Have you ever thought about changing your appearance? Most of us have complained about
having a bad hair day or looking hideous in a photo. But experts say that becoming too obsessed
about our appearance can be bad for our health. Psychologist Sue Johnston explains:
Of course its natural for people to want to change the way they look have a new haircut, buy
something nice to wear to a party or make a good first impression at an interview, and many
women dont like to be seen without their make-up.
But the real problems start when people feel that theres something they cant change that makes
them feel unattractive. It may be sticking-out ears, an unusually-shaped nose, or perhaps they are
overweight. In serious cases this small thing can often take over their lives completely, making
them feel anxious about going out in public and making them depressed. In 2006 we did a Body
Image Survey to learn more about how people gain confidence in themselves. Below are a few
suggestions on how to feel good about yourself.
1 Think about your skills and talents. For example, focus on success at work, participating in
sports, and friendships. Once you realize that you can achieve your goals and have a happy, full
life, appearance will seem less important. If you do have negative feelings about your
appearance, try to do something positive like buying some new clothes or taking up a new
hobby.
2 Learn to accept that you are unique. Theres no one else in the world like you and that makes
you very special. Love the unusual things about yourself. If you hate your red hair because its
so different, then teach yourself to think about it as beautiful and exotic!
3 Forget about what you cant control. Theres one simple rule: be realistic, work on improving
what you can change, and dont spend time worrying about anything else.
4 Stop buying fashion magazines and comparing yourself to the models. This has a very negative
effect. Remember they dont look that good without a personal hairstylist, make-up artist and
computer-generated photography!
5 Finally, if you still feel depressed about the way you look, consider getting professional advice.
