- Appreciate all that your body can do. Every day your body carries you closer to your dreams. Celebrate all of the amazing things your body does for you—running, dancing, breathing, laughing, dreaming, etc. Your body is the vehicle that has brought you towards every person that you care about. Without your body, you literally wouldn't be able to do anything.
- Keep a top-ten list of things you like about yourself—things that aren’t related to how much you weigh or what you look like. what are your favourite things about your personality? do you love how caring you are? how artistic you are? Read your list often. Add to it as you become aware of more things to like about yourself.
- Remind yourself that “true beauty” is not simply skin deep. When you feel good about yourself and who you are, you carry yourself with a sense of confidence, self-acceptance, and openness that makes you beautiful regardless of whether you're wearing your Sunday best or your comfy clothes. Beauty is a state of mind, not a state of your body. own it my friends!
- Surround yourself with positive people. It is easier to feel good about yourself and your body when you are around others who are supportive and who recognize the importance of liking yourself just as you naturally are.
- Shut down those voices in your head that tell you your body is not “right” or that you are a “bad” person. You can overpower those negative thoughts with positive ones. The next time you start to tear yourself down, build yourself back up with a few quick affirmations that work for you.
- Wear clothes that are comfortable and that make you feel good about your body. Work with your body, not against it. I used to make no effort in my appearance, wearing only baggy clothes because I felt bad about how I looked. now that I make more effort I actually feel a lot better more often than not. Sometime's the right clothes can truly make you feel more confident.
- Do something nice for yourself--something that lets your body know you appreciate it. Take a bubble bath, make time for a nap, find a peaceful place outside to relax.
- Use the time and energy that you might have spent worrying about social situations, negative thoughts, and your body to do something to help others. Sometimes reaching out to other people can help you feel better about yourself and can make a positive change in our world. It can give you a real sense of purpose whilst taking your mid off of your troubles for a few hours (plus you might meet some new friends along the way!)
