While coming up to the 5^th day of Free Being Me Online Training with session four, participants are showing much more interest on free being me and enjoying it a lot with gaining more knowledge along with building up self-esteem on body confidence. Day by day, they are actively participating in every activities of the session, coming on the front line and sharing their ideas freely. Today’s session was led by Mrs.Mabila Khadka and co-led by Miss. Maleena Maharjan, where they facilitated on the topic of “Body Talk”. This session helped participants to realize that the IMAGE MYTH isn’t just something we hear about and see around us. We talk about it too, all the time, even when we don’t realize we are doing it! and this session helped them to spot the Image Myth and learn the ways they can stop using it themselves, and challenge other people too.

Today’s session was started with a very fun energizer i.e. dancing on our own place where every participant danced very well and it made us realize that even in this virtual session we can do this kind of fun energizer. After that, we went through the “Mirror-Mirror” challenge where the participants raised their body confidence by practicing, saying out loud, the things they like about themselves and creating a culture of boys and girls being proud of their bodies and who they are. Later on, in the “Body Talk” session, YESS Girls ( Miss . Stella and Miss Safa) played skit very beautifully where they represent the Image Myth that we usually talked in our daily life and asked participants and observers to spot it. After that, participants were assigned into the smaller breakout rooms where they discussed more on how to spot the Image Myths and how to challenge them as well as they learned that the real compliments help to increase the confidence level upon their friends and family as well as within themselves which plays a vital role to eradicate the Image Myth from our society and from the world. They even share their experience during the real compliments session which was very interactive and delivered beautifully. In-between the session, we played the videos also, related to today’s session and we discussed upon it that what is the message it wants to pass upon us.

After that, we closed today’s session by following the ritual of our FBM training i.e. giving them the personal challenge assignment where they have to take the lead by sharing the messages about Image Myth with other people.
