Improving Your Body Image: How Positive Body Image Affirmations & a Coach Can Help

Keep reading to learn more about how holistic coaching and positive body affirmations can help you improve your body image and help you feel healthier and happier.
How Positive Affirmations Can Improve Body Image
Your body image describes how you feel about your outward appearance and is largely affected by inward thoughts and feelings. Women in helping professions with busy lifestyles balancing work and caretaking are often at risk for a negative body image.
A poor diet or neglect of self-care add up overtime. You may notice your clothes not fitting as well as they used to, or curves in places you never had before. You may feel self-conscious about these changes and hold a negative view of yourself and your body image.
These intrusive thoughts are hard to escape and only add to your general unhappiness with yourself and your body image. Positive body image affirmations help you retrain your inner dialogue to overcome negative self-talk.
When you can overcome your negative self-talk, your view of yourself changes. These positive inner changes can lead to healthier lifestyle choices, more energy and motivation, and eventually, physical changes.
Positive Body Image Affirmations Examples:
Below are examples of positive body image affirmations for improving body image:
"I love my body and what it does for me every day."
"My body is allowed to change and serves me well at every size."
"I'm allowed to feel beautiful at any weight."
"I treat my body with kindness and love because I appreciate what it does for me."
"My body is ever changing and adapting, I am a work in progress."
Recite these body image affirmations (or whichever body image affirmations work best for you) out loud to yourself every day. Any time you have a negative thought about your body, replace it with a positive affirmation.
Over time, you can retrain your brain to think positively about your body image instead of negatively.
