THE APPRAISAL OF BODY IMAGE

THE APPRAISAL OF BODY IMAGE

What is body image?

Body image can be defined as how you see and picture yourself in your mind and what you believe about your own appearance. Body image also includes how you feel about your body and how you sense, feel and control your body as you move.

Eating and body image issues are often connected. See also Eating Disorders.

Developmental and social changes that may impact body image include:

§ Physical and emotional separation from family

§ Requirements for high academic performance; often papers and exams are prioritized above physical and emotional health

§ Persistant internal conflicts or unresolved traumas

§ Transitions such as moving from home to residence hall, from residence hall to a house/apartment, beginning or ending a significant relationship, and graduation

How to develop a healthy body image:

Adapted from "BodyLove: Learning to Like Our Looks and Ourselves," by Rita Freeman, PhD

§ Stay active in ways that bring you joy (walking, dancing, yoga, etc.)

§ Expect normal weekly and monthly changes in weight and shape.

§ Work towards self-acceptance and self-forgiveness; be gentle with yourself.

§ Ask for support and encouragement from friends and family when life is stressful.

§ Put energy into prioritizing things like enjoying family, friends, school, and pets rather than pursuing the "perfect" body.

THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY

THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY In 1996, Graphic Design Legend Paul Rand declared “the greatest living graphic designer”—it was yet another ‘feather in the cap’ for him, and one of many during a long and colorful career that would make any present day designer envious. But more so when the acclamation comes from a visionary like Steve Jobs. In fact, it was Paul Rand’s dedication to treating design as a function of business that helped Steve Jobs’ Apple to become the design-leading powerhouse that it is today. In 1986, Rand was hired to create a logo for Jobs, reportedly for a fee of $100,000. But long before that—back in the 1950s—he had already begun to pave the way for design systems, and the notion of corporate identity. Many consider Rand to be the father of modern graphic design—the man who introduced the idea that commercial art could, and should, have both a strong visual appeal and an important functional role in the world of mo...

Augustine Eguavoen Did A Fine Job As Super Eagles Coach

By now it is no news to any Nigerian sports fan, that Augustin Eguavoen and his entire team have been relieved of their duties at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian National team. Most Nigerians are happy with this development, with some claiming that his immediate predecessor, Gernot Rohr would have delivered better results. However, a simple analysis of events will clearly demonstrate that Eguavoen did a fine enough job given the circumstances.

When Gernot Rohr was sacked a few weeks to the Afcon, knowledgeable sportspersons decried the move, citing the difficulty any new coach would face in setting up the team to play to his own patterns. In analyzing Eguavoen, therefore, it must first be understood that the new boss was operating unde...
