bodies have good and bad. Once you feel comfortable in your own skin, you become more appealing to others. You radiate confidence, happiness and demonstrate self-respect, qualities that are great aphrodisiacs. Let’s forget our hang-ups and be free, be happy and be who you are.
Leave you with a quirky and simplistic tale of ‘Sam who struggles with how his body looks’ and finds out that he can do so many things with his body that bring him joy once he lets go of the constant worry of how his body is supposed to look. Worthwhile viewing:
Have body issues in the past stopped you from enjoying yourself? Or have you come across someone too worried about their looks to enjoy themselves?

A friend of mine took part - and loved it! And I loved that he took every ounce of pleasure out of it. An inspiration!
