The story of Adam and Eve tells us they were both naked and free until they ate the apple in the Garden of Eden. Then they were embarrassed by their nudity, and both scrambled to find anything to cover their bodies đđ
The same goes for the rest of humanity.
We are naked, proud, and free until we hit a certain age, and society deems it inappropriate to be without clothes. Not only are we taught to start wearing clothes â which in all honesty isnât that big of a deal, but we are propagandized into believing that if we arenât wearing clothes, then we should be ashamed of ourselves and our bodies.
Well, stories repeat themselves..
When you take off your clothes, there will always be that trigger, âOh, do I look alright? And if we think not, there isnât much we can do to change it.
But when we wear clothes, we can easily manipulate our image until we decide we are happy with it. However, that doesnât change how we honestly feel about ourselves. It only ensures others see us how we want to be perceived. The many layers of covering up, our makeup, clothes, attitudes, and identities all serve to validate ideas, much less to celebrate our real selves đđť
Releasing clothes is like releasing a burden! And donât we all feel a bit free once we get home and strip down to our bare skin?
It doesnât matter what our bodies look like for us to be comfortable in it. It is merely a practice that transforms our psyche. And it gets easier the more we do it. Even if thatâs staying undressed a bit longer before or after taking a shower, getting naked more often will get you comfortable in your body, guaranteed đ¤
Our bodies are our first homes, and it would serve us well if we learned to appreciate it.
Disliking or not being comfortable with our bodies can also be an oversimplification of a more significant issue.
Does being naked make you feel less complicated? This is exactly how it works with me đż
