Got a bikini? Got a body? Congrats! You’ve just earned yourself a “bikini body.” <\/p>\n

Much is said about the love-hate relationship with swimsuit season, but Mindy Kaling<\/a><\/strong> is here to remind us that it’s A-OK to love the skin you’re in. The Office<\/em> alum took to Instagram on Friday with a message (and some serious swimsuit inspo) we could all probably benefit from this summer. <\/p>\n

“IDK who needs to hear this but,” Kaling wrote on Instagram<\/a>, “WEAR A BIKINI IF YOU WANT TO WEAR A BIKINI. You don’t have to be a size 0.” <\/p>\n

The 40-year-old modeled a pair of especially chic bikinis by Tory Burch and Flagpole, while revealing that vacationing in Hawaii inspired her to embrace her curves.<\/p>\n

“What I was struck about Hawaii is that everyone wears bikinis,” she shared. “It does not matter what your body type is. You rock a bikini because you’re in Hawaii. There’s so much body positivity there, that I, who is  always really shy about my body, would wear bikinis.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Mindy also encouraged her 4 million Instagram followers to send their own swimsuit photos her way. <\/p>\n

The A-lister has long promoted positive body image, writing in her 2015 book Why Not Me? <\/em>about the importance of staying true to her beliefs.<\/p>\n

“Far too many women are much more hurt by being called fat or ugly than they are by being called not smart, or not a leader,” Kaling said. “If someone told me that I was stupid or that I wasn’t a leader, or that I wasn’t witty or quick or perceptive, I’d be devastated. If someone told me that I had a gross body, I’d say, ‘Well, it’s bringing me a lot of happiness.’ Like, I’m having a fine time of it. Having my priorities aligned like that has helped me have a happier life, I think.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
