Most women are uncomfortable with their naked bodies. Instead of seeing beauty, all they see are flaws. However, it's incredibly unhealthy for women to view themselves in such a negative way. That's why it's time you learn to love yourself, even when you're nude. If you're uncomfortable stripping down, here's how to feel good naked without changing a thing about yourself:
When you strip down to shower or to pick out your clothes for the day, put on some upbeat music. That way, you'll learn to associate your nudity with being happy. It's the best way to trick your brain into feeling comfortable while naked.
Your body looks entirely different from different angles. So if you aren't happy with what your curves look like when you stare at them straight on in the mirror, you should turn your body to see what you look like from the side and from the back. When you find the right angle, you might realize that you actually love what you look like!
It's time to grab some paper and a pen. Now, list all of the things you love about your body. No, you can't just list them in your mind. You should actually write them down, so that you can look at them whenever you're feeling insecure about yourself. Don't worry about the list being short, because you'll be able to come up with way more things than you'd originally assume.
If you're dating a guy who has seen you naked, really listen to him when he compliments you. Don't ignore all the nice things he says about your waist and your chest. Take them to heart. He'll prove that others can see your body's beauty, even when you're blind to it.
Cut any and all negative words out of your vocabulary. When you look at your body, you don't have to compliment it, but you're not allowed to criticize it. When you stop tearing yourself apart for every little thing you see, you'll realize you're a lot happier with yourself.
This might not sound like the best idea, considering the women you see on TV always look unbelievably gorgeous. That's why you shouldn't look at celebrity pictures from magazines or scenes from movies. Instead, look at pictures of normal people on the internet. Then you'll see your body isn't inferior. It's just normal.
Even the skinniest women will look like they have a big belly when they're hunched over. So if you're uncomfortable with what you look like naked, you might just have to sit or stand in a different position. Lean your legs a different way or stand up straighter and you'll see a huge difference in what you look like.
Even if you can't stand the sight of your naked body now, you'll eventually learn to see its beauty. Are you comfortable walking around in the nude or do you like to be clothed at all times?
