250 Summer bikini body dread: how to be more confident on the beach this summer

from Busy Woman's Guide to Wellbeing

You love the sun and the warmth - but with it comes that summer “bikini body dread”. What will I look like in a bikini? Can I wear sleeveless tops? Why do I still feel like this even though I swore I'd sort it out last year?In this episode, I'm breaking down why body image anxiety happens at this time of year, what's really driving that panic, and how to be more confident this summer without having to drop a single lb (hint: you don’t have to suddenly “love your body”)I'll also share the "pool praise party" exercise that helps you stop judging other bodies (and your own), and why body acceptance NOW- not after you've lost the weight- is the only way forward.Here’s what we’ll cover:Bikini body dread isn't about your body—it's about your relationship with it. What you think your body says about your worth, discipline, and value and how that’s driving your anxiety.Why you can't hate yourself into confidence. Panic dieting before a holiday won't make you feel good in a bikini if you haven't made peace with your body first.Try the "pool praise party" exercise: When you catch yourself scanning and judging other bodies, pay each person a silent compliment instead. You can't judge other bodies without reinforcing the system that judges yours - this is how you stop playing the game.NEXT:1.
