As a Sioux Falls boudoir photographer, I have seen firsthand just how much goes into appreciating your body, loving yourself, and being confident in all that you are. It’s not always easy, but you are WORTHY of it all. You deserve to be happy in your body; you deserve to celebrate yourself; and you deserve to feel confident and empowered. I’ve gathered a few ways you can practice body positivity to remind yourself that you are WORTHY, beautiful, and so much more!

Know That You ARE Enough

Regardless of what anyone or anything says, you are enough. Exactly the way you are! If you’re reading this in full glam, ready to take on the day, you are enough. If you are reading this in pajamas, with no makeup, and with unwashed hair, you are enough. Are you deep in the trenches of motherhood or barely surviving your long work hours? You are ALWAYS enough! Remind yourself every single day that no matter how you show up, it is enough!

Write Out And See Your Positive Affirmations

This one is something quick and easy you can do that will absolutely change your life! Write out and see your positive affirmations. Place them on the mirror you see every morning, the cabinet you open to grab your morning drink, the door you walk out of, or the lunchbox you open every day! It will change your whole life! And, just in case you need a few to get you started:

I am kind and I am smart

I deserve to be loved

I’m confident and I know I am enough

Stop Comparing

Just don’t do it! It’s hard, I know, but just don’t fall into the comparison trap. If that means deleting your social media apps, unfollowing anyone you find yourself comparing to, or setting healthy boundaries around others, do it. You are everything you need to be, exactly as you are. 

Practice Body Positivity Everyday

Practice body positivity every. single. day. Know you are enough; repeat your positive affirmations; stop comparing; and love yourself. Do something for yourself every single day! Write yourself a note, make yourself a fun coffee, take a walk, work out, enjoy your hobby, read a book, whatever. Practice makes perfect!

Book Your Boudoir Session

Last, but certainly not least, book your boudoir session! I cannot think of a better way to practice body positivity than a boudoir session. Not only will you leave with stunning photos of yourself, but you’ll leave feeling HOT, empowered, confident, capable, and so much more! You deserve this, girl!
