Nudity, unlearn what you were taught.

So I saw a post on one of the many social media sites about unlearning things you had been taught in school.

Then it got me thinking, what would your world look like if you unlearned the things you were taught.

I mean think about this, most of your thoughts and opinions on things are based on the thoughts and opinions of others. Even in school subjects, your “education” was the beliefs and others, who were taught by someone else. Religion, well you are being taught by someone’s interpretation of the bible and what they were taught in school.

Here is a article in Forbes, what while is business related, can easily be transitioned into many parts of your life.

Unlearning thoughts on sexuality

Being anything other than heterosexual is also at the top of the no no list. I mean come one, it is just a phase you are going through right? You really don’t like the opposite sex because the bible says, your grandmother said, society says…it is wrong and disgusting.

Well, now is a great time to unlearn that you don’t need to listen, or receive validation, from ANYONE when it comes to your personal feelings and self-satisfaction.

After all, it is your life and you are responsible for your own happiness and satisfaction. No one, and I mean NO ONE can bring that to you except yourself.

Unlearning thoughts on nudity

Think about your thoughts on nudity. They were probably along the lines of “being naked in front of others is bad”, “you should only show your body to your spouse”, “getting naked leads to sex”…and the list goes on and on.

In short, being naked, is well, just being naked?

This is especially more prone in women as they were growing up.

Cover you body and look and act a certain way of you would get slut shamed.

Fit a certain image (Vogue Cover Model, or in today’s society of easy to access porn) or you are ugly and no one wants to look at you.

Think about how this affects the mental psych of a woman, or even a man.

It is no wonder that people who aren’t cover model material (which is 99% of us) are hesitant to even try nudism. I mean come on “who would want to look at me, I am …(add what ever imperfections here)”.

Here is something I want you to unlearn from this blog.

First and foremost, read the saying on the shirt.

You must control the fear that is driven by others, then you can learn to move on.

Nudity isn’t bad.

Nudity is normal and there is no need to be embarrassed or ashamed of who you are.

In the nudist community, we act a lot different than society. To read my previous blog on internet vs. real nudist click here.

We, a community of like minded people, want you EXACTLY how you are today! We don’t want you to lose 40 lbs. before you join us. There is no interest in waiting for you to get a tan before you show up.

These thoughts are normal because it was what you have been told your entire life. You don’t even sit down and think about these logically before that rejection thought immediately surfaces and controls the narrative of internal conversation .

I am here to tell you, it is time to start unlearning things you were taught and be one of the most dangerous humans on the planet: an open minded, free-thinker, that isn’t dissuaded by the news or political beliefs/parties.

What areas of your life do you need to spend some time unlearning?

In your corner,
