Body image is a person's opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 【1】 You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.

Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 3

Respect your body! Practicing good habits—regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on—can help you build a positive body image.

5 Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.

A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you're good at.

B. Be yourself.

C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.

D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.

E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.
