Feeling Good Naked

Well, bathing suit season is here and that may not feel like good news to you….So how can you look better in a swimsuit or even naked… 

 When being naked no longer feels fun, free and comfortable, it’s time to take a good long look in the mirror and rid yourself of your bad body image.  

Think about what you are eating. Foods like beans and lentils contain high amounts of protein, fiber and healthy carbs. Yet, because of their high fiber content, they can cause bloating in sensitive individuals, especially for those who aren’t used to eating a lot of fiber 

Just like your vehicle, your body could probably use a little polishing. But we’re not talking the “wax on, wax off” variety. We’re talking about a natural scrub that will gently slough away those embarrassing rough patches on the knees, elbows and shins. 

Water may just be one of the best things you can do to keep your skin and body looking young and plump. Staying hydrated promotes circulation, digestion and helps repair skin 

Finally, love your body 

Confidence is the best ego-booster you have. Look, most of us don’t have bodies that mimic Greek gods — that’s just not realistic 

So instead of looking in the mirror and picking apart everything to hate, look in the mirror and list the things you love about your body and self.
