ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#bodyimage<\/a>–National Love Your Body Day \u2013 celebrated annually on the third Wednesday of October \u2013 promotes the concept of body positivity and that beauty should not be narrowly defined by unrealistic standards for how someone looks. As Vice President of Clinical Nutrition at Alsana<\/a>, an eating disorder recovery community, Julia Cassidy<\/a> has spent her entire career encouraging women and men to celebrate their own special bodies.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\u201cBody positivity focuses on the functionality and health of the human body, not on its physiological appearance,\u201d said Cassidy. \u201cPracticing body positivity involves accepting, respecting, caring for and protecting your body with the appreciation of all the things your body can do for you.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nBody image and self-esteem directly influence one another, which is another reason that practicing body positivity can improve your overall wellbeing.\n<\/p>\n

\nCassidy offers four tips for cultivating a positive body image:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \nAccept your genetics; remember that we are all unique. Avoid comparing yourself to others.\n<\/li>\n
  2. \nSet obtainable health-focused goals rather than weight related ones. This is more beneficial for your overall wellbeing.\n<\/li>\n
  3. \nSay positive things to yourself every day. Talk to yourself just as you would a friend or loved one.\n<\/li>\n
  4. \nFollow people on social media who represent body positivity or advocate for body acceptance. Unfollow people or companies on social media who trigger negative body image thoughts and feelings.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \nOn National Love Your Body Day this year, take time for some self-reflection and self-care to appreciate your body and all the things it does for you.
