{Five Fab} Ways to Get Your Body Positive Groove Back
Remember how Stella flew to Jamaica to get her groove back after being burned out at home and her personal life. Well, this little list here will do the same for you, minus the Taye Diggs (sorry ladies).
Once in a while some event, nasty words or unwanted “advise” about our weight or bodies kicks us off our body positive groove. Sometimes it’s even our own thoughts or past habits that resurface– trust me it happens to all of us.
The thing is we have to figure out the best way to overcome those obstacles and not allow them to send us down a spiral of negativity.
So today I’m sharing with you 5 of the most effective ways I’ve learned to kick negativity out the door and get my body positive groove back.
1. Surround yourself with positive words
There is nothing I enjoy more than reading affirmative or inspirational quotes. You can find so much strength in words and that’s what makes them so powerful. Which is also why people always say to be careful how you use them, how you choose to wield your power. Do you use them to tear others down or to uplift them? But that, my lovelies, will be a whole other discussion. Right now we’re focusing on inspiring yourself out of a rut.
So here are a few inspiring quotes & images from the amazing Anastasia Amour. You can save them to your computer, use them as your phone’s wallpaper or my favorite option print them and hang them or place them on your desk– anywhere they’ll be visible for daily inspiration.
2. Finding some time to self care
Something as simple as reading a good book, listening to music, taking a soothing bath or lighting some candles are good for your soul. Sometimes the simplest things are the most rejuvenating. Believe me my lovelies, taking some me time is always a good thing.
3. Listening to empowering music
I’ve been doing this for YEARS. The music may change but the results of feeling absolutely magnificent and full of energy are still the same. All you need for this task is a radio, Pandora, Google Music, Spotify, You Tube– heck, anything that will play music and play it loud. Check your inhibitions at the door and just let go! To give you a head start I’m hooking you up with this Beyoncé playlist right here made just for you, after all she is the queen of getting you bodied.
4. Impromptu Fashion Show
Don’t you judge me! Ha, ha, ha but this right here is fun as heck. I normally combine #2 and #3 for maximum results. Now, all this requires is a full length mirror, that’s it and a few choice outfits. Just let the music take you from there.
Oh but um just be warned if you get too inspired there might be a little organizing to do afterwards.
5. Turning off Social Media
Social media– I love it, I’m probably a little addicted to it, but I know that a lot of times it’s filled with so much negativity that the best thing to do for your own sanity is to simply walk away.
Yep! I know, I know some of you might have actually gasped at the suggestion but on a serious note disconnecting from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other account you might be hooked on is sometimes good for your sanity. Even if its for a day, it will make a difference.
There you have it my lovelies, 5 fab ways to get your positive body groove back. Hope you enjoyed them.
