Filters Are Changing How We See Ourselves and Killing Our Confidence. So What Can We Do About It?

Staring at own faces, day in and day out: what exactly is it doing to our self-image?

 High exposure to perfectly symmetrical faces, with lush lashes, full, pouty lips, and Bella Hadid level cheekbones - has been proven time and time again to have a large impact on our self-esteem. Photoshop, editing apps, and filters are literally tricking our subconscious mind into believing this level of flawless beauty exists. 

Unrealistic, unattainable images surround us. Our society encourages us to embrace digitally altered, flawless facades. What can we do about it?

In this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on the photoshop and filtering dilemma, zoom face  - how it affects our minds, how we inevitably talk to ourselves, and how that can be especially damaging for our mental well-being and ability to design an optimal future.
