Society puts a huge amount of pressure on women which has the ability to affect both their mental health and confidence levels. It’s easier to doubt yourself than it is to have faith in your abilities.
When you feel good about yourself, you can do anything. But in the world of constant comparison and distraction, it can sometimes seem difficult to feel like you’re enough. The key is to start doing more of what you love!
For a long time, I struggled with loving myself. I would conceal my anxiety and self-imposed introvert tendencies with a fake smile and pleasant demeanor. There were things that I loved about myself but they always came with conditions… and what I was experiencing was nowhere near self-love.
At some point or another, life is going to seem unfair and unkind. You’ll experience marvelous highs and epic lows, but sometimes the most devastating moments are those that force us into a state of grief. Moments of profound loss have the ability to shake us to our core and leave us lost and confused about life.
Most women, particularly those that juggle many responsibilities, find it difficult to give themselves permission to participate in self-care. Those are the women that need it the most. But the truth is… often, when you balance a hectic life, the first thing to get ignored is YOU.
Your relationship, your finances, and your current life situation don’t define you… unless you let it. If you spend time, like most of us, scrolling through social media, you probably (unknowingly) compare your life to those fabulous pictures and videos that are constantly updating on your feed. Over time, though, this can start to deeply affect how you see yourself.
If you wake up in the morning dreading your day, or find yourself anxious before you’ve even brushed your teeth… it’s time to do something different. You may have convinced yourself that you’re just tired or don’t like your job. And while it may be true… these are also symptoms of burnout.
