150 Affirmations To Love Your Body

Learning how to love your body isn’t always easy when you are bombarded with unrealistic expectations and beauty standards.

It’s normal to feel pressure to look a certain way while growing up, but this pressure often traps us in a cycle of negative self-talk and doubt.

The good news is, you are already worthy of love, respect, and gratitude, just as you are. One powerful way to build body confidence and self-love is to use affirmations, or positive statements that help you change the way you talk to yourself.

Negative thoughts that are judgmental or critical of your body can be replaced with affirmations that focus on self-acceptance, appreciation, and love.

The more you practice repeating affirmations daily, the more you’ll transform your mindset and your relationship with your body.

Below are 150 affirmations to love your body. Use these as daily reminders, journal prompts, or mantras to repeat during meditation.

Why Body Affirmations Work

Affirmations may sound simple, but they work. The concept is to retrain your subconscious mind by replacing negative or critical thoughts with more positive and loving messages.

So instead of thinking things like “I hate how I look,” “I wish I were thinner,” or “I hate my stomach,” you say phrases like “I am grateful for what my body allows me to do,” “I love my body unconditionally,” or “I am comfortable in my own skin.”

Eventually, these new messages will build body confidence and encourage you to be kinder to yourself. The more you speak to yourself this way, the more comfortable you’ll feel in your own skin, the less anxiety you’ll experience, and the more self-love you’ll attract.

How to Use Affirmations

Say them daily. Repeat your affirmations every day, morning or night. Say them out loud or silently to yourself.

Write them down. Journaling affirmations helps reinforce their message.

Place reminders. Write affirmations on sticky notes and place them around your home, use them as phone wallpapers, or put them on mirrors.

Believe in them. Even if the affirmations feel silly at first, stick with them. Repetition creates change.
