Self Love: A positive self image
We
all struggle with our self-image from time to time, some more than others.
Self Image: The way you think about
yourself and your abilities or appearance.
It’s
a never-ending battle to stop thinking about ourselves in negative ways. We
constantly compare ourselves to other people. Be it a celebrity or someone we
see at the mall. We see a beautiful person and immediately start envying their
clothes, hair, makeup etc.
"Real beauty isn’t about symmetry or weight or makeup; it’s about
looking life right in the face and seeing all its magnificence reflected in
your own."
Valerie Monroe
There
are even times we envy others for how well they do things. “She’s so smart.”,
“She has the best boyfriend.”, “Wow! Her blog is really amazing!”
The
great thing is, we can see the beauty in other people but the bad thing is, we
don’t see our own beauty. We are all unique in our own ways.
"A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation
for success."

Body
Image is a very delicate subject as well. A lot of us have this in common.
Instead of us being proud of the way we look physically, the media makes us
doubt ourselves and dislike our bodies.

| Khloe Kardashian is someone who is constantly judged about her weight. She is one of the most beautiful women ever no matter what size she is! |
Body Image: the subjective picture
or mental image of one's own body.
We
really need to do our best to love ourselves. If there is something we
genuinely do not like then we need to fix it because we want to. Not because
other people want us to. There is a tremendous amount of pressure on women to
go through life looking photo-shopped. We are all flawed and different. That’s
what makes us beautiful individuals.

| Remember when V Magazine showed us beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. |
"People often say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and
I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the
beholder."
Salma Hayek
