30 Ways To Love Your Body

1.) We are born with love in our bodies. If you watch an infant, sucking their fingers, rolling around, they don't worry about their "body fat"

2.) Try to be as in love with your body as the infant is with it's.

3.) Think of your body as a tool. Create a list of all the things you can do with your body.

4.) Be aware of what your body does each and every day, as the instrument of your life not as an ornament for others.

5.) Create a list of the people you admire. Did their appearance play a large role to their success and their accomplishments?

6.) If the people you admirer's appearance did not matter to them then why should yours to you?

7.) Think of your body as a pleasure source. What are something's that you like or admire about a particular body part.

8.) Do some things that will help you to enjoy your body. Choose some things that make you feel special and relaxed, or the same, and energized. For example take a stretch, dance, walk, sing, take a bubble bath, get a massage, or even get a pedicure.

9.) Act in a way if you would have the perfect body.

10.) Walk with your head held up high, supported with pride and confidence in yourself and a person.

11.) Don't let the weight of you body determine what you do on a normal day. Do what you enjoy, and have fun at it.

12.) Wear comfortable clothing that you are not afraid to be in, and that you are not afraid to show to others.

13.) Remember to count your blessings, and not your blemishes.

14.) How much time do you spend looking at your body in disgust? Just don't do it! Look at the good, or nice qualities that you have, and be proud of them.

15.) Did you know that each month your skin replaces itself, every five days your stomach lining, every six weeks your liver, and every month, even your skeleton! Your body is a pretty extraordinary thing. Now respect it and appreciate it! You owe it to yourself.

16.) Become an expert on your body, challenge the authority of the fashion magazines, the cosmetic industry, the Metropolitan Weight Tables by allowing your beauty to shine throughout your personality, and brighten a new day.

17.) Be one of your bodies allies and advocates. Don't let your body be your enemy.

18.) Every morning you wake up, thank your body for resting itself so you can enjoy the day ahead.

19.) Every evening when you go to bed, tell your body how happy you are that it let you have a wonderful, fun-filled day.

20.) Find a way to exercise, and begin to practice it so that you end up doing it on a regular basis. But don't do it to loose weight, do it to enjoy your body.

21.) Think back to a time when you enjoyed your body. Tell your inner self that you can feel that way again, even in your body, at your age.

22.) Look and go through some family photo albums-find the beauty and love that you value in those faces-and treasure them in your heart.

23.) Tell 10 positive things about yourself, without mentioning your appearance.

24.) Take a look in your closet. Do you wear any clothes that hide yourself? Think about why you wear what you wear.

25.) Decide to wear clothes if they only give you power, energy, and most importantly, comfort.

26.) Take the time to put a sign on your mirrors that says "I'm beautiful, inside and out."

27.) If you only had one year left to live, how important would your body image be?

28.) Start saying to yourself, " Life is to short to waste my time on my image and hating my body. Look how wonderful I am inside."

29.) Look to find the beauty inside yourself.

30.) Last but not least, remember this note: "Beauty is only skin deep."
