According to one report more than 50% of American women are unhappy with their bodies and also an alarming amount of women globally. This is really heartbreaking because one’s perception of one’s beauty has a direct affect on their relationship with other women; family members, spouse or “love interest” and can lead to one creating a hostile work environment and overall manifesting unhealthy emotional surroundings.
It is true that most women have insecurities and gage their beauty on the narrowly defined beauty from the outpouring of major media outlets. However, one does not have to live with insecurities or narrowly defined beauty based on the opinions of a few. You were crafted with the stroke of a heavenly brush laced with radiance. Every dimple, freckle, mole on your body makes you unique.
What’s really sad is that women that are not satisfied with their physical appearance will ridicule other women. This often leads to a breach or strain on the friendship because no- one likes to be verbally attacked. Those women that are in love with themselves and has grown to accept and appreciate their uniqueness will only speak beautiful words of power, inspiration, and love towards their fellow woman. If you ever want to witness an insecure woman listen to the words she say about another woman.
As the CEO of Speaking Above Mediocrity and a Christian Empowerment Coach I provide solutions to eradicate any resemblances of mediocrity™. Living in a state of low self-esteem, poor body image, and verbal assassination against other women is a mediocre mindset. I would like to provide you with tools to begin to love the skin you are in:
1. Define beauty as an array of sizes, hues, shades, and heights. It doesn’t matter if you have baby blue eyes or hazelnut brown eyes. Beauty can be realized in a woman that is a size 2 or size 16.
2. Stop talking negatively about you! Every time you feel the urge to criticize something about your physical appearance stop and replace those words with something positive. Appreciate your uniqueness! Do not desire to be a carbon copy of someone else.
3. Believe that you are beautiful! People are attracted to and naturally drawn to those believing they are beautiful. Believing you are beautiful is a state of mind. You, believing that you are beautiful will radiate confidence.
4.Stand in front of a full length mirror! Fall in love with the image that you see. Start with the strands of your hair and work your way down to the polish on your toes and compliment every inch of your body. God made you unique! You are beautiful.
5. Make your body feel loved. Pamper your body with lavender oil bubble baths. Exercise and stay physically fit. Eat foods to energize and maintain your health.
When you are in love with the skin that you are in, you will not criticize your fellow woman. Get rid of the insecurities and live beautifully!!!
