Being a woman is a full time job and as a woman I can boldly say that it is NOT an easy one. We are always criticized, judged and told what to do. No matter what you do, society will always have something to say. Sometimes, because of our desire to please people, we will end up listening to them. We feel the need to please them instead of ourselves! And because of this we forget the only person worth pleasing and listening to… OURSELVES! Here are a few tips on How to be a better woman for yourself.
Become a better woman for yourself
Embrace your imperfections
A lot of us find it hard to believe that we are beautiful, but for each one of us to succeed we need to understand that our worth isn’t defined by societal standards, in fact we are beautiful and smart just as we are. We don’t need anyone else’s input. Learn to compliment yourself everyday and to accept yourself as you are!
Stay Confident
Maintaining our confidence even when we have no idea what to do will help us get out of any situation! Believe in your potential, work towards becoming better at whatever task is giving you a hard time. Do not let anyone undermine you and stand up for yourself!
Keep Learning
Continual learning is essential. We all need to step out of our comfort zone and educate ourselves, gain a new skill and break gender stereotypes. I promise no knowledge is a waste! And if is not useful for you now, you might impact someone else’s life in future!
Prioritize Self-Care
Is no wonder everyone talks about self-care like is the biggest step in self love and improvement; it is because it is one of the biggest steps! Taking care of yourself mentally physically or even spiritually, means putting yourself first and making YOU a priority. Pamper yourself, choose your fashion style and feel good about who you are.
Know Your Heart’s Desire
