self esteem
How many times have you told yourself that you'll take a vacation, buy a new outfit, get your hair done, etc... - AFTER you lose some weight? Why do we withhold these pleasures from ourselves until we reach some ideal weight?
It's partly because the media bombards us with images of perfect people, making us think that we can reinvent ourselves to look just like them. And if we look like these perfect people, then it makes sense that our life will be perfect, right?
Wrong. Who we are inside is much more important than what we look like on the outside. Instead of focusing on our "problem areas", or weaknesses, why not put your attention and energy into areas where you shine and succeed? Robert Frost said: "Something we were withholding made us weak, until we found it was ourselves."
What are you doing to make you weaker, and how can you turn that around to feel more positive, energetic, and in control?
