Most people wish they had a picture-perfect body, but the truth is, it’s an impossible dream. Imperfections are part of what makes us human, and our love handles, crooked teeth, and birthmarks are things to be embraced, not banished and hidden away. Nor is there any universal ideal of a perfect body, as it differs from person to person and culture to culture.

No matter how many times you go to the gym or how healthy your diet is, you should never let the pursuit of your ideal body get in the way of your happiness and mental health. Many people fixate on losing weight and obtaining the elusive thigh gap and neglect their own wellbeing in the process. This subsequently leads to low self-esteem, reduced confidence, and anxiety. The happiest people in the world are not those with the most toned physiques and lowest body fat percentage: they are those who prioritize the important things in life that really matter. To help you boost your confidence and self-esteem, here are three tips to help you love your body.

Cleanse Your Body From Within

Have you been trying to improve your body shape without achieving any positive results? It can be disheartening when you can’t seem to get rid of an unwanted bulge. We’ve all been there. But despite following a strict fitness routine and signing up for promising weight management programs, you can’t seem to get what you want. 

Your body is an incredible machine that needs a lot of fine-tuning to perform. This fine-tuning is about improving your metabolism, the process that helps your body performs all its functions. A slow metabolism means that your body may not be working at 100% of its abilities, which makes it hard to shift the unwanted bulge. This happens when toxins and other elements accumulate and drain your metabolic response. It’s time for a cleanse!

There are a variety of scenarios whereby you would require the services of a lawyer. They can range from tax evasion, reckless driving, money laundering, damage to property, selling drugs, domestic violence, child pornography, manslaughter and of course murder. In the eventuality that you require the services of a criminal defense attorney, you want to ensure that you choose someone who would be supportive and help you build your case. 

Start Embracing Your Authenticity And Express Yourself With Your Style

 Wearing clothes you want to wear and using your style as a way to express yourself is a beautiful way to tell the world who you are. Why conform, when you could stand out? If you’re ready to start embracing your authenticity and express yourself with your style, read on for some advice! 

1. Cultivate Self Awareness

Before you can embrace your authenticity and begin expressing yourself with your style, you need to know exactly who you are. Look within and aim to do some introspection. Are you hiding from the world in some way? What do you wish people knew about you? If you were more confident, what would you wear? Knowing how you fit into the world and how you would like to fit into the world can help, too. You should even consider where you came from. All of these things can help you to cultivate more self awareness and help inspire your style choices. You'll know when you are making decisions based on the real you, rather than decisions based on other people. 

2. Feel The Fear - Do It Anyway

Stepping out of your style comfort zone can be scary. The key here is to feel the fear and do it anyway. Take that leap into the unknown and your life will appear. Prove to yourself that you can do anything! It might seem like a small deal compared to so many other changes and decisions, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Too often we hide behind clothes we don’t really like, and a style that does not reflect who we truly are just to avoid being seen. Let people see you in all of your glory! 

3. Dress With Intention

When you get dressed, do it with intention. Try not to base it on whatever is clean and ironed. How do you want to feel today? What sort of things are you going to be doing, and what sort of clothes will help you achieve that? You’d be surprised at how an outfit can completely change your mindset and mood. Your clothes can help you get to where you want to be just by changing your outlook. 

4. Practice Clashing 

Clashing patterns and colors can be so much fun and help you to stand out even more. Monochrome prints go with pretty much any other pattern, so see if you can start out with this until you’re more confident. Not everything you wear has to ‘match’. Think of your look as a work of art. Be an artist and just go with it! 

5. Buy Clothing From Companies You Believe In 

If you’re going to express yourself with your style, you need to think about more than just wearing clothes you really love. You need to be prepared to buy clothing from companies you believe in. If you want to do more for the planet, but you’re buying from fast fashion companies, your look is not going to reflect the kind of person you are. See if you can purchase clothing that will help support certain causes. Make it clear what you’re all about by giving your money to companies you love and believe in. It all makes a big difference and stops those huge corporations from exploiting their workers!
