The "Look Better Naked Guide" (Part 3)

Today, we continue with part 3 of our 4 part series of how to look (and feel) better naked. Today we’re going to primarily focus on the “feel” part of the equation.

The mere fact that you feel confident in your “nakedness” is huge. When you are more confident with your “naked” self, it will translate to whoever sees you. Confidence is a huge part of the “Look Better Naked” equation.

Without further delay, here is part 3 of the “Look Better Naked Guide”

Part 3
“The Naked Mindset”

1) Your Own Worst Critic

Understand that, unless you are a huge celebrity (Britney Spears, Brad Pitt, etc.), that you will always be more critical of yourself than anyone else. We all judge ourselves way more harshly than the outside world and that applies to how we view our body as well.

The best thing you can do is realize that everyone has inperfections and that, a great deal of the time, something that you percieve to be a flaw will not be percieved that way by someone else. Most of the time our “flaws” are only “flaws” to us and go completely unnoticed to others.

A great way to combat your insecurities is to think about someone who is “ok” with theirs. For example, I’m sure that there were plenty of times that Cindy Crawford had insecurities about her, now trademark, mole. The great thing about Cindy is that she embraced what everyone else percieved as a flaw. It’s a “mind-hack” that you have to do on yourself…but it’s effective.

2) Hit the Gym

It doesn’t matter if your exercise routine ever results in you losing a pound, the mere act of “working out” will do wonders for how you feel (and in turn how you feel about yourself). Having a workout routine and following through with it is empowering. When you accomplish something and build confidence, you do wonders for your overall state of mind.

Couple that new found confidence with the body sculping tips from Part 2 of the “Look Better Naked” Guide and you can be sure that your going to be feeling completely different about going naked very soon.

In Short, don’t ignore the mental effects of working out.

3) Nudity isn’t just a Bed/Bathroom Sport

You want to know one of the quickest ways to start feeling more comfortable in your own skin?

Get out of your comfort zone!!! Don’t reserve nudity for just the shower or bedroom. The next time that you’re alone at home, take advantage and spend a few hours doing everything naked (except cooking hot foods that spatter…might not be a good idea).

The key to feeling good naked is to practice! I’m not saying that you need to do anything to get yourself in trouble. I’m saying that practice will make you more confident.

A great example of this that most people can relate to is public speaking. I had no trouble talking in front of friends, but for a long time public speaking scared the crap out of me. Why? Because I hadn’t exposed myself to different situations that gave me practice in “public speaking”. I started talking in small groups more and eventually worked up to big groups. It isn’t hard when you know the “small steps” to get there. Its the “giant leaps” that are tough.

If your insecure about being naked with someone else, maybe you need to go outside of your comfort zone when your alone. Give it a shot… But make sure to close the shades

If you only take one thing away from part 3 of the “Look Better Naked” Guide, I want you to understand this:

“Half the battle to “looking great” is in your head.”

What you do to gain that “confidence” is where the work starts. I would love to hear what you think!
