Body image is a struggle that a lot of people experience. It is something that can ultimately affect many different areas of your life. You may think twice about going to the beach and putting a swimsuit on, or you may shy away from starting a new relationship with someone. Working on our body image is important. Learning to not only accept yourself but also to like yourself is so powerful. If you find yourself struggling with body image, here are a few affirmations to tell yourself every single day.

“I Am More Than What I See in the Mirror”
You are someone with skills, knowledge, talents, love, and so much more. Who you are is not simply a reflection of how you look. Sometimes we all need reminders that we are so much more than what we see in the mirror.

“I Will Treat My Body With Kindness and Respect”
Nobody is perfect. Social media has a way of putting images of people in front of us that look pretty near perfect. Those images are not reality. That person not only has professionals taking the picture, doing hair or makeup, but also talented editors making that image into what you see. Show your body kindness and respect, and remember that you are amazing and you are real.

“My Body Can Do Great Things”
Our bodies are pretty amazing when you think about it. We put ourselves through strenuous activities every day, and our bodies persevere as always.

“I Make the World Brighter by Being in It!”
Remembering that you add to the world is amazing! You make an impact on those around you, brighten people’s day, and create joy and happiness. Your looks probably have little to do with the impact you make every day. Be proud of who you are and what you bring into the world every single day.
Affirmations can be one tool to help you work on body image. Reminding yourself that you are so much more than what you look like is powerful. So often, our body image struggles have deeper-rooted issues and challenges beneath the surface. Working on our deeper issues can then help us to work on other struggles such as body image. Many times it is hard to know where to begin, how to work on these struggles, or even really understand what we are feeling and experiencing. Here at The Guest House, we are a group of professionals with extensive experience helping others work through challenges just like these.
