The 3 Most Effective Strategies for Improving Sexual Performance

Earlier this year, I met a client who felt completely disconnected from her body and had negative sexual self-perceptions. For years, she avoided looking in the mirror and avoiding intimacy with her partner because she believed she was unwanted. When she finally sought help, she didn’t expect the journey to begin with her mindset. But that’s what we’re working on together—to change the way she thinks about herself. This is where the real magic happens.

The way we perceive ourselves sexually plays a huge role in our overall confidence and intimacy. If you’ve ever felt insecure or unsure in the bedroom, these 3 effective strategies can help you make a powerful shift.

1. Reframe negative self-talk Improve sexual self-awareness

We are often our harshest critics, especially when it comes to our bodies. Thoughts like “I’m not sexy” can hinder your confidence. Start catching those negative thoughts and replace them with affirmations like “I should feel sexy.” It’s a small change, but it can rewire your thinking and improve the way you think about yourself.

2. Focus on sexiness, not appearance

Sexual confidence isn’t about having a “perfect” body, it’s about how you feel. Tune in to things that bring you joy: a bath, soft fabrics, or dancing. By focusing on your senses, you’ll find that feeling good in your body is more powerful than looking a certain way.

3. Move your body

Movement—whether it’s yoga, dance, or stretching—can help you reconnect with your body. It can enhance self-esteem and body image, giving you a newfound confidence. Find an exercise you enjoy and let it remind you of the power and beauty of your body.

By reframing negative thoughts, embracing sensuality, and moving your body, you can change the way you think about your sexuality. These simple shifts can help you feel more confident and connected to your body.
