There’s a lot of talk about body image these days. Some good some bad.
And honestly there does need to be a discussion because it affects so many people usually in a negative way.
Sadly there’s a lot of people who are trying to shut down any discussion of appearance to the point even doctor’s are now afraid to talk to their patients about their bodyweight or health.
Everybody wants to have that excellent body image, the right body size, unique complexion and healthy body weight. And that’s ok!
Having a better body image is seen as a determining factor of one’s self-esteem, self-acceptance, health and confidence. This is why you will find some people following strict meal plans, hitting the gym and changing their lifestyle to look better.
However, there are several other factors that you should take into consideration which will boost your body appearance. Some of these factors include engaging in exercises, being content with the way you look and staying positive in your quest to build a nice body image.
In this article, we will outline some of the fundamental tips to help you build a fantastic body image so that you’ll feel good about yourself and be happier.
Let’s start with what we consider the most important thing… That is to
Appreciate Yourself - If you want people to love you and appreciate your body image, you must love yourself first.
Instead of cursing or hating the way you look, you have to love your body's good things. Focus on the good: appreciate your muscles that can help you carry heavy loads, appreciate your hands, especially for the work they do while preparing food and appreciate your legs that are able to take you to places. By focusing on the positive things about your body, you get to love yourself more, maintain your strength and have enough time to deal with your weaknesses.
Do What You Love -Passion is the spark. You cannot force yourself to do things that you are not passionate about. Be very mindful of your happiness by focusing on what makes you feel good. Whether it is turning up to your favorite concert, going out for a stroll, exercising or assisting others, do it with all your might.
Remember, your happiness is at stake! Do not hold back but, instead, show up for that function looking and feeling confident and ready to hang out with people.
However, avoid hanging around individuals who make you feel negative about yourself; keep your eyes and heart focused on positive energy.
This might help you learn some of the important ways to develop the right body image. Your friends or colleagues can often share with you the strategies they have used and that you can apply to get rid of body dissatisfaction.
Befriend Your Mirror -Avoiding the mirror will not get rid of your body dissatisfaction. You need to look at yourself quite often and endure and then deal with any uncomfortable thoughts about your body image so take a personal responsibility to change what you do not like.
If you do not want the unnecessary weight you see, find an effective weight loss program. If your hair does not make you happy, get a befitting makeover. Nothing will change unless you take action and the ONLY one that can make you take that action is YOU!
Do Not Compare Yourself With Others -Comparing yourself with others is poison. It might lead to stress, depression and feeling unworthy. Focus on being you and doing what you love most.
Do not give in to criticism. If you see others with a better body image, do not feel intimidated but, instead, be inspired. Find out how they have managed to maintain a healthy weight, great complexion and confidence. You will get from that person important information that will form the basis of your own body image improvement.
Walk The Talk -As a parent, grandparent or guardian, kids look up to you. You need to be their example or, at the very least, their point of reference. The way you solve issues and tackle criticism should inspire them.
They need to see you appreciate your body, loving the way you look, preventing negative thoughts and staying committed to improving your body image. The urge to lead the young ones will give you a commitment to enhancing how you look.
Exercise - Working out not only keeps you fit but also gives you a better body image. Through exercise, you can shed off excess weight, stay positive, appreciate the value of hard work and stay committed to your body goals. It doesn’t matter what kind of exercise as long as you exercise. Yoga for example is one of the forms of exercise that anyone can adopt. It is peaceful, comfortable and guarantees body health improvements.
Conclusion -Having a poor body image can be depressing. Nevertheless, there is a way out of that destructive feeling! Make use of the tips discussed above to help you improve your body image. They are proven strategies that guarantee positive results in improving one’s body image.
