With the year coming to the end, it's a perfect time to reflect on your year and set goals for 2024. Practising more Body Love should definitely make it on your list and here is 5 things that can help you achieve that!
1. Your Words Matter.
The words you use when you talk about bodies matter. Work on developing a regular habit of expressing gratitude for yourself when you feel it. Consciously try and replace critical and comparative thoughts with acceptance and appreciation. Retrain yourself to think kinder thoughts by focusing on the bits that you love about you.
2. Spend Quality Time with Yourself.
Focus on how your body feels rather than how it looks. Your body is just that - yours. You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin and sometimes being 100% positive about yourself is a huge step to dedicate yourself to. I definitely recommend starting with being Body Neutral at first and focus on spending quality time with yourself.
3. Give yourself permission to love your body.
It's so easy to step into the habit of resisting Body Love. It’s time to leave it behind and give yourself permission to step out of your comfort zone and love YOU. Make 2024 the year you fully embrace self-love and begin your journey of acceptance and celebration!!
4. Fall in love with your body, not someone else’s.
Stop comparing your Body and Body Love Journey to someone else’s. Comparing is the thief of happiness. A HUGE space for comparison is Social Media, maybe your goal for 2024 might be to relearn healthier ways to scroll. If you are serious about developing better Body Love in 2024, you must focus on you and you only. Focus on your personal strengths, uniqueness and strengths.
5. Commit to unconditional love.
Loving your body shouldn’t be conditional. If you catch yourself saying things I will love my body when…” or I will love my body if…”, you are not giving yourself unconditional love. Practising Body Love comes with acceptance and embracing the real and raw you. Start 2024 with a pledge to love yourself unconditionally.
