I’m going to be honest with you….the title of this blog post is a little misleading.

We will, for sure, talk about body confidence…but we can’t start our relationship off with a lie. Truth is, there aren’t 5 steps to body confidence. There’s not one or seven or one hundred, either.

You are completely unique, as am I. We are two very different beings who require very different things. I can’t tell you that your body confidence will magically blossom if you do these five steps. I can’t tell you this post is the end all be all to body awareness and acceptance…but what I can tell you is that you are not alone and you deserve to feel beautiful.

I can show you where to begin your journey and encourage you to make your own steps.

Body confidence can’t be summed up in any number of steps because the idea itself means something different to everyone. We don’t have the same definition of body confidence. Ask your friends, a family member, a stranger–every single person will have a perspective that differs from your own. From what body confidence looks like, what it feel like to how it speaks, moves, thrives, everyone sees body confidence through a different lens.

Cool, Robin. Okay, I get it–we all are different, but how does this help me get the body confidence that I deeply crave? For starters, this means there is no perfect body type out there. No perfect attitude, no perfect size, shape, or color. We are uniquely flawed, perfectly imperfect. Kind of takes the pressure off, doesn’t it? Kinda magical if you ask me. This idea of body confidence that we are picturing is just as beautifully flawed as the body that we are currently in.

So now, let’s talk about step 1. The only step I’m giving and the only step you need to start making it your own.

Define what body confidence means to you….and you alone.

Is body confidence a feeling?

An aesthetic?

Is it walking into a room like a sun beam–positive and glowing with pure joy?

Is it climbing a literal mountain on your own?

Is it going on a date for the first time in years without telling yourself that it won’t work out before it even begins?

If you are asking yourself these questions, you will start to realize the key to body confidence is defining your values. What’s important to you now? What are your non-negotiables when it comes to your future? Be honest with yourself. Are you happy right now? Is your life stable or are you overextending yourself? What does stability look like for you?

Define your values, be your values….and before you know it, your body confidence with flourish naturally.

“I value…”

“My top priority in life is…”

“I want to feel…”
