Body Confidence: What You Always Wanted To Know

10/5/2016

0 Comments

 
As women, we are under an almost daily pressure to look good. Retouched models in magazines, tiny dress sizes in stores and conflicting information about what we should be eating all adds up to a world that is pretty focused on what women look like. Chances are, if you've grown up over the last ten years, you will have felt the pressure at some point. The media still plays a huge role in how women are perceived. Just look at the amount of times a woman in the spotlight has accomplished something amazing, but the press only wants to talk about her weight. We are also at the mercy of women's magazines who can't seem to make up their minds about the message they are giving off. On one page there will be an article about body positivity - the next there will be a feature on the latest diet you need to try. In addition, the women who do turn to things like surgery are often publicly shamed for it. We believe it's important for you to do you, so take a look at these tips for feeling confident and gorgeous.

Embrace your natural looks

One thing we definitely don't do as a collective is embracing our natural features. That isn't to say that there's anything wrong with wearing makeup or doing your hair up. But consider going au natural just one day of the week. That could mean going fully bare faced, or stripping back your makeup routine to something with less coverage. If you've got naturally curly hair that you run straighteners through religiously each day, why not ditch them just this once? For every girl who hates their natural hair, there is a hoard of girls who would kill for it. Give it a shot and see how good it makes you feel!

Make informed decisions

If you've been unhappy with you body for years and have decided that a cosmetic procedure is right for you, make sure you do your research first. There's nothing wrong at all with a cosmetic procedure, providing you get it done for the right reasons. If an aspect of your body has bothered you for a long time and nothing you do is shifting the problem, it can be a viable option. Or, perhaps you have a medical condition that has left you with some unsightly scars. It is also important to visit a reputable surgery who will be able to take good care of you.

Take care of yourself

Taking care of yourself doesn't just mean eating healthily and going to the gym. In fact, that is just a small part of it. Taking good care of yourself is just as much to do with balance and your personal happiness. Yes, visit the gym a couple of times a week and eat what you know is good for you. But also allow yourself some treats and a night out with friends every once in awhile. You'll still look good, and you'll feel happy and confident to boot.
