Body Image

Your body image has little to do with what you actually look like.

 

It's much more about:

The following exercises will help you to change how you feel about yourself, so you can feel confident in your body.

How you see your body

How you think about your body

How you feel about your body

How you behave in relation to your body

Body Appreciation

So often we are caught up in how we look that we forget to think about all of the things our bodies can do. Appreciating, respecting and honouring your body for what it is capable of doing can help you to feel more satisfied with your body and move away from worrying too much about your appearance.

Feeling Fat

Feelings of fatness have little to do with our actual physical appearance. These feelings can fluctuate in intensity and frequency from day to day - sometimes you feel fine, sometimes you feel 'fat'.

The reality is that our bodies don't change that quickly. So they're probably not the problem.

Comparing Ourselves
To Others

So often we are caught up in how we look that we forget to think about all of the things our bodies can do. Appreciating, respecting and honouring your body for what it is capable of doing can help you to feel more satisfied with your body and move away from worrying too much about your appearance.

Body Checking Behaviours

There's nothing wrong with looking at yourself every now and then but there's a big difference between simply fixing your appearance and constantly feeling compelled to inspect, scrutinise and pick at your body.

 

Reducing your body checking behaviours can help you improve your body image.

Unhelpful Thoughts

We all talk to ourselves, often without realising. We often don't see the connection between our thoughts, and interpretations and how we feel and act.

 

In order for us to feel better, we need to address our internal talk.
