How To Accept Your Looks And Yourself

  • In today's video I talk about how to accept your looks and yourself, because I used to pick myself apart, and thought I had a lot of flaws that made me feel super insecure about myself. I felt like I had to hide.
    But I had a breakthrough that changed the way I looked at myself, and I began to see myself differently. I shared my breakthrough with you and I hope it helps you accept and love yourself too! :)
    My breakthrough helped me see the world differently too, my life began to change in the best possible way, I even attracted my dream man into my life about two months after this breakthrough. Because it starts with our relationship with ourselves! ;)
    I also shared one hack on how I became more accepting of myself, and how I reprogrammed my negative beliefs into positive beliefs. All this made me the confident woman I am today!
    If you think there's something wrong with you, then I hope this video can help you accept and love yourself!

      I think it’s common to feel this way, but it’s conditioned in us by our surroundings and has nothing to do with who we really are. I’d invite you to tune into my Clearly Aligned podcast (available on all major podcasting platforms) because I think it would help you shift and see yourself as the perfectly beautiful creature that you already are and have always been. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    For me it was someone saying something was wrong with me, and then I thought there actually was something wrong. I was told all my teen life that I was way too thin & that I should eat a burger. Today, the people that said those horrible things to me, actually look like they have eaten too many burgers. You have amazing advice, I wish I found you sooner!

    I am currently going through exactly what you described. At 41 years old, I have come to realize I have been trying to “fix” something about myself for years! I have never really loved myself for who I am. Thankfully this hasn’t stopped me from living... but I am now in therapy in order to learn to live and accept myself the way I am instead of always trying to change something or be someone else. Thank you for sharing your story!

    I always come back to this when I get low self esteem and start to feel ugly Thanks! I used to think that my problem was acne (even if I used to have perfect skin and my "acne" is very minimal. I get OCD about my skin but looking back I realize that the problem wasn't my pimples, it's always something deeper. Because even with clean skin I complain about my hair, my lips (I got lip injection but I want them bigger), my teeth (are a little crooked so I will get braces), my eyes. I always find something in my appearance that I keep complaining about. Why is that Olena? Everyone says I'm beautiful even strangers. So what's my problem?I realize There is something inside that need to change. It's been like that my whoooole life. I compare myself to woman on social media. What is weird is that I can be confident during like 6 months and feel beautiful and not caring much about my looks and then out of the blue those insecurities come back. My sister got plastic surgery and she got a big butt and boobs and I feel less than. Help please :(

    I am 14 and i have the same problem i dont like how my skin looks,my big cheeks and my nose its really awful because i always try to hide them like i always wear a mask not only because corona but because i feel insecure about my nose and my big cheeks its usually that someone points that thing out even if it is a joke i begin feeling insecure about that thing. I never actually felt insecure about my nose except when an ex friend pointed that my nose is big i never thought it was big before that i really wanna stop that and love myself but i cant i want to but everytime i look in the mirror i wish i looked like that or like that so yeah Just everytime i hear someone make a joke about me or about someone else i feel more insecure about more things but i cant tell them not to do that because even my family does that and i am too shy to confront people sometimes espically when they are close to me but i will try my Best to love my self

    • @OlenaBeley
      @OlenaBeley  3 роки тому +3

      Oh dear, your ex friend doesn't sound very nice. We can't allow people's opinions, perceptions, or insecurities to colour our own...Your ex friend could have been insecure about her own nose, and made the comment to feel better about herself. Your opinion of yourself has to be the most important and it can't depend on your nose. There's more to you than your appearance, and it's important to focus on cultivating an awesome character and personality as you grow up to be an amazing human being. 😉
      In any case, humans have different noses and that's awesome! It makes us unique! I know right now, everyone is using filters to make their noses all look the same, but that's boring and not real. 😅💓

    Some reflections:
    1) When I look at people I think "you are all beautiful in your own ways" ... so that means there's more than one way to be beautiful. So I can be beautiful too
    2) I find that how I think I look correlates with how I feel about myself, morally. "Am I good enough?" "Am I kind, honest, helpful, strong, smart, etc.?" I am but I really tie how other people treat me to if I'm a good person or not - when it's really a reflection of them. I need to a) dismantle thinking that the world is a meritocracy 2) surround myself with supportive and uplifting people

    Girllllllll I relate to this so much. I have a very very very similar story to yours. Literally exactly identical to yours. Currently the obsession im overcoming is this fear of marionette lines which don’t even exist to everyone else, but myself. I feel like the more I think about it, the more my face muscles actually pull back to create them…. But when I don’t even give them a thought, they are t even there. Thankyou for your bravery. I know it’s not easy to put yourself out there with the stuff you’ve struggled with on line as people can be dicks… as seen in the comment section.

