More than 20 years ago, researchers Michael Levine, PhD, and Linda Smolak, PhD, developed a list of "10 'Will-Powers' for Improving Body Image." Their list continues to be relevant today.
Here is "will-power" number seven:
I WILL list five to 10 good qualities that I have, such as understanding, intelligence or creativity.
I WILL repeat them to myself whenever I start to feel bad about my body.
What words would make your "will-power" list? Please share below!
