Assignment task: What something you like about this story add more about your experience with self-esteem
"My self esteem is an every evolving energy source I have. It changes day to day, month to month, year to year. Currently my body image is at an all time high which may be suprising to some because I am 36 and have had two children, but I think at some point throughout our 20's many women seem to sort that out. Having my daughter changed a lot of my mindset as I didnt want her to see or hear the struggle of body image. My friends and I who all have girls were just talking the other day that it seems society has shifted and many of our children our very supportive to us and each other about body image. There is less shaming of womens bodies and more support which is a relief when it comes to parenting.
One area of self esteem that I struggle in is my inner voice. Negative self talk has been a way that I have found motivation for most of my life and this is something that I am trying to defeat. I am currently taking spanish and because I struggle I am not being very kind to myself but I will work on that.
Brene Brown is my favorite author she talks about self esteem as "worthiness" and this is a great read."
