The post What is Body Positivity? 3 Ways to Embrace the Movement appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>The journey toward body positivity starts with self-compassion. Instead of fixating on what you perceive as flaws or comparing yourself to others, try to treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you’d offer to a friend. Everyone has imperfections—inside and out—and they don’t define your worth. Focus on your strengths and the qualities that make you unique instead.
Your environment plays a major role in shaping your body image, especially when it comes to the content you consume. Follow accounts and creators that share body-positive messages that make you feel empowered, and unfollow or mute accounts that trigger negative self-perceptions. In daily life, try to surround yourself with people who uplift you and appreciate your inner qualities over physical appearance.
The mind and body are deeply connected, and engaging in activities that make you feel good physically will translate into improved self-image and wellbeing. Aim to do something to care for your body every day, whether it be practicing yoga, going for a walk, or taking a bath with your favorite essential oils.

]]>Start by treating yourself with kindness and compassion. Instead of criticizing your perceived flaws, focus on celebrating your body’s strength and uniqueness. Practice positive self-talk and challenge negative thoughts by replacing them with affirmations. Embrace the mantra that you are worthy and deserving of self-love.
Adopt a balanced and intuitive approach to eating. Listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues and honor its nutritional needs. Avoid restrictive diets and embrace the concept of intuitive eating, which involves nourishing your body with a variety of foods without guilt or shame. Focus on fueling your body for health and vitality rather than pursuing a specific appearance.
Shift your focus from your body’s appearance to its abilities. Engage in activities that make you feel strong and empowered. Celebrate what your body can do, whether it’s dancing, hiking, or practicing yoga. Embrace the joy of movement and engage in exercises that bring you pleasure rather than solely focusing on weight loss or aesthetics.
Recognize that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and forms. Challenge societal beauty standards by celebrating diversity and embracing body acceptance. Remind yourself that comparing your body to others is counterproductive and robs you of joy. Embrace your uniqueness and focus on self-acceptance rather than striving for an unrealistic ideal.

]]>Hashtags are one of the easiest ways to see if gyms are inclusive and body-positive. Also, look at the photos on gyms’ Instagram pages to see what types of people work out there.
Check Google, Mindbody, and Yelp for reviews to get an idea of what’s happening at the gyms. You’ll get an honest look at what they’re like.
As soon as you walk into a gym or studio, you’ll get the vibe of the place. Trust your initial impression as it’s most likely accurate.
Take a look at what’s written on the walls. Is it inclusive or are they promoting diet culture? Not everyone goes to the gym, trying to lose weight, so if the trainers are pushing that, it may be time to find a different place. A good trainer will ask you what your goals are without assuming them.

]]>The Only Murders in the Building star is the most-followed person on Instagram and often uses the platform to shut down body-shamers. Sadly, she herself has been victim to many of them while being under the scrutiny of the public eye.
“My weight would constantly fluctuate because I would be on certain medications. And obviously, people just ran with it,” Gomez said during an episode of Dear… on Apple TV+. “It was like they couldn’t wait to find a thing to bring me down. I was being shamed for gaining weight because of my lupus.”
The 30-year-old has struggled with the autoimmune disease since being diagnosed in her early twenties. The condition caused her to need a kidney transplant and has also had a major effect on her mental health.
During the interview, the “My Mind & Me” singer revealed that although she would put on a brave face on social media, hurtful comments about her appearance would greatly upset her.
“I would go online and I would post a picture of myself and I would say, ‘It doesn’t matter. I’m not accepting what you’re saying.’ All the while, being in the room posting and crying my eyes out because nobody deserves to hear those things.”
She added, “I was posting these things saying it doesn’t bother me because I didn’t want it to bother other people who are experiencing the same thing — getting shamed for what they look like, who they are, who they love. I just think it’s so unfair; I don’t think that anybody deserves to feel less than.”
We couldn’t agree more.

]]>Coined by body image coach Anne Poirier, body neutrality encourages us to think about our bodies in terms of function rather than appearance. Instead of trying to love our bodies, no matter the size, or hate our bodies because we don’t conform to restrictive beauty standards, striving for body neutrality can be a more accessible way to find self-acceptance.
Instead of exercising to change the way our bodies look or punishing ourselves, body neutrality tells us to exercise to make our bodies FEEL good. Movement can be a way of connecting with our bodies, relieving stress, and finding enjoyment, rather than a painful means to a superficial end.
There are many benefits of body neutrality in relation to fitness. You may find that you are able to build a more sustainable fitness routine when you’re not focused on unattainable weight loss goals. You might start to enjoy exercise more and actually get fitter because you’re having fun!
Many people find that they also sustain fewer injuries when exercising with a body neutrality mindset because they are more in tune with what their bodies need and when to stop.

]]>The reality is, though, that our bodies fluctuate throughout the day. The problem is, when we only see those “perfectly” flat stomachs on social media, we might subconsciously feel insecure when our stomach looks different after eating a nourishing breakfast—even though it’s totally normal!
Thankfully, people are showing off their bellies before AND after eating, to show the world that it’s okay. We love that people are promoting “normal” bodies on social media because it helps spread body positivity. It also shines a light on the fact that most of what we see on social media is carefully curated and not always an accurate view of what people look like throughout the day.
These posts show the side-by-side of their stomach when they first wake up, and then after eating. You can see that there is a difference, often their stomachs are a bit more full or plump-looking, which makes sense because their stomachs are full of yummy food!

]]>By all accounts, Selena Gomez looks perfect and her body shape is unachievable for many women, but that’s not stopping people from criticizing her. She’s dealing with this problem by simply ignoring negative comments because people are constantly telling her she’s “too big” or “too small” no matter how she looks.
Gomez was recently praised for being a body positivity icon for sharing a hilarious video where she refuses to tuck in her stomach and said that “real stomachs” are coming back. This video went viral at the perfect time and reminded us that it’s okay to just exist in your body during the summer months when everyone is trying to achieve the perfect “bikini body”.
Gomez was famously diagnosed with lupus and received a kidney transplant in 2017. She’s been very open about her fluctuating weight ever since, but she’s not putting pressure on herself to look the same way she did when she was 19 because her physical and mental health comes first.

]]>In the age of social media, we all tend to compare ourselves to other people every once in a while. This is the main reason why summer can be so triggering, but it’s important to realize there’s more to life than social media and that no one is as perfect as they seem.
You’ve probably seen countless motivational posts suggesting you only need to do two things to achieve “bikini body”—have a body and wear a bikini. The concept of a perfect “bikini body” is pretty toxic and unrealistic, and now’s better time than ever to ditch it for good.
Instead of counting calories and obsessively tracking the numbers on your scale, try to focus on good things that you already have going for you. Every body is beautiful and unique in its own way, so try wearing clothes that celebrate your unique shape and personality instead of trying to look like everyone else.

]]>The post The Benefits of Getting Rid of Your Scale appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>Well, first of all, scale weight is a pretty bad way to determine anything about your health. Your weight is impacted by so many factors from your body composition to your menstrual cycle (if you have one) to your nutritional intake to how much water you drank that day to when your last bowel movement was. Because there are so many contributing factors, it’s impossible to make a direct correlation between weight and health, or to even trust the scale as a reliable measurement.
There are much better measures you can use to track your health, from your body fat percentage, to your energy levels, to your blood work, to how good you feel in your own body. So who needs the scale?
If your scale has the potential to make you feel guilty or bad about yourself, we say that you should get rid of it. There will always be better ways to track your fitness progress and your health, and you’ll finally be freed from the shackles of caring about the measurement of how much downward force your mass has. It’ll take a huge weight off your shoulders—pun intended.
