Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of tim e in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do abo ut their body image.

Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look well and feel g ood about yourself. Good physiques (体
形) don’t just happen. 29 A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothe s, and so on can help you build a positive body image.
30 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.
