Body-shamed people face a lot of issues and struggle to be happy. Here are 7 steps to overcome body shaming issues and be happy again.
1. Replace negative self-talk with positive
You need to quiet down the constant voice that pops up its ugly head in your mind telling you that you are too tall or short or too fat or thin. Replace these negative self-talks with positive ones.
2. Come out of hiding
Instead of covering yourself up and staying hidden, come out of your hiding. Take baby steps by going outside with less coverage and gauge how you feel and see whether you want to move further and out of your comfort zone.
3. You are more than just a body
You have a greater value as a person apart from your physical self even if you are not satisfied with your body. Your thoughts, feelings, actions matter a lot.
4. Move in ways that make you happy
Work on activities that would help you feel more comfortable with your body. Engage in activities such as walking, stretching, or dancing.
5. Discover and be thankful for your skin
Observe various parts of the body and be thankful for how they might have helped you. Thank your dry patch legs for having carried you too far.
6. Relax yourself
Don’t engage or push yourself into any physical activities to force your body to gain the desired shape. Do what makes your body relaxed and happy.
7. Love your body
The best way to overcome body shaming is to love your whole body. Accept all the flaws and dent it has. After all, it is your body and it is supposed to be unique.
