Stress and Body Image
The Physical Perception
Stress can affect the perception of body image by increasing self-consciousness, influencing body dissatisfaction, and altering self-perception. In the U.S., individuals may experience stress-related changes in body image perception.
To promote positive body image, practice stress management techniques such as self-acceptance, body-positive affirmations, and healthy lifestyle choices. Addressing stress enhances body confidence and supports overall well-being.
