<p>Many people struggle with body image issues caused by social and market pressures emphasizing unrealistic ideal body standards. These pressures contribute to individual and societal problems such as eating disorders, depression, and self-harm. While mindfulness has been applied as an intervention in various consumption domains like personal finance, eating, and addiction, it remains underexplored in the context of body image. Moreover, the potential for mindfulness practiced in natural settings (without formal intervention) to help individuals develop a healthy body perception has not been studied. This research examines consumers who have experienced pressures related to ideal body standards and/or body shame, focusing on their encounters with mindfulness concepts or practices in daily life. Semi-structured interviews with twenty Thai and ten international participants from diverse social backgrounds reveal the practice of mindfulness as a natural intervention to address body image concerns. The findings also identify the body itself as a novel tool for cultivating mindfulness. Furthermore, this study offers a fresh perspective on body image theory by demonstrating a shift from conventional, socially influenced self-views to mindful self-views that develop independently of societal pressures. It advances understanding of mindfulness as a way to transform consumer behavior and enhance well-being. Importantly, it highlights how mindfulness can help manage negative body perceptions without structured programs, making it a practical and accessible coping tool for body-related criticisms. These insights open new avenues for future research on mindfulness and body image.</p>
