While some people seem to be born with lashings of body confidence, others of us struggle when it comes to our self-esteem. The main problem is that we live in a world where there’s a lot of emphasis on physical perfection. And because of that, we sometimes feel like our bodies aren’t good enough. Annual ‘beauty’ crazes that come around each year, like the thigh gap phenomenon, don’t help the situation either. Nor do social media sites like Instagram, that are plastered with ‘perfect’ people.

Being body confident won’t happen overnight, but there are simple ways you can slowly boost how you feel about yourself. If you want to be more body confident and learn to love your body, here’s what you need to do:

Focus on what you love about yourself

Okay, so your body might some ‘problem areas’ but that doesn’t mean you’re not beautiful. Instead of focusing on the negatives about your body, such as the areas you don’t like, focus on the positives. While you might not like one part of your body, the chances are that there’s something about yourself that you like. Be it your lovely long hair, your pouty lips or your long legs, find the things that you like about yourself. You’ll find that by thinking about what you like, rather than what you don’t like, your body confidence will increase.

Treat your body how it deserves to be treated

One of the most common reasons for low self-esteem is not treating your body how it deserves to be treated. The truth is, you’ll never be proud of your body if you don’t take proper care of it. This means ensuring that you lead a healthy lifestyle, and also, that you make an effort to take care of your skin, nails and hair. With bright skin, painted nails and styled hair, you’ll feel 100 times better about yourself. You may also find that having a tattoo or getting a piercing, along with some jewellery from Piercing Mania for it, will boost your self-esteem.

Walk like a celebrity

Just like everyone else, celebrities have flaws, and yet, they don’t act like it. They strut their stuff down the red carpet looking like they don’t have a care in the world. The reason celebrities are so confident with their looks is because they act as if they’re flaws don’t bother them. No matter what they dislike about themselves, they hide it. And no matter what, always act as if they have lashings of confidence, even when they don’t. Want to beat your low self-esteem? All you need to do is follow in their footsteps and fake it until you make it. Act like you’re confident and happy with your body, and trust me, in time, you will be.

There you have it, all the best tips for boosting your self-esteem and learning to love your body. Take note of these, and you can up your confidence and become happier with the body you’ve been given.
