Do I Have a Problem with Body Image?

Now more than ever, many teenagers have problems with how they look. They have developed the habit of condemning the vessel that protects their being and coordinates all their doings. A home for their mind and emotional well-being. If you are not content with your physical appearance and cannot accept how you look, you may have a problem with body image.

What causes issues with body image?

The main cause for body image issues is the media, especially social media. Much of the media is designed to sell something or shape your thinking. Advertisers frequently use “beautiful people” to get you to buy products and services. Then your perfectionist human brain starts to compare yourself to what you see in the media.

In addition to Depression, Loneliness, Low self-esteem, and other mental health issues.

What causes teenagers to procrastinate?

Teenagers procrastinate because they are human beings. Human brains are naturally wired to avoid undesirable situations and move toward enjoyable ones. Our natural tendency is to do what feels comfortable and enjoyable and avoid what appears to be unpleasant, difficult, or boring.

What is Procrastination?

Do you have a habit of putting off what you need to do? Do you tend to wait till the last minute before you take care of your responsibilities? If this is true for you, you may be procrastinating.

Is procrastination common?

Yes, we all procrastinate at one time or another. When it becomes a habit, procrastination can become a problem for anyone and, more so, for young people learning to manage their minds.

Why should I care if I procrastinate?

The habit of procrastinating is a well-being issue. It has been connected to #mybrainsaid stress, anxiety, insecurity, and doubts. Also, procrastinating complicates a young mind. Contributing to a tough teenage life, making you feel depressed and tired. When you continually put off things, they build up with time. The cost of this can greatly impact young lives.

How can I overcome procrastination? Procrastinating has a negative attitude towards achieving your goals.

1. The first step is to challenge your negative #negativeBETs beliefs, expectations, and thoughts about what you want to achieve and take action.

2. Look long term instead of short term. Instead of focusing on the reasons why you do not feel like doing something, focus on what it will cost you if you do not do it.

3. Remember, activation before motivation. Taking a small step to engage in your activity will enable you to find a positive emotional state fuelling you towards making things happen.
