Spend time with yourself
Take some time away from scrolling through instagram and tiktok, always being
connected can become draining after a while, and it’s important to remember that your
self care needs are important too.
Try putting the phone down and taking a walk outside, doing some guided meditations,
taking a bubble bath, working on a mindfulness journal, taking up knitting, or signing up
for a yoga class once a week, schedule yourself a Self Discovery Boudoir Session.
Whatever it is, make sure you are checking in with your emotions.
Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
It’s easy to look at someone else’s life, outfit, body shape, hair, whatever and think “I
wish i had that” We do this as a way of defining ourselves, trying to figure out who we
are by focusing on what we lack.
Surround yourself with positive people, focus on your strengths, and if you are unhappy
learn to compete with yourself instead of those around you. Practice gratitude, and
participate enthusiastically in the successes of others.
Do Something nice for yourself
Giving yourself a gift is always rewarding, like stopping by starbucks on the way home
from a super long day at work.
Learning how to love yourself is a process, seeing countless photos of “ideal women” on
the internet can be disheartening. Boudoir photography is a wonderful way to challenge
the inner voice in your head telling you that you aren’t good enough, and it challenges
the way society views beauty as well. During the sessions you are in complete control of
everything, from how much to how little clothes you have on to what you want your goal
to be. Photography captures your story in such an elegant light, you walk away feeling
empowered and beautiful.
Surround yourself with body positive images and messages
If you spend a lot of time in your office, consider printing and hanging up some images
and quotes that make you feel empowered, and remind you of your beauty (including
photos of yourself where you feel confident). Follow social media accounts that will flood your feed with positivity and kindness.
No Negative self talk or self limiting beliefs
Negative self talk even in our head is so damaging to our confidence and self esteem.
You wouldn’t allow anyone else to speak down to you, you don’t deserve the abuse from
yourself either. The most common self limiting beliefs and phrases are “im not good
enough. I’m not smart enough. I can’t do this.” change the way you talk to yourself, and
your body will thank you.
