Thick Madame"Knowing Who You Are By Knowing Who You're Not"
It seems like whenever you turn on the TV, no matter which channel you click to, someone is pitching a weight loss product, pill, or meal plan. A new "anti-aging" cream is developed every day it seems. Society and the media set impossibly high standards for women. Learn a few simple tricks to help you love and accept your naturally-beautiful self. Feel Good on the Inside, Look Good on the Outside
Have you ever heard of a woman having a natural glow about her? That smiles are contagious? Can you ever tell someone is happy by just looking at them? Taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally reflects how you appear on the outside and are healthy steps to looking good no matter what. Those who feel tired look tired. The physical appearance is a giveaway of how a person feels on the inside. Happiness and beauty come from within and radiate outwards. As the saying goes, true beauty is on the inside!
Memory Lane
Remember the days when you wore those ripped skinny jeans, three or four sizes ago with a much younger body? Of course you do! We are reminded daily by the media that we don't look like we used to. It's nice to remember way back when but even healthier to remember that the adventure of life takes many twists and turns. Sure, 15 years ago you looked different, but if you learn to truly appreciate the past for what it was, you can learn to appreciate what that past has given you and what the present has to offer.
Confidence is Everything
Many say if a woman is confident, then she is beautiful. This is true. The box starving young woman on TV that you are comparing yourself to is not happy with herself. This is not true beauty. She is not confident with herself and that is why she feels like she has to compensate for what she thinks she lacks. It is hard enough to be a woman today. Though that woman is struggling, you don't need to. Wish her good luck and good health and continue living confidently as you are.
Love is All You Need
Self-love is a very important component to living a happy life in this world. When you are confident, happy with yourself, and you love yourself you can effectively ignore extreme media standards. Theoretically, if every woman had healthy self-esteem and self-love, we could possibly see a decrease in the media's wide-scale effort to create manufactured people. Don't let lapses in self-love get you to give in to someone telling you that you don't look right. There is no right way to look. Beauty is determined by you and how you feel.
Looks Aren't Everything
Both inside and out, you are a beautiful and intelligent woman. You must truly understand, believe, and accept this. The constant comparison to look or be like other women is unhealthy. Remember that surgeries, meal plans, and other quick fixes will not fix the problem or boost your self-esteem long-term.
Be yourself and love who you are. Stay confident, remember the past, appreciate the present, and look forward to the future. Stand firm and appreciate your age and the journey the years have taken you on. Love yourself and what is naturally and uniquely yours and you will be able to bypass those pesky commercials and misleading, discouraging standards
