A negative body image can affect your self-esteem and mental health, but it doesn't define your worth. Focusing on self-compassion can help you shift your perspective.

**Steps for building a healthier relationship with your body:**
- Focus on your strengths and what your body can do
- Limit exposure to unrealistic beauty standards on social media
- Surround yourself with supportive people
- Practise healthy habits like regular movement and balanced eating

**Try self-compassion meditation:**
1. Find a quiet, comfortable space
2. Bring to mind a part of your body you struggle with
3. Notice any emotions that come up
4. Remind yourself: “I’m not alone — many others feel this way”
5. Say: “I am worthy of kindness and care, just as I am”

Over time, patience and self-kindness can transform the way you see yourself.
