1. Know that you’re imperfectly perfect.
To feel sexy, you’ve got to embrace yourself -- as you are. Flaws included.
“Sexy is liking yourself, even though you’re not perfect,” says Beth Carson, 44. “It’s being kind to yourself and disrupting the fictitious supermodel standard. You’ve got to greet yourself in the mirror with a genuine smile and say ‘Hey, Beautiful!’”
This means knowing that you are truly unique. You’re a one-of-a-kind blueprint that’s like no other.
“I'm the only me out there,” Carson says. “And if I sit back and hide, the world is missing out on someone fun.”
Remind yourself daily that you are awesome -- just as you are. If you have to, write it down on a sticky note and put it on the mirror. This is a constant reminder of your commitment to feel sexy.
2. Love your body.
Feeling sexy means accepting your body exactly as it is. Sure, our bodies change. That said, you’ve got to move past self-limiting beliefs.
“I’m finding that I have to dig deep for motivation -- and it has to be about something other than being a certain size or looking a certain way. It has to be about health, spending time with my family and being around for a while,” Shimon says.
