Liberating!
I was the only marketing major in my women study class in college. Being taught to think about everything from one perspective for so long, it was not easy for me to face the criticisms from my fellow women warriors. Somehow, at the end of the semester, I was able to look beyond the pages of the magazines and understand the underlining messages presented to us, the female audience. From that moment on, I also become super appreciative for comments like yours.
In a way, these “things” really prompt us to stand in front of the mirror and take a good look at what we are to the outside world. At the same time, more importantly, we realize how strong and beautiful we really are inside…

Thank you for that article, it was refreshing. I think we all forget that no matter who you are or what you look like, every woman has insecurities. Positive thinking is definately the way forward!

I love that suggestion! Rather than look at anyone with a critical eye I will always ask myself “What do I like?” from now on. I tend to look for the best in people and find something I like or appreciate about them, but reading you comment I realized that this doesn’t always transfer to physical appearance. I often fall into the trap of comparing my looks to other women (I try not to, but sometimes it just happens automatically!) even though I look for the best in their personality. Just the thought of approaching people this way is refreshing… I can’t wait to get out of the house and put it into practice. Thanks!

For some reason I find that we, as women, have an automatic tendency to criticize ourselves or someone else at the first sight.
Look at her hair! What is she wearing? Ugh, my thighs look like saddlebags.
One thing I’ve learned to do is control my thoughts and change negative ones into positive ones. So whenever I see another woman, or my reflection, I ask, What do I like? This forces your mind to shift and focus on the positive, and thus you automatically see beauty, in yourself and everyone else.
