As summer approaches, you’re probably thinking it’s time to “shed some weight” or “tone up!”.  The winter can wreck havoc on our bodies…I blame it ALL on the winter and cookies! 🙂 Whatever it is you’re looking to change about yourself theres a few things to keep in mind.  We forget that our bodies tell the stories of our lives. Scars and marks tell stories of past experiences.  If you have kids, that soft belly grew a human!  That is amazing…and I’ll take my stretch marks and soft tummy any day! Â
 Women especially can be easily conditioned and swayed by society and the media. The images they portray are often only very loosely linked to reality. Some pictures are so touched up and photoshopped that you would barely recognise the original image. No wonder we as women feel so under pressure all the time. Nowadays, men are having more and more of the same experiences.  What do you do?!
BE POSITIVE
The power of positive thinking and actions can greatly change and impact the way you feel about yourself!  Have you ever heard of daily affirmations? Daily affirmations are so useful. Your body is conditioned into thinking you’re feeling positive, even when you are not, and in effect change the way you feel! I’m of the mindset if you will the universe with positive energy, you’ll in turn receive positive outcomes!  Positivity is the key!
SMILE!
I’m always looking for ways to make my smile shine…coffee and tea are not helping!lol.  But what about if you have missing or broken teeth?  Facial surgery experts from harborviewofs.com say that a lack of self-confidence is one of the main side effects of having dental concerns that can change your appearance.  Dental implants may be exactly what you need to fix up your smile! Dentures can be troublesome; an implant gives you peace of mind against potential embarrassing accidents.
DRINK UP!
Drinking more water might not be a solution to all of your problems, but it’ll definitely help to get you on the right track!  Making sure you’re adequately hydrated will flush all the nasty toxins from your system. You’ll benefit from healthy, clear skin, and a rockin’ GI tract!  You’ll skin will look younger, your body will be hydrated!!  If you wait until you’re feeling thirsty to grab a bottle of water. Your body is already dehydrated. It takes a couple of hours for your body to absorb water properly, so make sure you’re sipping all day long. Being dehydrated is one of the main causes of fatigue, so making sure you have enough H2O will help you stay alert, too!
Overall love your body and your mind will follow! Â Enjoy the last few days of winter….it’s time to boost our confidence for the best summer yet!
