6 Tips For Squashing Negative Self-Talk and Feeling More Confident in Your Own Skin

When you're feeling down about your body, remind yourself of all the good things it can do. This is a great opportunity to use meditation to center your mind. "Acknowledging the usefulness of our bodies can be a way to extend kindness to ourselves," Lisa S. Larsen, PsyD, told POPSUGAR. "Doing meditations that focus on body awareness without judgment can also be very helpful."

Dr. Larsen suggests focusing a breath on each part of your body while you name, acknowledge, and appreciate it. "Acknowledging and appreciating each body part can start to forge a friendlier, more neutral relationship with one's own body," she said.
