Summer is a time that can influence your relationship with your body. With the arrival of warm weather, many discussions about physical appearance come to the forefront, especially the well-known concept of the "summer body." However, this isn't always beneficial for everyone. So, this summer, let's adopt to the right mindset, not to please everyone, but to fully enjoy this season without feeling insecure. Today, we're sharing with you some keys to finding more harmony with your body for this summer.
Surround yourself well
When it comes to self-confidence, especially regarding your physical appearance, the main source of discomfort often lies with others. Take advantage of your vacation time to surround yourself with people who value you and don't make you feel uneasy. Always remember that their opinion doesn't define your worth. This applies to all seasons, not just summer. It's essential to remember that your well-being and happiness are your priorities. Don't let others' comments or judgments affect you. Every body is unique and beautiful in its own way, and no one has the right to make you feel otherwise.
Adopt positive discourse
Our society often encourages easy criticism, especially when it comes to physical appearance. Therefore, it's important to be mindful of how you perceive others, so as not to contribute to their discomfort. Pay attention to the looks you give at the beach, to hurtful jokes, and to negative remarks you may make. Be particularly mindful of your words and actions towards others. Don't participate in a culture of criticism and judgment. Instead, promote kindness and acceptance of body diversity.
Feel free in your clothes
Once you've eliminated external factors related to your body image, it's important to refocus on yourself. Summer is a time when the heat pushes us to reveal more, wear swimsuits at the beach, feel the warmth, and therefore sweat. These elements can be sources of discomfort. To avoid feeling uneasy, dress comfortably. Don't just follow fashion trends, but rather focus on what brings you the most well-being in your daily life. Look for shapes, materials, and colors in which you feel good, and treat yourself to a little shopping session. The goal is to find clothes that make you feel at ease and allow you to feel good in your own skin. Don't let societal norms dictate what you should wear or how you should feel. Listen to your body, its needs, and its preferences.
Practice self-care
With the upcoming vacation, you may have more free time to spare. It's time to take a break and dedicate this time to yourself by exploring the benefits of self-care. It's not just about exercising but also about engaging in activities such as self-massage, relaxing baths, heart coherence, or meditation. These different gentle practices allow your body and mind to reconnect and develop a new harmony.
In summary, cultivate kindness in your daily life and surroundings, and you'll move towards peace between your body and mind. Enjoy!
