What is Womens self-esteem? Definition: A woman's experience of being capable of meeting life's challenges and the feeling of being worthy of happiness. Women who have healthy or authentic self-esteem trust their own being to be constructive, responsible, and trustworthy. It is an inner state that can be nurtured and cultivated. A Womans Self-esteem is the level that you respect and value yourself as a lovable, worthwhile woman. Where Does Self-Esteem Come From? Our self-esteem develops and evolves throughout our lives as we build an image of ourselves through our experiences with different people and activities. Experiences during our childhood play a particularly large role in the shaping of our basic self-esteem. When we were growing up, our successes (and failures) and how we were treated by the members of our immediate family, by our teachers, coaches, religious authorities, and by our peers, all contributed to the creation of our basic self-esteem.

A Mom strips in public to push self-love message!


Once again, a very brave and courageous action has been taken to prove that there are people out there that do not view the human body as a judgement call. It is however, also proof that the need for accepting who we are without prejudice is still very much an issue for many.
We read and hear that, "self-acceptance must first come from within". I  totally agree, as how else can you accept who you are through the eyes of another?
There will always be doubt in the back of your mind when measuring your worth through someone else's words.

~Truly Inspirational~




Feeling less than about who you are will not change the day for anyone but you!
You are among many with your self-acceptance!
You are all alone in your self persecution!
The only one responsible for your self-acceptance is YOU!
We are human, therefore we are ALL flawed!

~Self-Perfection = Self-esteem~


Take the message above very seriously, as it is what will determine your ability to love you.

How you see yourself through your own eyes is what will take you to a higher self-image which will in-turn raise your self-esteem. I am sharing one of my more intense articles on self-esteem with you as I feel it can never be read enough~


Self-esteem issues seems to be one of the strongest emotions that challenge many women today.
It has become a woman's first worry when she awakens, and her last worry before she sleeps.
It is said that we are all born with a natural self-esteem, but through the worlds concerns about power and control, we have been trained to worry about what others think of us and how we can please them.

We have forgotten how to love ourselves and treat ourselves with respect.

We are taught that loving ourselves is selfish and will only make us appear conceited, which will turn people off. If we are not allowed to learn how to love ourselves, then how can we learn to allow others to love us? We cannot feel love and positive esteem for ourselves if we focus all of it on others first. If we do, we then run the risk of offering all of our inner feelings to someone and not getting anything in return. At this point we begin to feel resentment, cheated and even lower in our ability to ever love again.
People that have scars from resentment and abuse are the hardest people to love. They have the highest low self-esteem walls to climb. In short, they are unreachable.

This is not a good thing at all.

 When a person says in all honesty that they are suffering from a low self-esteem issue, I take that very seriously. This is a true cry for help. They are at the bottom of their pit and are asking for help to get out. They are at a point where they will expect you to love them and take care of them as they would themselves. In other words, we all know the worst thing a person can do is expect their partner to be a mind reader. Well, when a person is suffering from a low self-esteem, trust me, they do expect just that. They will expect for you to just know what they need. They only have faith in you. They have lost faith in themselves long ago and they have no recourse. This places a very huge burden on your shoulders as their partner.

This is not a good thing..........

Self-Comparison...



Be happy with your uniqueness, and don't compare...

Self-comparison is one of the most common felt, not to mention dangerous, emotions. When you worry and question yourself as to whether or not you measure up, you immediately set up self-destructing roadblocks to a positive self-esteem and your own happiness.
To compare yourself with others, is indirectly questioning your own self-worth.

You are already giving in to self-destructive thoughts such as:
  -I am not as pretty...
  -I am not as skinny..
  -I don`t have the same walk as..
  -I will never be able to afford...
  -I could never be as popular as...
If you were to say these things out loud or watch yourself say them in a mirror, it would not take long to hear a true lack of self-respect.

Have you ever heard that the more you tell yourself something, the more you will surely begin to believe it? Well, this is why I speak so highly of retraining your thought patterns. Whether it is positive or negative thoughts, eventually your mind will be re-trained. The key is to stay away from the negative and/or replace them with positive thoughts. The longer that you dwell on any negative thought, the more likely it will seem very true to you.

When you begin to question your own value as a human being, you are blatantly abusing your own self-esteem. Why would you ever want to do that? Self-comparison involves self-worth and uniqueness to a very high degree. Have you ever been invited to a party for an old school friend? Did you dread the thought of how you will compare to people that you used to go to high school with? It's an ugly feeling isn't it? Then why not just think about seeing old friends again? Better yet, hope that many of the friends that you shared an important time of your life with will turn up, or for that matter are even still alive.

Self-esteem through Ernestine Sheperd: BodyBuilder

Going from 20 -50 even to 70 years of age... where is it said, that, as women age, we have to stop taking care and concern of our health and our bodies?
Why do we allow our self-esteem, self-love and our confidence to be directed by outside influence?
It is no secret that in society today, we face many stereotypical challenges aside from the natural life cycles, that it does become harder and harder to feel that we have and still serve a purpose in this world.
I dedicate this post to a woman whom has taken all of those misconceptions and stereotypical ways of thinking and not only embraced the challenges but used her energies and proved them all wrong~
I would like to share with you, a special post today of an incredibly inspirational, dedicated and motivated lady~

Meet Ernestine Sheperd:....





At 75, Ernestine Shepherd is in better shape than most people, decades her junior. Up at 3 a.m. every morning, she spends her days running, lifting weights and working out.  Aside all of that, she also works as a certified personal trainer at her gym.

Feeling better than she  did at 40,”Bodybuilding champion Ernestine Shepherd shows us that ”being out of shape” as we age truly is merely an option — NOT a mandate! She is a role model not just for senior women everywhere, but for every one of us. . More of Ernestein
