\u201cThe simplest way to integrate body positivity is to speak about your body in the same way you would speak to other people, with compassion versus harshness and criticism,\u201d suggests Dr. Lauren Muhlheim, Psy.D., FAED, CEDS-S. \u201cStopping and catching the thoughts and replacing them with gentler and kinder thoughts is important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using body-positive mantras or affirmations is a simple way to shift toward a more positive outlook.<\/p>\n

When working with clients recovering from eating disorders or negative self-talk, Dr. Mulheim sometimes suggests that they jot down a body-positive mantra on a sticky note on their bathroom mirror.<\/p>\n

She also suggests keeping a body gratitude journal for added motivation.<\/p>\n
