Body Image workshop

RNIS was invited to this workshop by RMIT Queer Department
As part of Bupa's best blog competition for 2015

The RMIT Queer Space is a safe space and no one is being judged here. You are beautiful just the way you are.


Self perceptions
"Our self perceptions are harsh"
This is about self love.

"What did I think about of him who is deeply ashamed about himself?" There are people who are happy to be themselves. Some of them are so deeply deeply unhappy and some who are ok. His image had suddenly changed. He was more confident

Its not like what we look like it is about the way we see ourselves from the inside. We need to change our beliefs about ourselves. My self image is a woman and it is the most peaceful and joyful thing in the world. What is inside our hearts is what matters. Sometimes you don't have to do the big things to make a difference. It is the smaller things

Your thoughts is what you perceive of the world- you decided that you have a bad day. Perception is everything. Think about the important people and the way how you feel about them. Eg your mum/dad overseas. Who you feel deeply appreciative of. What can you give them which is pure and that they will appreciate and enhance. It has to be something that you want to give them.


Being negative
People expect everything to be perfect and some people compare themsleves to others. Some people think that other people is better. Our ideas are very perfect, i.e models. Models are airbrushed to make them look pretty in the media.

Self esteem and acceptance
Do you accept yourself for who are? How would you rate yourself? Confidence comes from acceptance. I have accepted myself.

Many thanks to RUSU Queer Department for the invite
