Download The Woman in the Mirror: How to Stop Confusing What You Look Like with Who You Are AudioBook Free
A lot of women - irrespective of income, size, form, ethnicity, and years - are unpleasant in their own skin area. We fixate on our body image and try never-ending diets, implants, scalp extensions, and new shoes, but it's never enough. The problem is that women and women have been socialized to mistakenly conflate body esteem and self-esteem. Body esteem identifies the way you think and experience your physical appearance: your size, form, scalp, and features. Self-esteem identifies the way you think and experience your personality, your role in romantic relationships, your accomplishments, as well as your values - everything that plays a part in who you are as a person. The Woman in the Reflection runs beyond typical self-esteem catalogs to dig deep in to the origins of women's issues with body image. Psychologist Cynthia Bulik leads listeners in the challenging activity of disentangling self-esteem from body esteem, and taking charge of the insidious negative self-talk that started out as soon as when you first became aware you didn't really appear to be a fairy princess. By reprogramming how exactly we experience ourselves and our anatomies, we can practice healthy eating and practical exercise, and concentrate on the countless things we have to offer our family, community, and job. Bulik provides us the various tools to reclaim our self-confidence and to respect and love who we have been.
