As part of our assimilation as a race in self-occupation, whether it is external (physical fitness or our facial skin care routine for example) or internal and mental, it is nothing new.

We have all heard of thousands of ways we can become more productive, being the most perfect version of an older and more functional human being as we expect of ourselves.

The feed on Instagram and Tiktok is full of aesthetic acai bowls, maccha cold drinks and size 34 girls who show off the fact that they know how to stand up.

Sometimes it can make us think "why am I not this girl?", Or in English "That Girl" that has been occupying Tiktok for the last few months.

This is this girl who managed to take control of her life, who got up early in the morning from the first ring of the alarm clock, which is enough before a day of work to knock out training, cleaning the house, meditation and a satisfying and healthy breakfast.

The aesthetics of "this girl" first came into our lives last summer.

Last December the trend experienced a sharp rise towards the beginning of 2022: a period of new beginnings.

As of this writing the tag "That Girl" on Tiktok has close to 2 billion views.

Women in their twenties present to the world their healthy routine by romanticizing a lifestyle that puts the "self" at the center and focuses on small victories in the daily routine instead of ambitious victories, materialism, and capitalist culture - a trend that puts the eye out with a dream job or vacation from the movies , But with your high functioning as a person.

"This Girl" gets up between five and seven in the morning, makes her bed and turns on the "sunset lamp" she bought and showed off in Tiktok.

She will then continue to practice yoga or Pilates (of course with a matching fitness suit), perform her skin care routine (there is a situation where she has a special small fridge for her skincare products), drink an aesthetic morning drink (maccha, fruit smoothie or just a complicated coffee ) - and only then will you start the day.

Proponents of aesthetics argue that this is a new way of female empowerment.

In a world where we are all measured by our professional achievements, the temple stream comes from self-work, mental health and a healthy diet.

"This Girl" presents a world in which if we adopt certain routines and habits, we can be who we want - we can be the "girl" who lives life "right", and also adopt the aesthetics that accompany her life.

How to be "this girl"?

The word "aesthetics" is important when talking about "this girl", because aesthetics and its use in our lives has become a basic requirement in the way we present our daily lives.

It is woven into every aspect and every image - until it is impossible to remember the times when we did not arrange the holiday table in "Rural Aesthetics" inspired by an image we saw on Pinterest.

"This Girl" functions repetitively in social media, so that we can ultimately treat it as a phenomenon, an idea - and not as an individual who shares marginal moments in his life.

Since the actions of this "girl" are intertwined with her lifestyle, she does not make assumptions for herself.

"This girl" must maintain her habits and project them out every day and hour, because her content is a commitment contract, to the audience and to herself, that she will not stop with these healthy routines and habits, and will not stop being "this girl".

The attractive aesthetics of "This Girl" made many influencers adopt her feed character: they upload self-help book stories, document their purchases at the farmers market near the pavilion, and make false promises that you, too, this girl sitting at home with greasy hair and not washing for two weeks, Can be the best version of yourself.

If the trend of "this girl" causes you to raise an eyebrow - you will not be the only ones.

Why would a random girl I do not know tell me how to improve my life?

After all, the world of "self-improvement" is not without its flaws: it is full of charlatans, unsuccessful methods or ones that have already been chewed and said in so many forms (if anyone else tells us to read "Five in the Morning Club" we will scream).

The problem with this "girl" who is not a dietitian recommending you a diet change or a fitness trainer who wants to push you - is just "aesthetics"

- Appearance of a whole lifestyle that makes you feel shit with yourself if you do not meet the standards it sets.

And you do not.

The ideas she presents are not innovative or objectionable: it would not hurt to drink more water, eat more vegetables or sleep eight hours a night.

Yet this "girl" is always skinny, always dressed in gym clothes in monochromatic colors that look like they have never been worn, she is almost always white, and lives in an apartment that most of us can not afford.

Somehow she has time and resources for self-concern, and the privilege and time to photograph and put together the perfect frame with a sense of effortlessness.

Opponents of the trend argue that this is an idealization of a lifestyle that most of us will not be able to reach, perhaps just aspire to.

In a post-Corona era, in which humanity is not the most mentally stable, encountering posts by "this girl" can cause a sense of disappointment for an individual who fails to meet the impossible standards she sets, in the form of the "aesthetics" of flawless functioning.

A person in poor mental health will usually not be able to jump straight out of bed or start the day training and tidying up the house.

Let’s face it, her lifestyle is unrealistic and does not faithfully present the imperfect and anxious reality we live in.

Admittedly, instead of getting upset and protesting you might not want to take "this girl" seriously.

One can take from it the positive things, the workable habits that we can instill in ourselves and do it at our own pace.

Without excessive expectation, without pushing ourselves too far and without self-disappointment, and remembering - there is a reason that "this girl" consists mainly of aesthetics - at the end of the meal, no matter how rustic our table was - it will always look the same.
