Our Perception About Beauty – No Wonder it is Being Distorted
I’m a woman and just anyone who has experienced poor self-esteem in younger years. I feel okay disclosing this mainly because it is a ground that I’m definitely not perfect and never often self-confident. While growing up, there are times that I was feeling substandard of my outward appearance while criticizing myself and inclined to believe that I share the same thoughts with other folks about myself.
Yet the fact remains that nothing of that seemed to be precise; all those thoughts were just a product of my imagination. Nobody had been declaring those ideas about me but myself. However, that’s exactly what influences our own self esteem; those self-defeating ideas turn out to be credible, bypassing any optimistic feelings that attempt to separate from the walls of pessimism.
Even today after celebrating three decades of my existence, I, nevertheless, could find those thoughts sneaking up occasionally. But the only disparity is the fact that I can now examine these kinds of presumptions and point out to myself that I possess more to feel confident about it.
At least, I don’t feel insecure about myself seeing that I’m more mature, and I’m not likely as focused on what other people think. During my teenage years, those were thoughts that I was not effective from doing.
Nowadays, I realize why a great number of people, specifically women, have problems with inferiority or self-esteem? Could it be the media, who infuses information involving beauty and flawlessness that create many of us to look and feel inferior? Is it the demand from modern society, hinting on many of us in order to become triumphant, we must perform things impressively and be the greatest? On the other hand, perhaps it can be something different, which makes many of us believe that we are inadequate, not beautiful enough, or bright enough just like we are.
However, the majority of teens ended up struggling with self-esteem, it frightens me to believe that plenty of them never attempt to deal with it. In case there happens to be a medical issue, folks look for medical assistance. If there is an issue with an automobile, individuals bring this thing to have it repaired.
Self-esteem translates no difference, it is a significant concern and one that can turn out to be a lifelong gloominess for many. Teenagers having poor self-esteem typically develop into grown up with bad self-esteem. And any bad self-image results in people a lot more inclined to be caught up by unfavorable conducts due to despondency to fill up that emptiness.
As mothers, we must support simply by developing a surroundings, which encourages self-acceptance instead of an environment which concentrates on imperfections. Absolutely, nobody is perfect and our children have to be reminded of this particular knowing that nobody ought to determine themselves against those impractical and unachievable requirements.
I want you to check this video below that exhibits the evolution of a lady, who is featured in an advertisement campaign and see the unrealistic images as being painted by the media.

Mommy Umz, I am so thankful that I have a husband who supported me through and through. When I reached the age of 40 it came to me that everything is different now. Hormones is fluctuating up and down ^_^ and I just hated my body!! I keep on comparing myself when I was in my 20′s and 30′s, which is wrong. Because to accept it or not if you are in your 40′s you can’t have a 20′s body nor a skin of a baby, right? But that is the truth and thankfully I was able to passed that phase of my life, it was hard and we women need someone like our husband to boast our self esteem our self confidence because if not we are doomed hehe!
Now, I accept wholeheartedly that as in my mid 40′s I can’t wear a dress like those ladies in the 20′s or 30′s. But to wear what is appropriate for my age and still look beautiful. Now I am enjoying it and if my body is not as curvaceous as in my adolescent or young adult years well who cares? Hahaha!
Loving my life, taking care of my body is what matters most because I wanted to grow old beautifully and graciously. Happy weekend and be safe!

@ Manang Kim,
You are so lucky to have a supportive hubby – indeed having a husband who treat you that way would definitely make you confident and feel loved regardless of who you are. Looks will fade over time but the one that doesn’t wither is our confidence and our outlook in life.
If you exude confidence, you feel great, you look good.. wink *
Happy weekend to you too.

this is a very awesome blog post pretty Umma..it is indeed the media that make us women feel inferior to those perfect figures they are making… i admit i do feel insecure and even discriminate myself in front of the mirror sometimes. i usually complain about my poor height, the growing pimples on my face and the extra fats on my waist. Buti nalang hubby always reminds me that nobody is perfect and that he loves me not because i am that and this but because I am Rechie.
Beauty is only skin deep and very temporary. It will pass away in the course of time. We must not look only at the outer appearance of a person but in her inner qualities. The Bible says that man was fearfully and wonderfully made and was created in the image and likeness of God. After creating man, God termed His creation good. And good to God is perfect. What makes us the same as the likeness and image of God is our spirit with whom we share the same constitution with God. God looks at the heart and not at the outside appearance of man. He appreciates more the benign qualities of man rather than his outer appearances. It is unfortunate and ironic that the same body that we pamper so much in our lifetime will be food for the worms when we die. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
