Do you suffer from low self-esteem about your body?

Do you dislike certain aspects of your body? And you think that you can change your body to improve its appearance? If so, you are not alone in thinking this way.

Many people are unhappy with their physical appearance or some aspect of it. But when you keep thinking about it, you lower your self-esteem and you may fall victim to depression. Besides, it can create problems regarding social relations. So how to deal with it?

First of all, it is necessary to keep in mind that it is not necessary to be beautiful in order to accept your body mentally and emotionally. When you like your body the way it is, you encourage positive thoughts about your body, which boosts your self-esteem.

How to mentally accept your body?

Some people believe that a good body image requires being in good shape. They think that when I get in better shape, I will like my body. So know that no one is perfect. Each has flaws. Even in people with apparently ideal bodies. So see your body as it is, not as you wish it to be.

Don't embarrass yourself

When you have a negative attitude about your body, it can damage your self-esteem, whether you say it to others or think it yourself. It can be just as damaging as anyone else has said. So be kind and encouraging to yourself. Ask yourself, would I make negative comments about my best friend's appearance? Treat yourself like a good friend.

Don't compare yourself with other people

It is said that comparison eats happiness. Look for the things you like about your body and be grateful for them.

Accept if prompted

Whenever someone says a compliment about your body, instead of disbelieving them, believe them a little and acknowledge their truth.
