As for how one feels about the face, I think subs and mirror affirmations would be gold for that and I'm sure they could work for body image as well. Despite that I will say that this is a total non issue for me and has become more so through Alpha male, because I know what counts isn't necessarily body image and Im in pretty good shape, although insecurities about my height have popped up during stage 4 Alpha for a couple minutes here and there. I feel that when an awareness of body image is causing emotions that hold one back, it could be due to
1. Thinking that body image determines anything and therefore overvalues body image, becoming self conscious-and creating a loop cycle of self consciousness of the body equated with that self conscious image being a determinant factor in anything
2. If one objectively has a fairly out of shape or unattractive body that COULD be changed with exercise and better diet than its the self's way of genuinely wanting a better body, in this case nothing would boost confidence more in this area than...you guessed it working out, getting in great shape-getting a 'better body'
3. Narcissistic bodybuilder pride where there is always something wrong- the body is never good enough-I dont think anyone on this forum has that-well...maybe Andrew
JK lol

1. There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
2. A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions... Success and failure are for him answers above all.
3. I would not know what the spirit of a philosopher might wish more then to be than a good dancer.-F.N.
