building body confidence

Hello Everyone :) I've made a few changes to my blog, well not a few, quite a substantial amount considering I've been at it for the past three hours! However I adore it now in a way I didn't before. At first I thought only my content mattered, but I quickly realised after reading many blogs I was drawn in by the pretty colours and design. So here is what I came up with. I love it. Onto the post..

 Here are my top 4 tips to building body confidence.

1.  Listen to the sunscreen song. Trust me, you'll love it!

The line 'Your body is the greatest instrument you will ever own' is so true. 

Work it. Own it. Appreciate it.

2. Do not compare yourself to others, you have your own unique qualities that others will love. You cannot be them, do not waste your time wishing to. Admire style and confidence, take from others what you can in that sense and grow using this, however you are you and will only ever be you.. remember it!

3. Do not listen to what anybody else says. Yes, we are all influenced by what other people think of us but it will only make you feel worthless to listen to other people scrutonise the way you look. Turn name calling into a positive - you have a quality of kindness that that person certainly does not have! It is hard but try to not give a damn, the people who love you and who are most important in your life will respect you for you, just the way you are. Remove the negative people from your life.

4. Set goals. If you are not happy with something about your body - change it. Whether you get a boob job, or go on a drastic diet, it does not matter! All that matters is your happiness, and your confidence because ultimately the way you feel on the outside affects your mental health. Fix it and move on.

I hope these tips have been helpful and that they shed some light on how to love and appreciate your body, and not give a damn! I shall update shortly. Love Sophie x
