7 Tips for Summer Body Confidence
1. Remember you have the right to wear whatever you want
Want to wear a crop top? Wear it. Want to show off your gorgeous legs? Strut your stuff in shorts! Want to Lounge by the poolside in a gorgeous bikini? Do it. You should always wear whatever you like during summer. Plus, it’s fun to experiment with bold colours, styles and summery shades to truly get you into the summer spirit.
And remember, though it’s hard to push past those insecurities, we can assure you no one else is questioning your outfit choices. They probably think you look incredible.
2. Don’t compare yourself to people you see online
The instagram scrolling stops here, girls. No more summer body diets and certainly no more obsessing over ab-workouts on TikTok. You are beautiful just the way you are, so embrace your body for everything that it is and appreciate everything that it does for you. At heart, that's what summer body confidence is all about.
3. Don't scrutinise yourself for eating what you want
Good food is life! Ice cream, iced coffees, G&T’s? Yes, please! Summer is all about enjoying yourself with your girl gang, indulging in sweet treats and let’s not forget the endless BBQ’s. However you feel about your body, don’t let any last minute guilt take away your love for good food.
4. Follow positive accounts
Social media can quite literally make or break you. You don’t need to exercise three times a day to get the perfect summer body, restrict yourself of good food and invest in the latest ‘tummy tea’. Follow accounts that inspire you to live your best life and embrace your body, just how it is.
5. Set yourself up for confidence and compliments
Summer is all about looking and feeling good, so start as you mean to go on. Don’t overload yourself with self-criticism for eating one too many slices of pizza or for skipping your daily workout. Set yourself up for confidence and compliments by wearing clothes and swimsuits that make you feel good and doing things that you love.
6. Remember how much your body does for you
Your body is so much more than your love handles, the odd stretch mark or the little bits of cellulite you might have on your legs. Your body is a 24/7 machine, working hard every day to keep you fit, well and healthy.
7. Change your focus
First thing’s first: be mindful of your words. The way you speak about yourself can be self damaging. Instead of pointing out things that you think are ‘wrong’ with the way you are, change your focus by speaking positive affirmations into your daily routine. Remember, you are beautiful, you are strong and you are worthy. After all, confidence is what makes the ultimate summer body.
So, girls, get out there, embrace your own version of what a summer body really is and rewrite your narrative. It's time to create your own hot girl summer.
