Active ways to cultivate positive body image:
(Because oh my god, itβs so hard, and everyoneβs all like stop feeling so bad about yourself and itβs like how???)Β
Be naked. A lot. Sleep naked. Have sex naked. Eat cereal naked. (Or naked and wrapped in a sheet. Favorite thing.)Β
Follow beautiful, confident, (un-photoshopped) body-positive babes on the Internet. Unfollow anything that makes you feel insecure. Exposure is key. Youβre not going to get it if you donβt seek it out, because the media sucks and wants us to feel like shit about ourselves so they can take our money. (Some hashtags to follow: #effyourbeautystandards #bootyrevolution #blackisbeautiful #transisbeautiful #wheelchairlife #fatkini #fatshion)
Lingerie. Next best thing to being naked.Β
Self care, babe. Different for everyone. (Me? Showers, books, shaving my legs, nature walks, dark lipstick, good playlists, clean rooms, candles, sexy time.)Β
Get ready in your underwear. Boobs = happiness.Β
Self portraits. Be pro-selfie. Take a million selfies. Take sexy selfies. Take no makeup selfies. Take bad angle silly selfies. Take artsy tripod selfies. Take everything-is-on-point selfies. Youβre gorgeous; document your gorgeousness. You donβt even need to post them.Β
Stop with the self deprecationnnnn. Pleeeeaseeee. Itβs hard to control your thoughts love, I know, but you can control what you say. NEVER insult yourself out loud. Dare I say compliment yourself out loud? (And if you can, do your best to try to body-positive-ify your thoughts too.)Β
Sex (including solo sexy time), wine, and chocolate. In that order.Β
Share the body love. Compliment your girlfriends. Cultivate a nonjudgemental, supportive, lift-each-other-up βweβre so cuteβ friend group. Everyoneβs insecure. Compliment your besties. And strangers, too. Be that person that makes everyone feel good about themselves when theyβre around.Β
Good luck gorgeous. Itβs a battle. We gotta unlearn all this societal bullshit.
