How To Be More Comfortable In Your Body

Many of us feel uncomfortable in our own bodies, and yet also know that confidence (without arrogance) is a very attractive feature to many people. So how do you reduce that feeling of self-consciousness so you can enjoy your date more and feel better about yourself?

Firstly, be aware that you are almost certainly your harshest critic. For me, as an example, my hair in thinning and I can be quite paranoid about it. Strangeley though it’s only my male friends who tease me about it - and having asked a large number of girls (both dates and friends) about it, as far as they are concerned it’s pretty much a non-issue. Understanding this can make you feel far more confident in your body.

But lets say this isn’t enough for you. What else can you do?

Well there are two main solutions - hide your concerns or eliminate them. Let’s take a closer look at both of these options…

The first option, as I have mentioned, is to hide whatever you are concerned about. Worried you’re overweight? Then dress well to help you look less tubby. Consider, as I sometimes do, buying a brand new outfit to out in. One that fits you well and makes you feel good. This simple trick is one I use not just for dates, but also for exams, job interviews and anywhere else I feel under pressure and fancy a little more confidence.

The other solution, as discussed, is to eliminate that concern. For example, go on a diet or get under a tanning bed or change your hairstyle. Take time to consider which elements about your appearance you feel most concerned about and strategize ways in which you can either hide them from view or eliminate them altogether to feel more confident and empowered when meeting members of the opposite sex.
