Overcoming feelings of self-consciousness while exercising in public requires self-compassion, confidence, and a shift in mindset. Focus on the purpose of your workout and the positive benefits it brings to your physical and mental well-being, rather than worrying about others' perceptions. Remind yourself that everyone is focused on their own workouts and likely not paying attention to you. Wear comfortable, flattering workout attire that makes you feel confident and empowered. Bring headphones and listen to music or podcasts to create a personal bubble and distract from external distractions. Lastly, practice positive self-talk and affirmations to boost self-esteem and cultivate a sense of inner strength and resilience.
