Mental Moment-This Is for All the Ladies

I am always so saddened by how women see themselves. How you see yourself effects everything in your life: the job you get, the partner you are, the friend you are, the mother you become and the things you do/don’t do with your life. The way you see yourself effects your confidence, motivation and self-esteem in all areas of life. The way you see yourself can impact the way others see you.

This dove ad: Dove Real Beauty Sketches really hit home the fact that women do not have a realistic view of who they are. My practice is made up of 80% women and part of my job with each and every one of them is to open the door to their inner and outer beauty.

I’ve been talking a lot lately about acceptance. Ladies my wish for you is that you develop the ability to accept yourself for who you really are. You are no better or worse than anyone else. You will never be perfect (no one will) but you are great just the way you are. You were born with the face and body you have. Others enjoy, appreciate and love it and so can you.

At the end of the day what’s all the nonacceptance and negativity about? Learn to love and accept yourself! You are the only YOU you have!

Happy Thursday!
