Instantly Love Yourself Just A Little More With These Great Tips
Body image can be everything. When you feel lousy about your body, you will feel lousy about everything else in your life, too. It is a real struggle. It can prevent you from moving forward with your health and fitness routine, it can stand in the way of achieving career success and it can eat away at your relationships. These feelings can be incredibly lonely and isolating.

So, on days when you feel stifled by your own inward looking negativity, know that you aren't alone. Know that it is possible to feel better. The following tips are small things, but they can make a BIG difference in the way you are feeling about yourself!

1. Spray some perfume
According to a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science, grooming can have a positive impact on body image. Putting on a little splash of perfume can go a long way to making you feel brighter and happier.2. Treat yourself
Treating yourself to a massage can make you feel relaxed, calm and serene. When you get down on your body, do something nice for it. It will thank you by releasing happy hormones. [bctt tweet="Instantly Love Yourself Just A Little More With These Great Tips"]3. Make a list of the people you admire
When you feel the negative self talk coming along, make a list of the people you admire most in this world. Think hard and be honest. When you're done, look at the list and think about why you admire those people. Are any of them on there because they are 'thin' and/or 'perfect' looking? Our guess is no. You can show love and admiration for other people for a whole host of reasons, and we're willing to bet that you possess some of those admirable qualities too!4. Appreciate what your body does for you
Your body is a remarkable machine. Every day it performs complex tasks that keep you alive. It does these things without you even noticing. Take a second and think about how complex your cardiovascular system is. Your body is constantly regenerating parts of itself from your skin to your bones to keep you going. Be grateful!
