Insolent for some and daring for others, this photo published under the title “Yes, tomorrow I will be 53 years old. So what !?? “, says a lot about the state of mind of this Mexican actress of Lebanese origin, elected sex symbol since 1990. Indeed, the actress was seen in a blue bikini in the middle of the day at the beach and in the evening with her companion who does not hesitate to press her head against the birthday cake, which makes the seductress laugh and seems more fulfilled than ever.
Used to highlighting her body during her public outings, Salma Hayek sends a strong message to women through this photo. We see how she enjoys life to the fullest by feeling good about herself, embracing her curves and opting for appropriate colors. The turquoise blue that the celebrity chose to highlight itself reflects the light very well, and adds a touch of vitality and dynamism. Some will surely tend to think that the one who burst onto the screen with her interpretation of Frida Kahlo and her sultry role in James Bond has every reason to feel comfortable in her body. However, you don’t have to be Salma Hayek, or any other star for that matter, to feel good about yourself.
Through her attitude, the actress proves that neither age nor body shape should interfere in the relationship between body and mind. This is a state of mind, a complement independent of the nature of your profession, or your environment. Let’s face it though! This repressed response sometimes struggles to take over: whether we are thin or round, tall or short, each of us finds one or more flaws. Due to lack of self-confidence, social pressure or simple relaxation, the sources of bodily discomfort are numerous, and so are its consequences.
Unless they are taken seriously, these small imperfections on which we sometimes focus our attention risk becoming more significant than they deserve. Research has in fact demonstrated that accepting yourself and your body is an essential key to well-being. Body positivism, which refers to a feeling of serenity and happiness and which Salma Hayek’s photo demonstrates, requires real work on oneself.
