At a time when the injunction of “summer body” is invading social networks, do you want to take the opposite view of these beauty diktats to feel free and good in your body? You are not alone! Learning to love yourself as you are and to ignore the views of others is possible… but it is not always easy, especially in a society where the cult of the so-called “perfect” body remains central.
To help you, the author, essayist and editor Gala Avanzi wrote the book My body (without pressure), to free you from injunctions and enjoy your body. A book published on April 11 by Solar editions, in Simone’s “Sans Pression” collection.
Fight injunctions and learn to love your body
The objective of this committed work, written by Gala Avanzi and illustrated by @Larenardebouclée? Combat injunctions with humor, by taking stock of the diktats suffered by women, by denouncing body shaming, or by pointing out the culture of unique beauty and the hypersexualization of women. All this enhanced with little tips and tricks, recommendations for podcasts and readings, but also quizzes and other exercises aimed at helping you gain self-confidence, in a light manner, and without putting pressure on you.
One of the exercises proposed in the book consists, for example, of listing everything that your complexes prevent you from doing, to become aware of all the limits that we impose on ourselves because of the dictates of society and the way people view them. others. Cellulite, stretch marks, rolls… You will no longer see your body the same way!
