Tips to Improve your Body Image

Posted on by

Let’s start first by explaining what body image is and how it matters? 

Body image refers to what and how the person thinks and feels about his/her own body. It relates to the belief, attitude and perception that a person carries about their own body.  In today’s world, with the growing sense of how a perfect body should be, everybody wants to achieve it, no matter what. This is the reason why there is dissatisfaction about body image among a large proportion of people. Research shows that body image dissatisfaction is there among 70% of today’s population which increases the chances of developing anxiety and depression issues. Body image dissatisfaction often focuses on skin, weight, hair, shape or size of a certain part of a body. Nowadays, people are actually giving more importance to the beauty of the human body. Our Society and social media both are the main culprits behind how a person sees and feels about their own body, height, weight and shape. Body image in a person ranges from positive to negative body image. 

When a person has a positive body image- 

  • He/She knows that their self-worth does not depend on how they look. 
  • They accept and appreciate the whole of their body the way it is.
  • They understand the real meaning of beauty and where it lies in. 
  • They have a positive attitude of looking at life. 
  • They carry a great sense of confidence about their body.

When a person has a negative body image-

  • They keep comparing themselves with others.
  • They lack confidence.
  • They feel embarrassed or ashamed about their body.
  • When they are with a bunch of people, they feel awkward and uncomfortable about how they look. 
  • They always think of undergoing cosmetic surgeries and pursuing weight loss habits that are not good for their bodies.

Having a negative body image leads to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. 

Tips for improving body image:

  • Have gratitude for what your body can do.  
  • Surround yourself with people who carry a positive body image. 
  • Stop comparing yourself with others. If comparison comes to your mind, try focusing on the positive aspects of your body.
  • Write down 10 things that you like about your body.
  • Don’t trust what the media portrays. Limit your exposure to negativity by limiting the usage or just deleting the apps that make you feel worse about your body.
  • Practice positive affirmations everyday.
  • Indulge into some activity that makes you feel great and strengthens your body.
  • Choose healthy and nutritious food that nourishes your body.
  • Practice meditation everyday.
  • Appreciate your body for what it is. 
  • Practice positive self-talk. 
  • See yourself as a whole person and not just an imperfect body.
