Most women have a real, deep seeded self-esteem issue at some point in their lives. For some, it is during or in the year following pregnancy. For others, it may be in the winter when skin tends to be dried out and pale. Or maybe it is during a difficult time during a relationship. Some women suffer throughout their lives.
Low self-esteem, as you can imagine, drastically reduces a woman’s sex drive. It’s hard to be seductive, relaxed, out-going, and romantic when one feels like a huge dried out elephant.
Media images infiltrate our brains to the point if we are not a size zero, or two at the largest, we aren’t six feet tall, we don’t have huge boobs and long lean legs, and long, flowing hair, then we are not sexy. And ladies, we fall for it hook, line, and sinker. We believe what we see. We believe what we hear. We believe the music videos, magazine ads, car commercials, and movie heroines tell us. Although we may attempt to push that out of our minds, it’s still there, locked away, ready to pounce into our bedrooms at any given time.
All of us have a little vixen in us, and every single woman on the planet is a sexy siren. It absolutely doesn’t matter what you weigh, how short or long your hair is, how large or small your boobs are, or what color your skin is. The sexiness is there, just waiting for you to unleash it.
When that evil little monster called self-doubt rests its tiny little body on your shoulder, whispers in your ear, “Who are you fooling? You are not sexy at all. You are hideous,” what do you do? Do you cover your ears and sing, “Na, na na na na, I can’t hear you,” and ignore it completely? Do you take its words to heart and believe every syllable it speaks? Or are you somewhere in the middle? Personally, I tend to lean toward the middle. I want to tell it to shut the hell up. I want to whack it off my shoulder and smash it like a spider on the floor. I want to turn a deaf ear and believe its just another cruel remark that doesn’t matter to me, but that’s easier said that done.
How do we ignore the little devil? Stay tuned for tomorrow’s blog and together we will figure it out. If you feel brave, leave a comment telling me what you do about the little devil and how it makes you feel. Or better yet, tell me how you believe we can fight it. Together, hand it hand, we will send that little devil back to hell where it belongs and we will all emerge as sexy, strong, confident women. Are you ready, ladies? I am. Let’s get started.
