Accept & Love Yourself for Who You are

Workout for Your Needs but Not to Please Others

Loving others comes naturally only when you love yourself without bias. The human body is not a platform to showcase your beauty or status with fine jewelry matching your expensive clothing or feel reluctant about your own confidence owing to body shaming by people around and the idea of a perfect body image depicted in social media, magazines, movies, television and elsewhere which makes it even more challenging to maintain a positive attitude towards your own body. The first step towards loving yourself and your body is by overcoming these negative influences and implement self-love in your everyday activities. Accept yourself as such without if’ and but’s. Start loving yourself with the help of the options given below:
​
Movement Should not become your Weak Moment
Not many enjoy the idea of exercising or moving around simply for the sake of activity. For some, it is actually a painful affair which they think of as an arduous task. In reality, exercise should lighten your mood, improve your health and keep you cheerful. A study even shows that people who exercise for at least twice a week are much happier and peaceful comparatively with such advantages steadily increasing as the exercise frequency climbs the graph.

Ample evidences pile up against the ill effects of sitting down and this makes it even more clear that movement is critical to improve well-being of an individual. By well-being it includes both mental and physical well-being which focuses on minimization of stress, depression and anxiety and improvement of overall life quality. Explore different options available and get habituated to those movements that keep you happy and content in life.

Feeling Amazing
Exercising is not only about numbers. There are many other critical outcomes of exercising beyond your weight loss and a toned body. It helps you determine your state of energy, rest, emotive differences (such as being happy or sad) and whether or not you cherished the entire process of workout. Here again, it is useful to observe the situations and habits that make you feel elated and stress-free. If there are not many, it is better to focus your attention on some mind relaxing techniques such as meditation or yoga that can help you free the mind, analyze the inner self and improve feelings towards your own self. Meditation and yoga are sought-after techniques for relaxing the mind but there are other few relaxation techniques that do justice as well. Lear about them at www.firsteatright.com.

Pamper Yourself Every now & Then
I’ve heard many individuals feel proud to have an hour for themselves in between an entire week or some lucky few have a day for themselves (mostly Saturday or Sunday). First, realize that keeping yourself fit (mentally and physical) can only make you fit for helping others. Follow your body’s cues and give it some cushion time to recover. Relax your mind and body by taking a small nap, going for a stroll or reading a book. Some love to pen down their thoughts and it is appreciable that these individuals start writing down something genuinely. Paying attention to the positive things in life boosts your overall self and makes you aware of the advantages in life.

Be Surrounded with Positive Thoughts & People
The proverb ‘Tell me your friend, I will tell you who you are’ proves to be absolutely true to the extent that people are easily influenced by things and people surrounding them. Surround yourself with positive people and you start feeling good but being amidst a group of pessimists kills your instincts and pushes you down the gutter. When a person chooses to be a part of a larger group of friends, family and neighbors the chances of exercising and following the schedule is even higher as he/she has a group who relies on his/her participation too. The Internet has everything to offer and it depends on the person using it to choose wisely. Only follow those social media sites that improve positivity, appreciate self-love and unfollow those which put down your efforts and body shame people. Surrounding yourself with positive thoughts and a positive environment definitely makes you experience better outcomes owing to a supportive environmental presence.
