7/10/2019

When it comes to body confidence, we can all feel a little lacking in self esteem and pride over what we see in the mirror. And when someone you love, quite possibly more than anyone else in the world, is struggling with their self image, it’s only natural that you want to help them! But how can you do so? Without making them feel anymore self conscious or like they’re acting shallow? 

Well, there’s quite a few ways you can be supportive, without being overbearing or over confident on your own part. Here’s just a couple of the most tried and tested for you to look into -you never know how they could change the relationship between you and the one you love!

Leave Little Affirmations Around
the House

We all look for affirmation from time to time, when we’re feeling self conscious about the day we just had, or when we feel down about ourselves and how we look. As their partner, you’re going to be the first person they come to for reassurance - so make sure you offer it freely and openly whenever they need it!

But go the extra mile as well. Make sure they don’t start feeling bad about asking for reassurance, and make your affirmations a normal part of day to day life. Get some post it notes and write down the way you love their smile, or that their hair looks nice today, and leave them in spots all over the house. When they find a note, it’ll certainly bring a smile to their face. 

And it might seem a little weird for your partner at first, but soon enough, those little loving and encouraging post it notes will become part and parcel of your relationship. The more they’re randomly exposed to the words of love you wish they could think of for themselves, the more they’re going to believe what you’re saying! 
Set Some Boundaries
Every single relationship needs to have boundaries to it, to make sure respect for each other is maintained. So if your partner is starting to hate the way they look, and you’re noticing the signs, make sure to sit them down and ask them about the mood they’re in. When you do this, in a friendly and open atmosphere, you can start to talk openly about what you need from each other in moments like these. 

And that’s where boundaries come in. If your partner is feeling self conscious about being undressed around you, and it’s affecting the intimacy of your relationship, talking about means you can set rules for when physically reaching out is OK, and when it isn’t. And this simple little action can take the Sex Therapy & Counselling option off the table before you even think you might need it. 
You love your significant other, and you want them to be able to love themselves, so make sure you can encourage this behavior! It’s a very important for the strength of the relationship you have.
