The Power of Believing in Yourself: The Medicine Your Self-Esteem Needs

 “Despite being in the storm with oneself it is not impossible to come out into the light.”

 

 Being around different people at all times of the day makes us observant.
We observe a girl well dressed, made up, without any acne spots on her forehead. She is approached by many people and complimented on how pretty she looks today?

In the midst of that situation, we wonder why they don't look at us the same way? We consume the idea of being like the models, the most gifted girls, the most stylish guys, etc. We are forced to change our style and tastes, but above all our essence, to fit into a social standard.

 

 Damage to yourself

 
😔Lowering your self-esteem can affect your daily life, locking you into insecurities, doubting your abilities and limiting your opportunities.

🤯It will influence you to set limits: your inner cry will not be heard in situations in which you do not want to participate.

💧It can lead to depression, making you doubt yourself and self-sabotage for fear of not being up to the task.

Accepting our defects is the first step to saving ourselves. But how to make it possible?

 

Recovering your shine💝

💛Reflect on who you are, your values and strengths, without being overly self-critical.

💪Informing yourself about good habits such as sleeping well, eating better and exercising will improve your confidence.

👯Surround yourself with people who understand and value you, without minimizing or belittling you.
 

"In my pre-teen years, I saw other girls standing out with more delicate skin and more mature looks. Meanwhile, my body betrayed me with pimples on my forehead, a big appetite and weight gain.

My inner child forced herself to hide, mistreating her face and following “tips” to lose weight fast. What marked me the most were the criticisms and looks that judged my appearance".

¡The love within you!

Waiting for life to fall into place on its own is impossible. We must work on ourselves, rebuild ourselves when necessary, but not for the approval of others, but for our own well-being.

The human being needs change in order to grow. To love ourselves is to work on it, without giving importance to destructive opinions that may limit our happiness and leave us with the thought of what “could have been”.

It is not about reaching perfection, but about learning to love yourself with your lights and shadows.
