Embodied State of Mind launches the #mybodyis campaign (August 29, 2016
– October 8, 2016) to promote and celebrate diversity of real women in
our society; because every body is a beautiful body.
New York, NY, August 29, 2016 --( PR.com)-- Surveys indicate
that 87% of US women(1), which equates to a staggering 109 million women(2),
are unhappy with their body. Only 4% of women(3) consider themselves beautiful.
It is clear that in a society where so much emphasis is placed on body image, there i
s something fundamentally wrong and harmful about the way most women
view their body. Accepting body dissatisfaction as a normal part of life is
not a solution, and the #mybodyis campaign is set to change the way
women view their body.
The #mybodyis campaign celebrates diversity of real women in our society
and brings positive back to how we view our bodies for the better. It sheds
negative descriptors and focuses on the incredible qualities our bodies exhibit.
Wearing each perceived flaw or imperfection as a badge of true beauty
and basking in the positive features that makes our bodies simply amazing.
The #mybodyis campaign encourages women of all ages, sizes and
background to take part in the body positive conversations online
(http://mybodyis.net/) by completing the #mybodyis… sentence with
a positive one-word descriptor, uploading a candid photo of themselves
and sharing a personal body changing story. The aim is to encourage
real women to join the conversation about having a healthy body image
and inspire other women to change their mindset with the help of their
positive perceptive and journeys.
New York #mybodyis free events include: Let’s Have A Body Positive
Conversation gatherings; Change Your Mindset – Special #mybodyis
Workshops; How to Take body Positive Selfies; Body Positive Outdoor
Meditation, and a variety of Focus Groups. The end of the campaign
will be marked by a celebration in Central Park on October 8th.
