Throughout my childhood, teenagers and early twenties I have had low self-confidence. I hated having my photo’s taken and would always hide when the time came at parties to have a big photo with everyone.
Perhaps this was brought on by bullying I experienced or not being happy with the way I physically looked… I’m still working on myself to see where this all stemmed from.
It’s not until the big ‘quarter century’ did I realise that the most important thing for myself was self-love. I know some people may think this is being ‘stuck up’ or ‘snobby’ but when you understand the concept of loving yourself first your whole life will change. Not only do I now feel better about myself, I walk with my head held that little bit higher and smile a lot more. Don’t get me wrong, this ABSOLUTELY didn’t happen over night and I had to work on myself a lot.
‘Selfie’ was never a word I used when growing up but now I abolsutely love it. What I don’t like about the word is people’s negative view that if you post a lot of selfie’s you are somehow ‘so in-love with yourself’. I’d challenge most people (both Men and Women) to take a selfie; they don’t have to share it with anyone but themselves. A photo that they can see how beautiful they are and that being self-confident and loving yourself is not a negative thing.
Look at what I achieved with a little bit of self-love.
Do you enojoy a good selfie?
