Fake it ‘til you make it

I’m still thinking about body confidence this week because so many women have concerns as we get closer to 30. Whether you’re worried about a baby belly, early crows feet and laugh lines or just having to fight harder to maintain a toned physique; it doesn’t matter – our bodies worry us.

Getting back to your bathing suit worries. Just QUIT worrying. I promise that very few people are really looking at you or judging you when you’re sitting on the beach. They’re too busy worrying about their own flaws.

If you cannot get beyond your worry that your body isn’t perfect then try fakin’ it. The summer will be over long before you work your way through all possible body issues. So instead, try one of my favorite activities – FAKE IT!

Don’t go off on a tangent about what women fake in life. I don’t advocate faking your intimate moments. BUT I do advocate faking body confidence for as long as it takes to make it true.

Tell yourself you look hot or tell yourself that you are confident in your body. And keep having this conversation with yourself whenever you can until you believe what you’re saying.
