Nudity is often regarded as an uncomfortable or embarrassing event usually because of the stigma surrounding nudity and the cultural influences that frame the perception of nudity. Yet for many, nudity actually is quite freeing.
Evidence of this is visible through nudist colonies and nude beaches, but to get to this stage the free minded nudist stage you first have to get comfortable in your own skin.
Below are 10 ways to get comfortable with your body
1. Create A Self-Love Routine
Establish a routine that helps you feel good about yourself. This can be anything doing your hair, nails, or wearing something that compliments your body.
These tasks do not have to be body related. They simply need to be tasks that help you feel better about yourself. Any task that makes you appreciate yourself is beneficial. Any grooming tasks will be helpful.
Wearing clothes that make you feel good helps to boost your confidence. If you don’t feel good in your clothes, then it will be difficult to feel good without them.
2. Eat Healthy Foods
Nothing can make you appreciate your body and dote on yourself like eating well. Eating well makes you remember to feed your body good fuel so that it functions properly and looks good.
It is difficult to appreciate your body if you’re thinking about the extra donuts you ate, or if you’re counting all of the wasted calories that you’ve taken in. It will make you feel insecure or guilty, which is counter to the confidence you’ll need to have fun naked.
3. Compliment Yourself
Instead of putting yourself down constantly, compliment yourself. The confidence to have fun naked begins with not judging your body or putting yourself down.
With the process of complimenting yourself comes the responsibility of not doing certain things such as criticizing yourself. Don’t stand in front of the mirror and point out everything you don’t like.
Point out a few things about yourself that you like. Write them down if necessary. Use these qualities to counter the negative judgements that you might make about yourself and your body.
For instance, if you think something negative about yourself, counter it with one of the positive comments that you’ve already identified. So, counter I hate my arms with I have great legs.
4. Pamper Your Body
Get a massage or facial. The act of pampering yourself pays homage to your body. It helps you appreciate your body and love it, which makes it easier to incorporate several of the previous steps such as moving the body and eating healthily.
5. Get Naked At Home
If you’re comfortable being naked at home, then it’s much easier to be naked around others and have fun doing it. Getting comfortable with your own nudity at home is essential to being comfortable nude out in the world.
Stand in front of the mirror naked not to criticize but to appreciate. This also lets you get comfortable seeing yourself naked. If you’re uncomfortable looking at yourself naked, then you will be uncomfortable when others are looking at you naked.
Do an activity around the house naked. Water the plants. Dance. Read a book. Style your hair shirtless. It doesn’t matter what the activity is as long you get comfortable doing it naked.
If you are not comfortable going fully naked just yet, wear lingerie and build up. Lots of different types are available, so your bound to find one that will make you feel confident and sexy.
Begin to incorporate nudity into other daily activities even if you’re out of the house. For instance, try not wearing underwear, or go braless.
6. Start Doing Things Naked That You Would Normally Do With Clothes On
Daily tasks such as making phone calls naked won’t seem so weird after a while. Plus, you’ll get a thrill out of your little secret.
Make a sandwich naked. Food and nudity don’t usually go together, but now you can combine the two. Be careful about cooking naked though. Wear an apron to protect yourself.
Watch TV naked, choose your favorite chair or your favorite spot on the sofa. Take your clothes off. Turn on the television if it’s not already on and have a seat naked.
Walk around the house naked, close the blinds or curtains as to make sure you are not visible from outside. Most jurisdictions have laws for indecent exposure crimes.
Sleep naked, If you usually, sleep with your clothes on, try something new. Take them off. It might feel weird at first, but stick with it. Soon you might like the lack of separation between your skin and the sheets.
7. Go Skinny Dipping With A Friend Or Supportive Partner
The water will partially obscure your naked body, which allows you to slowly get used to being naked and having fun while you do it.
To be more comfortable if you’re still not sure enough about showing off your skin, wear a really small bikini, one that is also clear or nude colored.
8. Run Naked
Some cities offer naked running groups similar to Denmark’s Roskilde Festival, where approximately 30 runners run around the festival grounds naked.
9. Go To A Nude Beach
Since everyone should be nude, you’ll probably feel more comfortable in your birthday suit as well. Nude beaches give you an opportunity to walk around in front of strangers nude, swim nude and play beach volleyball or frisbee nude. Where else can you do that?
10. Join A Nudist Group Or Colony
If you really like being naked, you’ll probably want to do more of it more often. In this group, you’ll find a group of supportive people who share in your joy of having fun naked.
