National Nude Day Is The Perfect Day To Celebrate Your Beautiful Body With These 14 Affirmations

In This Article:

It's been a few days since National Nude Day, but it's never too late to celebrate our beautiful bodies. Our human bodies are absolutely incredible. They are the vessels of our hearts and souls, never forget it.

Body positive affirmations can transform your mindset, and, I promise, you will see, feel, and experience the difference in your life. Your thoughts shape everything, how you react, how you feel, how you communicate. Repeating these bold, powerful statements, will help you actually believe in yourself and your body.

Keep in mind that sometimes it's hard to jump from negative self-talk right to positive ones. Feel free to think of neutral statements about your body and go from there. For instance, some neutral mantras include, "I am human," "I can tolerate my body," and "My body is strong and houses essential organs."

Start with body acceptance. I know, I know, it's easier said than done. But with time, you will witness a mindset shift and begin to love, respect, and admire your body. Maybe you'll join me and participate in National Nude Day one year!

1. My body deserves to be loved and taken care of 

2. I will treat my body with respect, as I do with my friends

3. My body is my home and I will build it up, not tear it down

4. I am human, and to be human means to be imperfectly perfect

5. I love the person staring back at me

6. I trust that my body knows what it needs

7. My worth is not defined by my weight, body size, or body type

8. Every body is beautiful

9. My body helps me move, walk, dance, and do my favorite things 

10. Me and my body have a purpose in this world 

11. I accept myself as I am right now 

12. No matter what society says, me and my body will always deserve respect 

13. My body is powerful and strong. It can do so much 

14. I am HOT with a capital "H"

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
