Приказната зад еден гол професор

Кога се обидуваме да поттикнеме позитивна промена во светот, се покажува тешко да направиме така, за да се слушне и да се издвои нашиот глас, без разлика колку е благородна причината.

Но, еден човек наоѓа единствено, донекаде малку провакативно решение: да се соблекува гол на јавни места и да се фотографира.

The Naked Professor (Голиот професор) е блог и профил во Instagram, посветен на поддршката на луѓето – а особено на мажите – да станат поповрзани со себеси, да ги ослободат умовите, да ја откријат вистинската природа и да се гордеат со тоа кои се тие.

Now as some of you may have noticed, my recent posts have been less nakedness & more mindfulness & meditation. As I often get asked why I am naked in the first place, I want to take a moment to talk about it??‍♂️ * I want to change the perception of mental health, what it is & how we can improve it. I want to bring awareness to some of the detrimental ways we unconsciously choose to live & to inspire those of you who are looking for inspiration to choose a path in life that suits you better. It might sound corny but I mean it, I'm passionate about this way of being. * So my images are here to, well bring a bit of shock and uniqueness to your instagram feeds, but also to represent & empower the words that I share. How? Well they are representing my quest for freedom & my search to find the inner courage to remove any masks that I may have worn to fit in with society. I am here fully expressing myself, this is the naked, raw version of me, unapologetically myself. I’m making a stand in not being afraid of judgement, it shrinks my true persona & leads me to normalise myself to fit in with society's expectations. That way of being didn't work for me, I didn’t feel truly alive. My images represent the creative nature I have within, the burning fire I have inside me to do something remarkable in line with my own dreams, of no longing living in autopilot mode doing what I think I am supposed to do. * So I hope my images do two things for you, 1) shock or attract you into engaging with my profile & the messages I share, 2) tell a story of vulnerability, freedom & creativity that embody everything that I write about. He may not be the most obvious of philosophers but I heard John McEnroe say that there is a direct correspondence between success on the tennis court & how freely you express yourself when playing. I believe the same can be said for life, I’m here to express myself fully. * My images aren’t easy to get, they require persistence & an element of bravery, but I hope they tell a story & serve a purpose. They are here to stay, just perhaps not in every post, either way I will keep sharing with passion & purpose, thank you for joining me?? * [email protected]

Човекот зад голото тело е Бен – 36-годишен ИТ претприемач од југозападниот дел на Лондон. Без разлика дали гледа над реката Темза и парламентот во Лондон, или се шета на некое пусто место, Бен е целосно гол на речиси сите свои слики, кои се придружени со текст порака.

Тој не го прави ова, за да биде обрнато внимание на импресивната физика – Бен се надева дека ќе ги дистрибуира своите мотивирачки ставови меѓу своите близу 21 илјади следбеници на Instagram и сите луѓе во светот.

The minute I stopped caring about what other people thought and started doing what I wanted to do is the minute I finally felt free. * @alin.ostafe and I waited a long time to get this picture. It’s a busy place and although we were desperate to capture the moment, we weren’t there to cause any offence to passers by. Just as we were going to give up, we got a moment to ourselves and Alin did the rest ??. We hope it tells a story of living free, not following the crowd and being vulnerably yourself. * ? @alin.ostafe #livefree #freedom #onelife #thenakedprofessor #mentalwellness

Голиот професор верува дека технологијата денес целосно го совладува умот на личноста. Не тера да се чувствуваме така како голем дел од нашиот живот е во рацете на некој друг, а тоа води до создавање на вишок бариери и стравови. Имено чувството на страв што предизвикува Бен да бара контрола во неговиот живот. Тој започнува со мали чекори да прави нешто што има директно влијание – да се соблекува без грижи и страв, и да позира на различни прометни локации.

“Live creatively, show the world your art” . As children we start out life with a creative spirit, relentlessly engaging with and chasing the things that we naturally love. As we grow older, other people’s thoughts and opinions grow louder, influencing our thinking and behaviour. If we are insecure or uncertain about the person we are, these opinions can become more significant than our own internal voice. In doing so they can suffocate our own unique authenticity and push us to become a safe version of ourselves that conforms with what society considers to be normal. . If we don’t spend time establishing what it is that we truly want in life, it is natural for us to follow the crowd and embark on the most comfortable and obvious path ahead so that we can pay the bills. In doing so, we steer ourselves towards an existence that society wants us to have, and we forget about living to feed our soul and obtain inner peace. . Three factors play a significant role in steering us away from chasing our hopes and dreams. 1) Our brain is programmed to naturally steer us away from risks. 2) Society is constantly channeling us in a direction that it determines to be normal. 3) We have become increasingly greedy and driven by financial wealth. When we are negatively influenced by these factors we are compelled to make major choices in our lives that don’t lead us to a fulfilled existence. What saddens me most about this is that successful living is now judged by society on how much money we have in the bank and what car we drive, when in reality surely successful living should be marked against how happy and how fulfilled a life we live? . So I’m here, in my own unique way, to share a message that we can all live with greater freedom and fulfilment by creating and following our own vision for our life. To do this, we need to understand that living a creative life in line with our values is what makes life fun. When we express our creative talents and communicate with the truth within our hearts, we start to heal the aches within that long for more, and our soul begins to finally feel a sense of fulfilment… To read in full, please see my website or Fb page. ? @alin.ostafe

Пред појавата на неговиот профил на Instagram, Бен создава блог, во кој во улогата на коуч пишува по различни животни теми, откако станува се позапален по споделувањето на своите пораки. Но, тој не сфаќа дека му треба начин да се истакне од толпата. И го наоѓа – да биде гол.

Мотивирачките пораки на Бен се многу слични на локациите каде што е фотографиран, но има едно нешто што не се менува со текот на времето. Ова е стилот на голиот професор.
