Transcript

Chapter eight, Self-confidence is like the weather. Some days I wake up feeling fantastic. Some days I don't feel as great when I wake up. It's okay. Life is still happening all around. Self-confidence and self-esteem are like the weather. Hot, Cold, Cloudy or rainy, The weather is always changing. Some days we feel great about ourselves. Other days we want to crawl back under the covers and wait for a new day. When I'm having a particularly challenging day, I go to bed as early as I can. Oftentimes if I can, I will take a nap. There is something about sleeping that mentally shifts my energy and helps me move forward. I am comforted by knowing that tomorrow is a new day and there's a 50-50 chance the sun will shine. Always know there are other people having stormy days just like you. Look yourself in the mirror and be grateful to be alive. Practice, Look at yourself in the mirror daily. Look for all the lines, Wrinkles and perfections. Affirm aloud, I love all of me, Body, Mind and spirit. Affirmation, I accept myself for the beauty I have to offer and I share myself with the world.
