That’s How Beauty Standards Are Cliché – Here’s Why It’s Time to Embrace Your Uniqueness

by Aug 1, 2017LIFESTYLE, English Article

From magazine covers to Instagram feeds, beauty standards have long dictated how we should look — slim waists, flawless skin, toned abs. But here’s the truth: these ideals are not only outdated — they’re cliché.

Real beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s as unique as your fingerprint.

And in 2025, it’s time we stop chasing perfection and start embracing authenticity. Whether you’re curvy, athletic, tall, petite, or anywhere in between — you are beautiful by default. And your journey to self-love and health should reflect that.

The Media’s Influence: A Distorted Mirror

The media plays a major role in shaping our perceptions of beauty. Over the decades, the “ideal body type” has shifted dramatically:

  • The hourglass figure of the 1950s
  • The waif-thin trend of the 1990s
  • The fitspo abs and toned glutes of today

But here’s the thing: each generation’s “ideal” has been more about trends than truth.

Social media has amplified this pressure. Filters, retouching, and algorithms show us a world where beauty is filtered, polished, and often unattainable. And while trends change, one thing should remain constant — your self-worth is not defined by how closely you fit a mold.

You Are Not a Trend — You Are Timeless

Let’s stop shrinking ourselves to fit into someone else’s idea of what we should look like. As actress Viola Davis said:

“Do not live someone else’s idea of what womanhood is. Womanhood is YOU.”

This powerful quote reminds us that your body is your story — not something to be erased, edited, or compared.

Healthy Is the New Beautiful

While we may not choose our natural body shape, we can choose to be healthy — and that’s where the real glow-up happens. Choosing to move, nourish, and love your body leads to:

  • Higher confidence
  • Mental clarity
  • Better posture and energy
  • A positive body image that lasts

The best part? Health and self-love are not exclusive to any size.

Model and body positivity icon Ashley Graham made it loud and clear:

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a size 2 or 22, you can be healthy as long as you’re taking care of your body, working out, and telling yourself ‘I love you.’”

Amen, Ashley.

So How Can You Be Healthy Your Way?

The answer is simple: Stop chasing trends and start doing what works for your lifestyle.

If you’re tired of workouts that feel impossible or time-consuming, BODY TIME EMS offers a solution that works with your body, not against it.
