Ask AI: What can we teach youth about body positivity

1. Celebrate the things that make you unique. Everyone is different and those differences should be embraced rather than judged. 2. Practice self-care and self-love. Spend time doing activities that make you feel good and remind yourself of your worth. 3. Focus on health over appearance. Nourish your body with healthy foods and physical activity, instead of striving for an unrealistic goal. 4. Challenge negative thoughts and beliefs. Whenever you find yourself feeling negative about your body, challenge those thoughts and focus on the positive. 5. Surround yourself with positive people. Spend time with people who support and encourage you and your positive body image. 6. Dress for yourself. Dress in clothing that helps you feel confident and comfortable, not to meet someone else’s expectations.
