Constantly remind yourself that changing your body will not change your life.
Changing your body will not change you.
Your body is just one small detail.

Once I lose 10 pounds everything will be better.
If I were smaller, more people would like me.
Hes not interested in me because Im fat.
I look awful in this outfit and now Im late for work.
Have you ever had these thoughts before?
Its easy to believe that our weight or our body shape defines us.
Going through life hating your body or constantly trying to change your body is such a waste.
Its a waste of YOU.
And just as a heads up: body positivity isnt something that happens suddenly.
It wont happen overnight.
It takes time and practice, and a shifting of your views.
But I promise, it does happen.
And its so worth it.
Read The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up.Maybe even read it twice.
And then go crazy with your closet.
Get rid of anything that doesnt bring you joy.
Right along with your new tidying up mindset, get rid of the scale.Trash it.
Just get it out of your house!
Beauty is not measured in pounds.
Your scale can easily change your mindset.
You dont need this punch in of judgment in your life!
Buy new clothes.Buy clothes that you feel confident in; that make you feel good.
Try thrift stores or websites such as ThredUp that offer discounted used clothing.
There are plenty of ways to restyle without spending loads of money.
Start with body neutrality.Shift your goal from loving your body to being neutral about your body.
So instead, think about body from a neutral stance.
Practice breathing exercises and body strengthening practices.
What good does putting yourself down do for you anyways?
Body negative thoughts dont contribute to or better your life in anyway.
Nurture your body.Treat your body well.
Youll start to see it as something that is worth loving.
So dive in deep and start showing your body some love!
Take lavendar bubble baths, or order some new organic bath bombs online!
Try different lotions or essential oil treatments.
Experiment with calming or relaxing teas.
There are infinite ways it’s possible for you to spread the love to your body.
Constantly remind yourself that changing your body will not change your life.
Changing your body will not change you.
Your body is just one small detail.
Its just a vessel for the beautiful soul that it carries through this world.
Your body was built this way for a reason.
