Posh & Co Advocates Body Positivity

Updated: Apr 3



Body Positivity

Men and women both deal with insecurities about looks, specifically on body structure. We’re made to believe that we should be sexy, fit, or masculine for us to belong to the hall of fame. That the standard of beauty is the imagery we can see on the internet. These portrayals of perfection are unrealistic, resulting in negativities such as feelings of discontent and self-doubt. Body positivity means accepting our reflection in the mirror, treating ourselves with kindness, and improving our physical health to feel more confident. 


Understanding Body Positivity

Let’s begin with thanking our body for what it does for us each day. Body positivity is after all about appreciating how we are without judgment or criticism. It's recognizing that beauty comes in all or any shapes, sizes, and colors. It’s understanding that there's no "ideal" body type like what the world tells us. When we embrace body positivity, we free ourselves from the sickening societal beauty standards and we learn to celebrate the qualities that make us unique.


Challenging Beauty Standards

Societal norms in appearance, attire, and conduct puts pressure on people to act according to stereotypes. Individuals tend to join the bandwagon to gain the approval of others. This becomes a phenomenon where people become conscious to the extent that it causes one to feel inadequate and lowers morale. However, by challenging the status quo, we redefine beauty on our own terms. Accepting human differences teaches us fulfillment and love for authenticity..


Self-Care = Self-Love

Self-love is essential for body positivity, and the simplest way to achieve this is by prioritizing our overall well-being. It's about treating ourselves with utmost care and kindness. It can be a form of relaxation, nutritious food intake, and enjoying good habits. In addition, putting first our mental and emotional state benefits our physical well-being. It’s like a domino effect that works wonders to our body when it becomes a part of our routine. When we practice self-care, we cultivate a deep sense of worthiness that leads to undeniable self-love.


Overcoming Insecurities

Learning to overcome our body insecurities is key to unlocking confidence. Instead of focusing on our perceived flaws or imperfections, shifting our mindset towards gratitude brings about greater rewards to our overall well-being. We become more optimistic about life and everything that comes with it. We then live life to the fullest and value our God-given uniqueness. We start to attract all the good things and together, we grow with it.


Body Positivity in Fashion

Fashion is a powerful form of self-expression which makes us feel comfortable and boosts confidence. The good news is comfort and style can go together. Lots of style is available for all types of personalities, whether you’re collected or outgoing. Being skinny or thick is also no longer an issue these days, thanks to fashion! Over time, people became more open to topics on individuality and inclusivity. No matter what size, color, or shape, you can be and you are beautiful without a doubt. You just have to like yourself first.


Posh & Co for Body Positivity

Embracing body positivity requires courage, self-compassion, and vulnerability. Remember, true style comes from within, and confidence is the best accessory we can wear. Together, let’s challenge the beauty norms, practice self-love and self-care, take off insecurities, and embrace fashion for self-expression. May we all shine on as we embrace diversity with a greater purpose. With Posh & Co, you are beautiful just as you are!
