On a scale of one to 10, how do you feel about your body?
What does sexy mean to you?
I’ll be honest: I’m not a huge fan of the term “sexy.” It makes me think of the kind of person who’s all about looks and not so much about brains. But maybe that’s just me.
I know that plenty of people define sexy as confidence, but it’s more than that for me. I’d say sexy is being comfortable in your own skin—so comfortable that you don’t even notice what your body looks like anymore because you’re too busy having fun.
How do you feel about your body? On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate it?
Individuals who possess a positive body image tend to have lower occurrences of self-deprecating thoughts. As a result, they are less likely to develop harmful eating habits and succumb to feelings of depression. Having a positive view of one’s physical appearance promotes both self-acceptance and a greater sense of self-worth. Your attitude towards diet and exercise is also altered by it.
The reflection we see in the mirror is not always the sole source of our body image. You can write about your self-image in your thoughts or your experience of bodily movements. The development of this phenomenon is attributable to an assortment of occurrences and observations one acquires over the course of their lifetime. The standards we see around us have led to its creation.
We often think of our bodies as the tools we use to get through life, but so often they’re the thing that gets in the way. If you’ve ever had a moment where you felt like your body was betraying you, there’s no need to despair! Today we’re going to talk about what sexy means to everyone, and how we can reclaim our bodies from all those negative thoughts and feelings.
The first step is to understand that sexy means different things to different people. For some people, sexy means being able to run a marathon; for others, it might mean having perfect abs or toned arms. For some people, “sexy” has nothing at all to do with their physical appearance; for others, it’s all about looking good in clothes (or not). The point is that sexy is whatever makes YOU feel amazing—and if we can all agree on that one thing, then we can work together on dispelling some myths about what makes someone attractive.
The next step is understanding that your body isn’t something separate from yourself; it’s part of who you are! Love Yourself for who you are Queens!
