When you wake up in the morning, do you automatically celebrate your body? Probably not. Most of us have a bad relationship with the way we look, partly because of things we’ve learned from the world around us.
Fortunately, you don’t have to make do with a body or mindset you don’t want. There are all sorts of ways you can celebrate your biology and leverage those good feelings to better enjoy your life.
Here’s what to do:
Surround Yourself With Positive People And Media
Spend time with people who love and support you for who you are. Avoid people who criticize, judge, or pressure you to change your body or yourself. You can also try limiting the amount of time you spend consuming media with unrealistic beauty standards.
Get Into The Habit Of Complimenting Yourself
Another thing you can try is getting into the habit of complimenting yourself, and other people around you. The more you appreciate the beauty standards you have right now, the better you’ll feel. You can say them in front of a mirror, write them on sticky notes, or record them on your phone. Say things like “I am beautiful”, “I am strong”, and “I am worthy.” Keep going until it gets into your unconscious mind. Before long, you’ll feel happier and more confident as a person.
Eat Nourishing Food
Another strategy is to eat nourishing and satisfying food. Don’t deprive yourself of the things you love, but also focus on eating items that support your long-term well-being. Eventually, your body will thank you for it.
Pamper Yourself
You can also celebrate your body by pampering yourself and doing things that will help you achieve your potential. Treat yourself to a relaxing bath, a massage, a manicure, or whatever makes you feel special.
You can also consider taking bigger steps towards your goals. For instance, what is a full C cup? Essentially, it’s an approximate measure of breast size and something you can augment with the right procedure and help. Remember, pampering means doing what’s right for you.
Move Your Body To Generate More Joy
Another strategy you can use is moving your body to generate more joy. Exercising regularly can be a great way to see just what your body can do. Options include:-
Yoga
Hiking
Playing with your pet
Swimming
Dancing
Once you get a sense of all the activities your body can enjoy, it makes it easier to appreciate what you have. You quickly realize how capable you are and how you want to celebrate it.
Start Your Day With Gratitude
Another cool way to celebrate your body is to start the day by being grateful. When you wake up, take a moment to thank your body for giving you another day of life. Think of all the things your body allows you to do, such as thinking, building a business, or spending time with others. When you think about it deeply, existence is profound and something worth celebrating every moment of the day. Ultimately, your body makes it possible.
