Ways to Practice Body Positivity

Loving your body, as obvious as it might be, is easier said than done. Changing the way that you think also requires a lot of daily effort, just like keeping your teeth clean requires you to brush them. There are countless ways that you can work on your body positivity, and if you want to find out more, all you have to do is take a look below.


Positive Affirmations

One of the best and the most effective ways for you to practice more body positivity would be for you to practice positive affirmations. You need to speak it out loud and you also need to say it often. Saying a kind thing to yourself in the mirror is always a good thing, but at the same time, you can also place a sticky note on the bedside table. Look for self-love and be as positive as you can. Remember that this kind of work might seem a bit silly but believe it or not, it is a good way for you to move yourself forward.

Make a Change

Another thing you can do is think healthier, not skinnier. Whether you are making meals or simply hitting the gym, you should not frame your fitness goals around what you might see on the scale. You should also take note that a healthy diet and exercise should not be a punishment. It is the way that you love your body. If you feel like your dental health isn’t as good as it could be, then it’s possible to make a change here too. Taking a positive step forward, like getting an appointment with an orthodontics specialist could be the best way for you to feel better.

Compliment Others

Often, you may find that you project your insecurities onto other people. You may judge them harshly because you judge yourself too harshly. Give someone a compliment that you may wish that you’d have had yourself, and be someone else’s silver lining if you can. Tell them that they look great or that you are more than happy to give them a hand if they need it. Things like this can make someone else’s day and you’d be surprised at what a difference it could make to them overall.

Surround Yourself with Positive Vibes

Another thing you need to do is try and surround yourself with positive vibes. Negative messages about your body image will be all around you and they can have a way of weaseling themselves into your thought process. If you want to avoid things like this then you need to try and avoid them and you also need to try and curate your social media feed so it suits you. Hide the fad diet posters and also take the time to look for positive people who can give you the love you need. 

If you can take steps like this today then you will see a notable improvement in your mental health,  and you may also find that you end up feeling way better in the day. You might also notice that you feel more at ease, which is a good thing.

Broadway’s Newest Sensation: Death Becomes Her

Get ready, Broadway fans! The most buzzed-about show of the season, Death Becomes Her, is lighting up the stage and redefining the musical comedy genre. Described as “savagely funny” by Time Out New York and “wildly entertaining” by Deadline, this dazzling production has become the talk of the town — and it’s easy to see why.

A Story That’s To Die For

Adapted from the cult classic 1992 film, Death Becomes Her follows the eternally glamorous Madeline Ashton (played to perfection by Megan Hilty), a starlet whose beauty and ego are as big as her fading career. Enter Helen Sharp (Jennifer Simard), a brilliant but overshadowed author whose patience finally snaps when Madeline steals her fiancé. The result? A hilarious, high-stakes battle of wits, egos, and a little… magic.

Their already explosive rivalry takes a supernatural twist when Viola Van Horn (portrayed by the irresistibly fabulous Michelle Williams) offers the two frenemies a mysterious potion promising eternal youth and beauty. But as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. Cue a riotous journey of revenge, vanity, and undead antics, all set to an unforgettable score.

The Cast: A Dream Team

Broadway powerhouses Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard are the heart and soul of this production, delivering star turns that are nothing short of comedic genius. Hilty’s portrayal of Madeline is a masterclass in diva humor, while Simard’s Helen is equal parts vulnerable and vengeful. The duo’s onstage chemistry is electric, sparking laugh-out-loud moments that leave audiences roaring.

Grammy winner Michelle Williams shines as the enigmatic Viola Van Horn, bringing elegance and sharp wit to her performance. And Christopher Sieber, as Ernest Menville, steals every scene he’s in with impeccable timing and charm.

Why You’ll Love It

Death Becomes Her isn’t just a musical — it’s an event. The witty dialogue, larger-than-life characters, and jaw-dropping set design create a theatrical experience unlike any other. Fans of the original movie will delight in the clever nods to its iconic moments, while newcomers will fall in love with its timeless humor and sharp satire.

With glowing reviews from The New York Times, The Daily Beast, and Variety, it’s no wonder this show has been dubbed “a laugh-filled, tuneful musical to die for.”

Plan Your Night Out

If you’re looking for an unforgettable night on Broadway, Death Becomes Her delivers. We have a block of tickets in the orchestra for January 21st at 7 pm for $140. EMAIL ME to save your spot.
