Embrace the birthday suit once and for all!

 

 

A little time in the nude is good for every woman — especially if you happen to be one of those people who goes from shower to towel to outfit without so much as a peek in the mirror. Avoiding your own nakedness deprives you of a sense of connection with your body.

I know many of you are thinking, “I don't need a connection with this less-than-perfect body, thank you!" But I stand firm. Being naked should not be reserved only for lights-out. Our bodies are a source of pride and pleasure, and it's only by facing them that we unlock this potential.

You don't have to stare at yourself for hours on end. Try going through your morning routine sans clothes — apply your makeup, do your hair, enjoy a glass of orange juice — all in the buff. Just get more comfortable with being naked. The benefits are worth it, since increased comfort with your body is a direct path to new heights of sexual satisfaction.

Still not comfortable in your birthday suit? Consider the following tips to up your confidence, clothes optional:

• Start from the moment you take a shower in the morning. Don’t save up your favorite body wash and fragrances for those special occasions. Instead, use these luxurious scents and textures to awaken your sensual side.
• Make sure to wear undergarments that speak to your inner vixen. Granny panties never make anyone feel confident! Whether you are a leopard-thong or a lacy-boy-short kind of woman, don’t be afraid to splurge a little on these sexy underthings. Your partner will definitely enjoy it, and you will get a much-needed boost of confidence and pleasure.
• The right posture can shave pounds off your frame. Hold your head back, pull in your core, and keep your shoulders back. If total nudity is a little too intimidating, start slow by walking around in a teddy or a silky little robe. Notice how your skin feels against these smooth fabrics, and how regular activities (like putting on lotion or lying in bed) feel more sensual when you do them half-naked.
• Accept the negative scripts in your head (“I hate my stomach," “I am so fat," etc.) rather than trying to fight them. Understand them for what they are (negative thoughts that are not true and are not a part of who you are). Don’t fight them, and you will be surprised at how much faster they dissipate. Then, try to replace them with positive thoughts like, “I like my soft skin" or “I have amazing legs."
• Treat yourself. One of the best ways to get in touch with your body is to be present in physical pleasures. Indulge in a massage, or better yet, try a sensual body treatment like a scrub or a body polish that will get you smelling, looking, and feeling your best. Or, buy yourself a new set of lingerie or get a mani-pedi with your girlfriends. Little indulgences such as these can up your confidence and get you back in touch with your inner vixen.

Whatever you choose to do, make it a ritual. You just might find yourself feeling like a whole new woman.

I LOVE this and am working on it. I am almost there

This is wonderful, thanking you for sharing. I am going to print this and hang it on my bedroom mirror, so I can read it while I am naked. lol
Love it

LMNAO (laughing my naked ass off!!)!

Thank you soooo much for sharing this. Although my neighbors are undoubtedly less than thrilled with my new-found nudeness, there is definitely something carthartic about strolling around in the buff, especially when you do pass a mirror and don't feel a sense of dread at the sight. I keep this up and I'll need an article about how to get dressed!! LOL!  I love the suggestions for how to become kinder and gentler with the thought processes about our bodies and how to be more connected with your body. I've also been told by a counselor that massage is great for really getting more in touch with the true size of your body, which anyone with body dysmorhpia can surely use.

Thanks again!!
