Am I aging according to my mirror?
First day: Yes
Second day: Just a little
After that: Not too bad.
The second you get out of the shower you immediately wrap a towel around your body before risking catching a glimpse of exposed flesh. If so, experts say you’re missing out on an important self-esteem booster.
Checking yourself out in the buff “desensitizes you to being so negative about your body,” clinical psychologist and body image expert Amy L. Flowers, PhD, tells Yahoo Health. “It normalizes the experience.”
It makes sense to do it — the mirror is usually right there — but most of us strain to avoid looking at our naked bodies.
Psychologist and body image expert Sari Shepphird, PhD, says there are two main reasons for that:
“We’re kind of trained in our society to think about the ways we can improve upon ourselves,” she says. “But the more we focus on our flaws, the more they’re magnified — and then we’re going to want to avoid looking at our bodies in general.”
- We tend to zero in on our flaws instead of our assets.
- We naturally compare ourselves with others.
