Decorate Your Body #1 *Body Acceptance*

This a Type-1-swap. The topic is (again) BODY ACCEPTANCE.

Appreciate all that your body can do. Every day your body carries you closer to your dreams. Celebrate all of the amazing things your body does for you—running, dancing, breathing, laughing, dreaming, etc.

What you have to do - and please: feel freeeeee.

• Decorate your fully naked body! You can use lipstick, paint, stickers and and and... Decorate your breast/chest/boobies or/and your intimate area or/and the belly... You can also paint/draw/write a personal greeting for your swap partner on your body. Do what YOU like!

• Take a full body photo naked of your decorated body, take photos and send at least 3 photos to your two swap partners by e-mail. You must swap emails after assigning partners.

• The partner must answer the email and comments the photos in a POSITIVE way. You can also give your partner new decoration ideas for the following swap(s).

• After the swap every member must DELETE the photos. Remember that it is criminal and not allowed to share those photos (the copyright is by the sender). But our group members are very reliable I count on you all!!!

• Be nice. Be respectful. Be kind!

Your age, sexual orientation, your lookingor body shape does NOT play any role!!! Sure not! Noone would laugh about you. That's for sure.

Please do not see this as a "sexual" swap. It isn't sexual at all. It helps and supports you to like your body. And showing the decorated body to someone cheers you up and gives you more self-confidence.

You feel too shy? Yes - almost everybody feels shy first. But you must TAKE A HURDLE to work on your self esteem and to work on your body acceptance and body image. Shyness and "fears" are normal, natural and very human parts of the process. Do not forget that. And yes - it is also normal that you do not like the photos you have taken. Normal! Look at the photos in 2 months again and you will feel comfortable seeing you.

I want to encourage and invite you taking this hurdle.

Those decorations and bodypaintings are a approved method when it comes to body acceptance workshops.

Taking photos of the full naked body is part of the method. Be once with your body.
