Boost Your Body Confidence
Everyone, and I mean everyone feels insecure about a part of their body if not their entire image. Yes, even the famous and wealthy. Yes, even those you admire the most. So if you wish you were more confident in your body, know that you are not alone. I started my journey in the health and wellness industry because I was self conscious about my body from a young age. I’ve come a long way and now I want to help you feel more confident in your body too with these few steps.
Stop fighting your body. We often talk about it as if it's our enemy, analyzing it like a science project and breaking it down into parts. When we do this, we are telling our body that it's not enough and not worthy of love until it looks the way we want it to. Instead, realize that your body is always there for you. It wakes you up every morning and getting you where you need to go. It’s doing the best it can to support you, so be kind.
Talk to your body like it's your best friend. Start by making a list of the reasons you're grateful for your body, stand in front of the mirror, and read it out loud while making eye contact. Realizing how uniquely beautiful your body is will help you stop comparing yourself to others. You are unique for a reason, and your body is unlike anyone else's.
Buy clothes that compliment what your body looks like now. We often try to make our bodies fit into clothes instead of buying clothes that fit us. We hold onto old clothes, hoping that we'll one day fit into them again. Instead, we should challenge that narrative and buy clothes that make us feel amazing. It's important to feel good and strive to be your best self, but remember that looks aren't everything. The quality of your soul is what's truly important, and trying to be the hottest person in the room is a waste of time because you’'ll never be satisfied.
By talking to your body like you love it, embracing your uniqueness, dressing for your best, and remembering that the quality of your character is what's truly important, you can walk into any room and shine. Body confidence starts with a positive mindset.
