Body-positive music to build self-esteem

Tiffany L. Neri

LOOKING in the mirror and not loving what we see might feel very lonely, but it’s more common than anyone thinks—even the most talented and beautiful female artists sing about going through it.

That lonely spiral of criticizing ourselves, how we look, and, as a result, our self-worth—it’s not okay, but it is part of the reality within and around us. Low self-esteem and a negative body image is not an easy feat to tackle, but it isn’t something we have to face alone.

It’s a long and arduous journey before we get there—if we ever even do—but this one is for the days where all we can do is kick off our shoes, crank up the volume, and dance to the songs about self-love, self-acceptance, and empowerment.

It may not completely take those insecurities away, but it does nudge us in the right direction.

So, beautiful, take your playlist pick:
