Every Body is A Swimsuit Body

If you are planning to head out to the beach this winter or perhaps take on the challenge of wild swimming and you are looking to feel confident and wonderful in your swimsuit then you are in the right place. If you have put aside time to dedicate to your wellbeing then you want to feel love for yourself and not a tidal wave of self-criticism. 

When you try on your swimsuit you want to be able to feel like you can jump for joy because you look fantastic. This does not mean you have to lose weight. It does not mean you need to go and book yourself in for liposuction or Cellulite treatments. What it does mean is that you need to look at ways that you can make yourself feel good in your swimsuit, whether that means you simply top up your laser hair removal appointment and you get your eyebrows done so that you feel confident. With this in mind, let's have a look at how you can feel confident in your swimsuit for your winter break.

  • Stop judging yourself so harshly. Every single body is a body that looks good in a swimsuit. Why? Because your body doesn't need to shed 50 pounds just to wear swimwear and go in some water. When you head out to the beach or when you head out to a pool, if you know you are not judging other people’s bodies, what makes you think people will be judging yours? Stop judging yourself so harshly and you will be halfway there.

  • Be present while you are away. If you want to stop feeling so insecure, then you need to be present in the moment. When you whip off that towel and you jump into the pool, feel the water on your skin and feel the delight in your own voice as you laugh when you come back to the surface. The fresh air, the cool water, your children watching you confidently jump in the swimming pool, all of these things are a sight to be seen.

  • Be grateful. You are standing on a beach in the middle of November. Everybody you know is sloughing away at the office and dealing with rain, wind, and snow. You? You have been able to afford to take yourself on a break that allows you to enjoy some winter sunshine in another part of the world and let the sun kiss your skin. Feel grateful for that and stop focusing on the bikini you're wearing.

  • Go shopping for a new swimsuit. One of the best ways to feel fantastic in swimwear is to buy new. Buying a whole new array of swim outfits and captains and sarongs are brilliant to help you feel great about what you are wearing. Make sure you choose a range of colors and styles as well so that you can feel good no matter which one you choose.
