The intimate relationship between Body Perception and Self-Esteem
The Self-Esteem building has a special and very important pillar which is called Body Perception. Research confirms: those who have a good relationship with their body are more satisfied and have greater confidence in their possibilities, compared to those who are in constant war with the image they see reflected in the mirror.
The debate is heated between two main positions: on the one hand, there are those who believe that self-confidence is the prerequisite for taking care of your appearance and for taking an interest in your health; other, there are those who say that, only by taking care of your image and effective body functioning, good self-esteem can be developed.
The certainty is that, nowadays, the body is increasingly considered a reflection of our identity; the perception we have of ourselves and that others have of us is conveyed by what our Body Image communicates, or from his story about the person we are and the type of life we lead. The body, infatti, it contains a set of meanings and experiences that concern our perceptual experiences, emotional and social, past and present.
Body perception begins to emerge from birth, but it is subject to various changes throughout life and in some particular moments of our existence it can play a predominant role; its relevance on emotional balance can be inferred from the interest that the theme arouses from the neurological point of view, clinical, psychological, social. Body Perception includes: body scheme and body image.
Body pattern
We mean the spatial representation that the individual creates of his own body, thanks to the information he receives from the sense organs.
Body image
If the body pattern is strongly linked to a perceptual representation and cerebral organization, the somatic image is its complementary aspect because during the growth of the human being it is enriched with personal aspects, affective, cognitive and experiential, that define a "psychological notion of body image in which the whole existence of the subject comes into play" (Lalli, 1997).
Since the body image is linked to the emotional sphere and personal experience, it is inevitable that it will change constantly throughout life. Body perception greatly influences both the concept of self, or the characteristics that we feel to possess / not to possess, is self-esteem, or the value we attribute to ourselves for having / not possessing these characteristics.
In order to find our body pleasant, It is essential to "know how to deal" with the stereotypes proposed by our family of origin, by the peer group in adolescence and the current socio-cultural models. Not knowing how to manage the comparison with certain parameters of form and beauty can risk increasing individual dissatisfaction and creating frustration, especially in people who are experiencing a difficult time. But you know what is the skill shared by the vast majority of people who have high self-esteem? Be sporty.
Quindi, there is something priority that we can do to improve our self-esteem: move the body intensely and allow it to overcome, everyday, a small limit.
How to reach a goal? Without haste but without stopping.
J.W. Goethe
