It’s about cultivating a deep and meaningful relationship with your body, one that is rooted in self-acceptance and love. Let’s explore how to embark on this journey and provide examples of how to do it.
1. Challenge Negative Self-Talk
One of the first steps in embracing body positivity is to challenge and change negative self-talk. It’s easy to get caught in a cycle of self-criticism, but this only perpetuates feelings of inadequacy.
For example:
- Instead of saying, “I hate my thighs” say, “My legs carry me through life, and I am grateful for that.”
2. Surround Yourself with Positivity
Surrounding yourself with positivity can have a profound impact on your body image. Seek out people and media that promote body diversity and self-love.
Follow body-positive influencers, read books that celebrate self-acceptance, and unfollow social media accounts that make you feel inadequate.

3. Focus on Health, Not Size
Shift your focus from achieving a specific body size to prioritising your health and well-being. Engage in activities that make you feel good and nourish your body with nutritious foods.
Remember that health comes in various shapes and sizes, and there’s no one-size-fits-all definition.
For example:
- Instead of obsessing over the number on the scale, focus on how exercise makes you feel strong and energised.
4. Practice Self-Care
Self-care is essential in nurturing body positivity. Set aside time for activities that make you feel pampered and cherished.
This could be anything from taking long baths, meditating, or going for a leisurely walk in nature. When you prioritise self-care, you reinforce the message that your body deserves love and attention.
5. Celebrate Your Body’s Achievements
Your body is an incredible instrument that allows you to accomplish amazing things. Celebrate your body’s achievements, whether it’s running a marathon, dancing, or simply getting through a challenging day.
Acknowledging these accomplishments can help you develop a greater appreciation for your body’s capabilities.
For example:
- Celebrate your body’s strength after completing a challenging yoga class or lifting weights at the gym.
6. Embrace Your Flaws
Nobody is perfect, and that’s what makes each person unique and beautiful. Embrace your so-called “flaws” as part of your individuality. Whether it’s scars, stretch marks, or wrinkles, these are all part of your life story and make you who you are.
For example:
- Wear that swimsuit proudly, showing off your beautiful body without worrying about imperfections.
7. Seek Professional Help When Needed
If negative body image or body dissatisfaction is severely impacting your mental health, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. Therapists and counsellors can provide guidance and support in navigating these complex feelings.
Embracing body positivity is a journey that involves self-acceptance, self-love, and a shift in mindset.
By challenging negative self-talk, surrounding yourself with positivity, focusing on health, practising self-care, celebrating your body’s achievements, embracing your flaws, and seeking help when needed, you can cultivate a deep and meaningful relationship with your body.
Remember that you are unique, beautiful, and deserving of love and respect just as you are.
