How to Approach Swimsuit Season WITHOUT FEAR!
It’s that time of year again. The weather is starting to warm up. The days are longer. The sun is shining. All of the sudden you start to feel your heart race. Your hands feel clammy. A slight glisten forms on your forehead. Your breath shortens. The panic! The fear!
OH NO! IT’S SWIMSUIT SEASON!!!!
Not this year, Honey! We are here to make sure you feel confident, SASSY and ready to show up at the pool, the beach, the water park and anywhere a bathing suit is required with confidence, assurance and a hero-mentality!
SPRING & SUMMER ARE NOT AN EXCUSE TO COVER UP AND FEEL SHAME
You are powerful! You are beautiful! You are SASSY! And there is no reason for you to have any fear associated with putting on a swimsuit. The first thing you have to do is FACE YOUR FEAR. So how do you do that? Start by asking yourself this one simple questions:
“What is the WORST CASE SCENARIO?”
What is the worst thing that will happen when you show up to the pool in your bathing suit??? Go ahead! List them out. Write them down. Are they really that bad? Is anyone going to get hurt? Is anyone going to suffer? Most likely, the answer is NO. So take a deep breath. Look at yourself in the mirror and say:
“I am a beautiful, SASSY, confident woman and I deserve to be happy when I’m at the pool in my bathing suit!”
DECIDE WHAT KIND OF SUIT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL MOST CONFIDENT
This is hugely important! If you are feeling nervous or apprehensive about what you are wearing because the style doesn’t fit your personality or you feel it is outdated or you feel like you will stand out in a way you don’t want to…then GIRLFRIEND…BUY A NEW SWIMSUIT! If you want to wear a two-piece because it makes you feel good and it’s easier to maneuver in…DO IT! Who cares if you have stretch marks from three pregnancies and some bits that you aren’t in love with? We all have them! We all are imperfect humans! No one looks like the air-brushed models in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition because that IS NOT REALITY!!!
Take this time in early spring when you are not under pressure to show up this weekend at the pool party of the century, and do some research about what kind of bathing suit you like best. Go online! Take yourself shopping! Try on some suits in different styles and different colors. Pick one or two that make you feel happy and buy them! You will wear them all summer and you will be grateful that you feel good each time you put them on.
STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS
We guarantee you that 100% of women out there have concerns about at least one part of their bodies. Just because you feel like your booty doesn’t look like your friends’ or your breasts aren’t has high up as they were when you were 20 doesn’t mean anything other than you are your own person and you are the age you are today! Don’t give two seconds thought to what suit your friend is wearing or, wait for it, “the stranger on the Internet”!!! NO SISTER! You do you! Pull out that SASSY new suit you have, put it on and rock it all the way to the pool or beach. Your SASSY & SEXY comes from your confidence and mindset. Don’t get caught up in the comparison game and making yourself a victim!
Warm months mean lots of fun with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Enjoy this time and feel confident that your community loves you for you. They don’t judge you or have concern for what you look like in your bathing suit. They want to spend time with you and enjoy the moments! So ENJOY THE MOMENTS, be a hero and live your best life ROCKIN’ your swimsuit!
