Have you ever stopped to think about how your self esteem affects other areas of your well-being? If you are suffering from low self esteem chances are you are also suffering in other areas of your life such as your health, both mental and physical, it can affect your emotional wellness, your relationships and so much more.There are so many people that don’t really realize that they are suffering from poor self esteem. They may realize that some things are just not right or that they are just not happy but not really realize it to be a self esteem issue. We live in a society that is consumed with conditioning. We tend to become brain washed so to speak into letting others control the way we value ourselves.Poor self image is a good example of this conditioning. We have manifested the idea in our minds that if we don’t look like the model on the front of a fitness or glamour magazine that we are inferior and we develop a dislike for who we see in the mirror each morning. There are women who take drastic measures to make themselves look more like those models  by having plastic surgery, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, you name it and it can probably be done and someone has probably done it but the truth is…..THESE THINGS DON’T MAKE YOU ANY MORE LOVABLE OR ANY HAPPIER! You should be happy with the body that God has given you, God made you to be perfect in his eyes, so what else matters? Changing your appearance on the outside changes nothing on the inside, you are still the same person. Maybe you  should change your thinking first and get in touch with who you really are before going to such drastic measures as surgery and then if you  still want to change the way you look at least you will be doing it to please yourself  not to be accepted by others. You have to be happy with you.If you are unhappy with areas of your life that you can change then you need to take steps to make these changes, sitting around crying about them or wishing things were different won’t change them, you have to work towards them.  Let’s work on building a higher self-esteem and see how all the areas of your life improve.
