I used to be really hard on myself about how I looked. Now, I avoid comparing myself to others and focus on the things I like about myself, even if they’re small. Celebrating these little things has improved my confidence.
Body image issues are something I deal with daily. Talking to someone I trust really helps, as they often see things in me that I overlook. Sometimes, you just need a friend’s perspective to lift you up.
There are days when negative thoughts just take over. I’ve started keeping a journal where I write down one thing I appreciate about my body each day. Over time, this has helped me build a more positive perspective.
I’ve had days where I’d rather avoid the mirror altogether. Something that’s helped is surrounding myself with positive people who lift me up. They remind me to see myself through kinder eyes.
I’ve struggled with body image for as long as I can remember, always feeling like I wasn’t ‘good enough.’ What’s helped is practicing gratitude for what my body can do, like dancing or hiking, instead of focusing only on how it looks.
