What to feel more body confident?:
Besides,"most of us aren’t posting photos of the everyday moments where we look like normal humans slouched at our desk or sitting on the couch in old sweatpants. All of this creates a particularly dangerous atmosphere in which a very small percentage of bodies get attention for what they look like for only a very small percentage of the time," explains Barnes.
So, what should you do when you find yourself falling into the social media rabbit hole of comparison? Instead of ruminating over what you don’t like about your body, try to shift your focus toward acknowledging and accepting everything that your body"Body confidence is the ability to feel at home in your body, no matter your size or shape," says Ima.
"When you live with body confidence, you free up a tremendous amount of energy that you can then focus on your goals, your mental health and on connecting with the people you love. On the surface it may seem like it’s about wearing a bikini confidently but the real benefit comes in allowing you to live a life aligned with your true values," says Barnes.
"Weight on the scale, the size on your jeans, number of calories burned—none of those define what a healthy and happy version of your body looks like," says Barnes. Instead, learn to listen to your body."Eat when you’re hungry, move your body in ways that feel good and get enough rest and your body will look the way it is meant to," she adds. It’s not just loving the way you look that helps build your body confidence, it's also about embracing who you are.
Lastly, think of positive body image as a practice rather than a destination."It’s not a state to be perfected, it’s a daily practice of self-acceptance," says Barnes. So if you find yourself slipping on some days, don't beat yourself up about it. Remember that you are still learning and even small, shaky steps count as progress.
