If there’s one thing I want you guys to focus on before starting this new week it’s cultivating a better relationship with yourself.
Body image issues can stunt & affect any kind of progress or growth in every facet of your life.
I can tell you after losing almost 50lbs over my 38 yrs on this earth, the weight loss doesn’t magically make you love yourself more or fix any problems.
10 Ways To Improve Body Image Issues

1️⃣ Stop comparing yourself to others. Love & appreciate your body for what it is & what it is becoming as you live a healthier life.
2️⃣ Remember that beauty is not just about appearance.
3️⃣ Question the media & things you consume. Especially social media. Most of what you see is photo shopped & the highlight reels.
4️⃣ Dress in clothes that make you feel your best! Wear literally whatever the hell you want. You wear your clothes they don’t wear you.
5️⃣ When you see yourself in a mirror or in your mind, choose not to focus on specific body parts. You are a beautiful sum of all your imperfections.
6️⃣ LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. What do you NEED? A walk? Yoga? A bath?! Listening help so much!
7️⃣ Use the time and energy you might have spent worrying about food, calories, and your weight to do something to help others. Sometimes helping out other people can help you feel better about yourself and can make a positive change in our world.
8️⃣ Shut down those voices in your head that tell you your body is not “right” or that you are a “bad” person.
9️⃣ “I am” affirmations! Say them, write them, believe them!
🔟 Don’t rely on others for confidence boosts! Your worth comes from within.
Also, seek help. Therapy does wonders❤️
