Five Ways to Embrace Your Body This Summer

Depending on where we are in life, Social Media can create an uncertainty of self-confidence as images of the “perfect face & body” fill our timelines. Challenging ourselves to turn down thoughts of comparison becomes more complicated when we start to believe what we see. We must put our phones down and do a self-love check in such moments. If you need a gentle reminder that you don’t need to be perfect to be “him” or “her,” this read is for you.

Here Are Five Ways To Embrace Your  Body This Summer:

Be Yourself

There is power in being unapologetically you. You control the image you wish to project. Present yourself in the manner you desire. Choose looks that bring you comfort, communicate in a way that reflects your true self, and connect with people who see you and respect you.

Embrace Self- Reflection

Rather than concentrating on what you see as imperfections, acknowledge the beauty and individuality of your body. Recognize the aspects you admire and value about your appearance. Acknowledge all the elements that distinguish you as a person.

Be Mindful

Being selective with what we entertain on social media is crucial. Engaging with body-positive content creators can cultivate an appreciation for unconventional beauty standards while accepting our bodies.

Embrace Affirmations

How you speak to yourself matters! Add words of affirmation to your daily routine. Consider what you want to believe about your body, even if you don’t think it’s true today. Keep your favorite affirmations close by writing them on sticky notes for your mirrors and anywhere else you’ll likely see them when your mood needs a boost.

Be Healthy

To know your body is to love it. Annual checkups are essential to our health. So are vitamins and proper nutrition. Be attentive to your body’s needs and treat it with care one day at a time.
