Even though bikini season is in full swing, if you body bash yourself mentally, it doesn’t mean you have to worry about your body. 95% of women then they are unattractive and something is wrong with their body. If we can reverse this by celebrating our unique self then perhaps we will be closer to feeling more self love.
It’s time to stop mentally body bashing and celebrate the true you. You can love your body with these summer tips:
Dump the Beach Reads
A recent study showed that chick lit novels leave readers feeling worse about their own bodies. This is tied to the main characters that they read about and become invested in. The main characters of most chick lit stories often worry about their own body weight and image. The super shero’s in the novels often have poor self-esteem. Up your game and dump the chick lit for a more inspiration read. By choosing an uplifting book or such as a memoir or positive motivation book, such as Find Your Happy, by Shannon Kaiser, you will feel uplifted as well.
Let Your Hair Down
You can let your hair down this summer and go all-natural. Your hair is a part of you, and honoring the true you in all of it’s natural tendencies can help you feel better about yourself. Wear your hair down, beach do and all… ultimately it will allow yourself to practice self-gratitude and respect for your body.
Surf in Style
Frolic on the beach and dive in to the ocean, playing is a wonderful way to feel free and alive. You can try surfing, kayaking or even standup paddle boarding. Each activity will help you feel closer to nature and let your forget about you body concerns.
