Boost Your Body Confidence in 5 Easy Ways

There's no reason why you should be staring at that mirror, hating the reflection before you. Sure, we all have "flaws" that we would love to fix, but why obsess about them? Instead of being disappointed, why not make a promise to change your way of thinking?

Now, I am sure you would agree that's easier said than done, so let's start from the beginning:

1. Change Your Mantra:
Sure it's easy to repeat "I hate my thighs" or "I wish I had a flatter stomach" every time you look in the mirror, but where is that getting you? No where. Change your thoughts, change your perception. Try repeating things like "My thighs are strong and carry me through my workouts", anything that will remind you that you ARE beautiful and worthy.

2. Write yourself a love note!
Yes, it sounds extremely corny, but it works! Remind yourself that you ARE wonderful. Keep post-its in your bathroom that say things like "Smile, beautiful," or "Hey there sexy". The daily reminder and affirmation will at least put a smile on your face. 

3.  PLAY!
Stop focusing on being an adult all the time. Kids never worry about looking silly when they are dancing, playing, or twirling about. Let yourself have fun and please do not pay any mind to those who don't understand.

4. Update the wardrobe:
So what, you gained 5 lbs. Stop staring at those clothes that no longer fit you in the closet. Those too-tight pair of jeans are sabotaging your body image. Box them up for now, and treat yourself to a truly great fitting pair.

5. Know that you are not the only one:
Everyone at some point in their lives feels inadequate, not worthy, or not "pretty enough". According to Glamour.com, Whether you’re overweight, super fit or somewhere in between, you may always be dissatisfied with your body unless you tackle what’s inside and find the confidence you need to accept yourself just the way you are.