    i really relate to this video. i have been my worst critic almost my entire life. it has taken me to now - 34 - to finally accept myself. it hasn't helped having a very traumatic relationship recently and being cheated on a lot. i think you just have to get to a place where you love yourself, even though it's so difficult, and not care what others think of you. as soon as i started feeling that way, so much more in my life aligned in a beautiful way x

    I just wanna look like what is socially beautiful. I wanna fit the beauty standard of this world.i have acnes, i have body hair, I hate my nose. All that due to comparison, due to comparing myself with women who fits the beauty standards .
    Wait 😂 while writing how I feel, a realization came to me.
    I realized that there’s not actually a definition of beauty, that beauty is not just one thing, beauty is everything, we’re all actually beautiful.
    All of us just have our own unique beauty.
    Most of these girls on social media just pluck their eyebrows, shave their body hair, put makeup on, go to the gym, use filters, fake hair, fake eyelashes, ect.... we can all look beautiful if we take care of ourselves physically, I realized that we women can feel more confident about our appearance when we indulge in self care.

    • @OlenaBeley
      @OlenaBeley  Рік тому

      Haha, I love that you had this realization!!!
      That's exactly it, there's no universal measuring stick for beauty...It changes from culture to culture, time, mood, etc.
      Marketing does a great job at emphasizing how we don't meet some made-up standard so that we feel bad and then buy a bunch of stuff to try to change ourselves. We have to stop falling for it!
      And yes, good grooming makes a huge difference in our appearance for sure -- for example, celebrities are regular people with impeccable grooming (with a team of people making sure they look their best).
      Think of good grooming as done vs. undone hair -- when you hair is done, it looks great. When it's undone, it's not that it looks bad, it's just not done.
      A lot of us feel bad about ourselves because we are comparing our undone selves to someone's done self, and that's an unfair comparison.
      So putting it a bit of effort can make us look a bit more put together, but it doesn't have to be an obsession either! :)

    I am actually so unhappy with my nose since I've been 12 (now I am 24 and things haven't changed). Its very crooked from the side profile and people have told me that I have a big nose in high school so I actually dont think that I've made it up when there's other people who told me my nose was huge without me asking them. On the other hand, a lot of people have asked me if I am modeling because I have a very interesting and defined face. And now I feel there are so many different perceptions of what I look like that I feel I actually don't know if I am pretty or not.
    My question to you is have you actually been told that your skin/thighs etc are "wrong" or "ugly" or did you really make everything up by yourself?

    Please can you help me?…..I’m struggling to grasp the aspect of acceptance ……not many people have managed to answer and say exactly how you accept something ……..it seems to be just “-accept yourself “ ….how? I understand you have mentioned phrases to say to yourself but I really haven’t found this to help at all over the years

    • @OlenaBeley
      @OlenaBeley  Рік тому

      I think the key with acceptance is, you should accept things you CANNOT change, but you don't have to accept things you CAN change.
      For example, I can't change my height, or the fact that I have pores, and I certainly can't change other people or how they feel about me.
      I can however, change how I look at my height or my pores, and how I respond to other people.
      Things we can change are our thoughts/perception, how we respond to things, our actions, our habits...
      The issue arrises when we can't accept things we can't change (like when we try to force people to be the way we want them to be), or accept things that we can or should change (like say how we manage our anger, our negative self-talk, etc.).
      Another issue with the popular narrative about acceptance is that people use it interchangeably with like or LOVE. Me accepting certain things about myself that I don't really like doesn't mean I like those things.
      They just exist, and that's okay.
      We can just be aware of our positive and negative traits, and do our best with what we've got. We can't possibly be expected to like or accept every single thing about ourselves, that's probably mentally unhealthy.
      Somethings we'll accept, somethings we'll want to change, but again, the key is not to get obsessed with things we cannot change.

      I used to hate my super thin eyebrows because i think they're almost invisible 😂 And feel super insecure about it. Draw them with eyebrow pencil for years. But now i already accept my eyebrows and feel confident about them. I only draw my eyebrows because i want to, not because i have to. I only put some sunscreen, lip cream and some loose powder and ready for the day. It takes time to get this point.. And also discovering Olena's channel is a gift from the universe. Thank God.

    You emphasized how you just had to realize that all of your insecurities weren't true all along and that you were misinterpreting yourself. Well some of us have insecurities that seriously are true and do exist on our bodies/appearance. For example I hate how my face is asymmetrical. I can't just "realize it's all in my head" because the truth is it's not all in my head. It's a fact and some people have something similar like obesity. What would you do in this case if your insecurities are actually reality?
