I love that
book,thank you to recommend that book to me Bodhi yoga one of the
passage that I really love from this book is “Radical self-love is not a
destination you are trying to get to it is who you already are.and it is
already working tirelessly to guide your life “ it’s a reflection of
so many people in their early times loving their body their self no matter what
and when what so called beauty standard that build by media and capitalist
system that make us really challenge to even love yourself but just remember to
comeback and say to yourself I love you and you are enough
And also another
passage of this book “These political,economic and Social issues are about our
bodies.They intersect with our race,age,gender,ability,sexual orientation and a
multitude of other ways our bodies exist” I find so many issue just because
other people have different race for example is what happen to my own country
Indonesia,Papua they get racist comment such as you look like a monkey,your
skin colour is dark a lot of papua people protesting about that because they
have been discriminated for so long,colonialized even from their own country
their precious land get stolen,people get killed in the name of economic
opportunity and different races.
One of the
question in the book is “can you recall an occasion when you compared yourself
to someone ? how did the comparison impact your self-esteem and self-confidence
? how did it impact your ideas about the other person ?” I compare myself to
other people a lot of times even almost everyday,my physical body is quite fit
into “beauty standard” because of my genetics and lifestyle but I always never
feel enough and really loved my body my skin is dark and most of the times
around my country the beauty standard is “white skin colour” I try to make my
skin more bright so many times buying a lot of nonsense and waste product just
so I can more fit into beauty standard and looking back I realize if I already
practice radical self love back then I don’t have to do all of that nonsense
doing face mask everyday buying the papaya soap,try lemon to my skin that at
end makes my skin irritate,I have a dark chocolate skin colour and its totally
okay I am still beautiful and I am enough and worthy enough to feel,be and get
loved.
Let's just stop
apologize for our body and let's celebrate and love our body.
With Love
Peni
