Feel Better about Yourself Naked
Improve Your Sexual Self-confidence and Sex Life in Minutes
Nov 5, 2008
Most people have something about themselves that they don’t like physically. Women in particular tend to report lower levels of sexual satisfaction because they are distracted by body image issues. How do you retrain yourself and move beyond any perceived imperfections? How do you learn to love your body and feel great naked? Here are a few quick tips to get you started.
Spend Time Naked
The easiest way to increase your comfort with your naked self is to spend time naked. When you are home alone reading a book or watching television, do it in the buff. Start small and work your way up to increased amounts of time. After a while you will be able to let go of your self-consciousness and just be in the moment, focused on whatever you are doing. As you continue to do this, you will retrain your inner voice to not fret about the way you look while naked and just enjoy the activity at hand.
Pay Attention to Where You Look
When you look at yourself in the mirror does your gaze go to your best features? Or do you automatically analyze and criticize those features which give you grief? When you catch yourself doing this, retrain your gaze. Instead of looking at the parts of your body that you don’t like, retrain your focus to automatically go to those features which make you proudest to be you. Focus on those.
Be Aware of Negative Self-Talk
Too often many people aren’t even aware of the negative comments their minds feed them. When you stand naked in front of the mirror, pay attention to the voice in her your head. What messages are you sending yourself? If they are negative or critical, gently stop them and find something positive to say to yourself. Or, if that is too difficult in the beginning, then begin with simply stopping the negative self-talk. Gradually work your way up to saying something positive to yourself. It might feel strange to start, but stick with it and it will get easier.
Get Moving
Whatever physical activity you enjoy, find a way to get out and do it on a regular basis. Exercise releases endorphins which, essentially, make you happy and feel good. If you have a particularly bad body day, get out and do something for at least 20 minutes. Take a walk, go for a bike ride, jog or take a dance class. Anything that appeals to you. When the activity is complete check and see if you still feel as negative about your body as you did before the activity. Most of the time, the endorphins will win out and you will feel better. Well worth the 20 minutes!
Learn to Love the Skin You’re in
Though these seem like simple things and will likely feel awkward when you begin, if you stick with them you will gradually see a marked improvement in the way you feel about your body. With increased self-confidence will come increased pleasure in intimate moments as you free up your awareness and energy to focus on the moment at hand and really enjoy it.
