So I thought since it's NATIONAL EATING DISORDER AWARENESS MONTH and body image is directly related to eating disorders AND Valentine's day is fast approaching, I thought I'd write a fun article on some tips to help people feel good about their bodies. Feel SEXIER. And why the hell not?
Here are some tips that DON'T include exercise or food because by now you hopefully know that both help you feel good. And when you feel good you look good!
1. DRESS THE PART
This doesn't mean you have to wear a short skirt with kick ass boots (although NOTHING wrong with that!) but, I find that when most people feel the crappiest about themselves they wear ill fitting clothes, things that don't flatter and hide their bodies. When you are having a low body image day THAT'S THE TIME to wear your favorite dress or scarf or the pants that you love the most and you feel good in! This REALLY works. When you are comfortable in your clothes and you like what you are wearing and it compliments your good parts - AND YES WE ALL HAVE THEM!!! You will carry yourself with confidence. Confidence is SEXY!
2. GET YOUR BEAUTY REST
Kind of hard to feel sexy and in the mood when you're exhausted. Our bodies are so smart that when we sleep we maintain, rebuild and detoxify. ALL have a very attractive outcome!
3. SMILE
Ask anybody. The person at a party laughing and having fun or the person at a party sulking in the corner. Who do you think they'd rather spend time with? Who would YOU rather spend time with?
4. BELIEVE YOUR PARTNER
Your partner tells you that you are the most beautiful woman or the sexiest guy they know. You should believe it. You don't expect them to look like Brad Pitt so why do you think they expect you to look like Angelina Jolie? Think about it. You are the ONLY one putting unrealistic expectations on how sexy you are. And if your partner does make you feel less than sexy then you have to really explore the reasons you are with that person. Or at the very least communicate to them that they make you feel bad about your body. Maybe they don't know they are making you feel that way! A healthy relationship is an honest relationship where two people communicate and would never intentionally ever make the other person feel bad in any way. And seriously what kind of person would put your body down and then want to be intimate with you? Not someone who loves YOU!
5. CONNECT WITH YOUR BODY
Sexy people have control over their bodies. When you feel great about what you look like, feel like, and what you are capable of doing with your body... the sexy part comes naturally. If you haven’t gotten “in touch” with yourself in a while than DO IT. Knowing and understanding your body is essential to being a strong and sexy individual. How can you possibly tell someone else what makes you feel sexy, turns you on or excites you when YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW?
And finally...Just say it! “I am sexy.” How many different ways can you say it? Try it out loud. I AM sexy. i am SEXY. I AM sexy. I AM SEXY. I am sexy. KEEP SAYING IT.
*Probably best not to try this on a crowded subway train or in the middle of a business meeting or at dinner with the in-laws* LOL
Sexy is feeling good about your self. It starts in the brain. Then it goes to the body. We all have areas we don't like. We all have areas that we DO like. FOCUS on accentuating THOSE areas. It's good for the body, mind and soul.
Work your mojo magic and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU.
BE NUTRILICIOUS...just for today :)
