BE AN OBSERVER, NOT A JUDGE

BE AN OBSERVER, NOT A JUDGE
Don't issue good/bad/pretty/ugly judgments when you look in the mirror. "If you have a scar, you can decide to see it as a flaw or simply as a memory of an injury," says Stacey Tantleff-Dunn, PhD, associate professor of psychology at the University of Central Florida and director of the Laboratory for the Study of Eating, Appearance & Health. Try to take in your physical attributes the way you would those of a child or beloved friend—with appreciation and acceptance, not criticism.
MY THOUGHTS
yes- why spend time obsessing about something that you cannot change. of course, everything can be changed now with money. pure vanity. but beneath the cosmetic surgery, or whatever slabs you put on your face, lies the true you. if you cannot love yourself for who you are, who would?
