Good topic. I have my rounds with feeling bad about myself, SOMETIMES. I have days where I feel fat, ugly, not so together, etc. However I realize that I am special to God and that if anyone is goiing to think I'm attractive, caring, smart, on point or whatever - It has to be me first. So, I focus on my more positive attributes and things that make me happy.
What causes low self-esteem? Internally speaking:
- Comparing yourself to other people - in person and in magazines.
- Not believing in yourself or conquering some of your fears and weaknesses
What we can do for each other is focus on our positive characteristics and find strength in knowing that we all are succeptible, but we don't have to be consumed.
