Episode 105: why getting dressed is the fastest way to change your negative body image
Today’s episode is the first in a series I’m going to be doing around how to improve body image. There’s so much to cover in this space and I want what I’m sharing to feel really doable instead of overwhelming. So I’m going to focus on one specific idea/skill per episode. And today is all about the fastest way to change your body image.
Let’s talk about getting dressed.
In our new post pandemic, work from home, athleisure dominated world, getting dressed has taken on a new meaning.
There is a huge difference between throwing on leggings and a sweatshirt and putting together an outfit. And this doesn’t mean you have to be a stylist, but it may mean going outside your (literal and figurative) comfort zone and getting yourself off autopilot when you choose your clothes everyday.
Because what we wear has a HUGE impact on how we feel about our bodies.
I share some big changes I’ve personally made and the impact it has had on how I am feeling in my own skin.
If you have been struggling with thoughts around “why do I hate my body,” dealing with negative body image and lacking body confidence, this episode will offer you a really specific tool to begin responding to those thoughts in a productive, helpful way.
