WAYS TO LOVE YOUR BODY |
|
Think of your body as the vehicle to your dreams. Honor it. Respect it. Fuel it. ♥ Respect and appreciate your body. ♥ Remember your body is the instrument of your life, not just an ornament. ♥ Create a list of people you admire: people who have contributed to your life, your community, or the world. Consider whether their appearance was important to their success and accomplishments. ♥ Walk with your head held high, supported by pride and confidence in yourself as a person. ♥ Don?t let your weight or shape keep you from activities that you enjoy. ♥ Wear comfortable clothes that you like and that feel good to your body. ♥ Count your blessings, not your blemishes. ♥ Think about all the things you could accomplish with the time and energy you currently spend worrying about your body and appearance. Try one! ♥ Be your body‘lsquo;s friend and supporter, not its enemy. ♥ Find a method of exercise that you enjoy and do it regularly. Don‘t exercise to lose weight or to fight your body. Do it to make your body healthy and strong and because it makes you feel good. ♥ Keep a list of 10 positive things about yourself--without mentioning your appearance. Add to it! ♥ Put a sign on each of your mirrors saying, ”I‘m beautiful inside and out.“ ♥ Choose to find the beauty in the world and in yourself. ♥ Start saying to yourself, “Life is too short to waste my time hating my body this way.“ ♥ Eat when you are hungry. Rest when you are tired. Surround yourself with people that remind you of your inner strength and beauty.
