Having trouble focusing

Normally I would write my blogs over the weekends but this past weekend I had to work. And for that very reason I've spent the past few days struggling to come up with topics and ideas to write about. Since yesterday I’ve decided to write a blog about "appreciating the beauties of the human body," but I just haven’t been able generate any real flow. The main problems I’ve been having is concentrating and staying focus. Every time I sit down to write my mind tends to wander off on something else. Below is the introductory paragraph of the blog I’ve been trying to work on for the pass two days, if anyone have any good ideas about this topic or any other topics I could write about, please don’t hesitate to share your opinion.

The human body comes in so many different variations. Whether we’re talking size, shape or just simply our various skin tones, it’s safe to say no two bodies look exactly the same. With that concept in mind many of us, who are not naturally gifted, are force to get in the gym and work extremely hard to obtain that beautiful looking body of our dreams. And even though a beautiful looking body is base on each individual’s opinion, certainly we could all agree on some key features in determining someone who has a great looking body. When it comes to determining the ideal female’s body many would readily agree that a more slender and shapely looking female would be consider having a better looking body than one that’s not as slender or shapely. As far as us guys we need to be somewhat bulky with lean muscles in order to be even considered as having a great looking body. But in my personal opinion I think people should first appreciate the way they look, because not everyone could a Brad Pitt or Kim Kardashian.

  1. I think this is a fine beginning paragraph. I have some ideas to develop it further. Isn't beauty both "in the eye of the beholder" and culturally constructed? What I mean is that what the media projects as beautiful (the waif, anorexic model, for the most part) is different than the Marilyn Monroe body of only 40 years ago. So I wonder: what causes a culture to shift the ideas of beauty? Why is being slender more beautiful?

    Watch phrasing in the first paragraph, especially (pass, past switching).
