Everyone has their self conscience traits, they could have been sparked from anything from someone making an un-necessary comment to you that they didn’t think would be offensive but yet it’s the one thing that you cant get out of your head. Constantly because of that comment you find yourself constantly thinking of that thing it could be anything from how big your nose is to how small your boobs are… we all have that one thing we feel awful about it could be a physical characteristic to an emotional one. I hate it when people beat themselves up about the way they look or the way they act.
Females are especially guilty of this but males are guilty as well. Both males and females feel that the way they look is not the ideal way to look, not perfect but people need to realize that there is no such thing as perfect and there is no ideal way to look because we all look different. You should never feel less than perfect with yourself ever. Whenever you look yourself in the mirror you need to get that comment of what that insensitive jerk said to you out of your head and focus on the good things. If you’re a little bit chubby in the stomach why not focus on the way your shoulders and chest draws the attention away from your stomach and dress in clothing that accents your finer traits.
There are a thousand ways to make yourself feel better in your own skin. It could be from dressing a different way to accent the finer qualities to simply telling yourself you like the way your hair looks that day. If your feeling like something is emotionally wrong, like your having continuous bad days try this, fake it! Act like your happy all the time and eventually you’ll trick your mind into believing that you’re happy and sooner than later you will start feeling happier and stop feeling negative.
Or try this, increase your physical fitness level. Trust me it works, there are thousands of proven studies out there which show the positive effects physical fitness has on teenagers. If you’re feeling like crap go for a run, and keeping running day after day after day. I know at the time you’ll feel like crap and you’ll feel like dying but in about half an hour you’ll feel amazinnggggg! Eventually if you keep up the physical fitness every day then you’ll gain more energy and improve your marks in school. Start eating a little bit better and working out and in time you’ll start losing weight, start physically looking better and feel good about yourself.
Don’t ever let yourself believe your ugly, fat, stupid or any of those other stupid insults. Believe in the good comments and the way you look at yourself in the mirror and know that you look amazing. If you believe in the negative comments and listen to them eventually that’s all you’ll become even if the comments aren’t true but if you ignore them and start doing things to help you improve you’ll get better.
Don’t ever feel like your less than f*ckin’ perfect!
You said, "Act like your happy all the time and eventually you’ll trick your mind into believing that you’re happy and sooner than later you will start feeling happier and stop feeling negative."
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite quotes goes like this... "We smile because we are happy, but we're also happy because we smile. Act the part and you'll become the part."
How you feel about yourself is a biiig deal, and I think it has a huge affect on how many good days and bad days you have. It's ridiculous how much the people around us can affect how we feel - since when did we let other people tell us what's beautiful? And girl's obbsessions with makeup drives me off the wall, I don't understand why we're so obbsessed with looking perfect. I guess that's because the world tells us to look perfect, but honestly.
Self esteem is one of those things that's personal, no one can tell you how you view yourself, people need to always remember that. I think that the only way to boost self esteem is to become aware of how much the people around you are influencing you, and also STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO EVERYONE ELSE. You are you, and you'll always be you. That's the downfall in our society, we're so consumed in becoming one of a million. Personally, I think yourself is the prettiest a girl can get.
And just one more quote... "Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius. It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
I couldn't agree with you more!
ReplyDeleteGirls everywhere feel so bad about themselves, I see it everyday and feel so bad because there's really nothing we can do to help people feel better about themselves. Its really depressing actually to think of how many people out there hate themselves SOOO much!
