If you realize that a voice in your head keeps harping on your body flaws, try taking the following steps:

Be more positive. Think about how much your body does for you: it lets you feel and recognize the world around you, laugh, and dance. You can even write messages of positivity down on small notes.
Think about the people around you: How do they make you feel? Are they critical or positive about their bodies? It’s much easier to be positive about yourself when your friends and family are on the same page with you.
Don’t subscribe to accounts that post unrealistic photos of people. You should remember that these pictures are edited, and even though these people look perfect in their photos, they have their own problems in their lives.
Be active: Physical activity doesn’t just have a positive influence on your appearance, but also on your mental state and emotions.
If you notice that you compare your appearance to that of other people, remind yourself that we’re all attractive in our own ways.
Talk to someone, be it a doctor to help you with body image disorders, or a therapist you can discuss certain problems with.
