Summer Body? Shift from Body Shame to Body Brilliance: A New Way to Approach the Summers

Summer is a time for relaxation, exploration, and enjoyment. Whether you’re taking a vacation, spending time outdoors, or simply enjoying a refreshing treat.

As summer approaches, many people start to feel anxious about achieving their “summer body“. The pressure to conform to societal beauty standards can be overwhelming, and many people are left feeling discouraged and defeated when they don’t achieve their desired results.

It’s important to remember that your body is so much more than its appearance. Instead of focusing on achieving a “perfect” body, we should shift our attention to promoting body brilliance and body positivity.

Appreciate you are unique

"Recognise that everyone’s body is unique and different."

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to health and fitness, and what works for one person may not work for another. Instead of striving to achieve a certain body type, we should focus on promoting overall health and well-being.

When we shift our focus from appearance to health, we can feel more empowered and in control of our bodies.


Comparison is the Thief of Joy

"Stop comparing yourselves to others and embrace your Individuality."

Social media can be a breeding ground for comparison and it can also create a false sense of reality.

We can easily feel like we don’t measure up when we see images of people who fit society’s narrow definition of beauty. However, it’s important to remember that social media only shows a small, curated glimpse of people’s lives.

Most of us don’t share our failures, or flaws in social media. We never know what someone else is going through, and comparing ourselves to others only leads to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt.


Celebrate your differences

Instead, let’s celebrate our differences and embrace our unique qualities. Our bodies are capable of amazing things, and we should focus on what they can do rather than what they look like.

Whether it’s running a marathon, lifting weights, or simply taking a walk outside, every movement our body makes is a celebration of its strength and resilience.


Appreciate your body

Yes, that’s right appreciate your body.
We need to learn to promote body positivity and acceptance.
This means embracing bodies of all shapes and sizes and challenging the narrow beauty standards that society has imposed on us.
When we shift our focus to body positivity, we can create a more inclusive and accepting world where all bodies are celebrated and valued.
One way to promote body positivity is to surround ourselves with positive influences. This may mean unfollowing social media accounts that make us feel bad about ourselves, and seeking out accounts that promote body acceptance and positivity.
We can also challenge negative self-talk and replace it with positive affirmations. When we start to view our bodies in a more positive light, we can feel more confident and empowered in our own skin.

All summer offers is a chance to unwind and embrace the joys of life, rather than creating a fake illusion that can make us lose sight of what’s truly important.

While it can be tempting to compare ourselves to the images we see online, it’s important to remember that these images are often staged and do not represent reality. Instead of striving for an ideal summer body, we should focus on cultivating body positivity and embracing inner happiness.
