Hello lovelies!
I'm really sorry for the lack of posts lately! I've had writers block and I've been revising for my upcoming A-level exams! But this week I'm back and I've chosen to speak about insecurities.
Earlier this week I read Louise Pentland's AKA Sprinkle of Glitters new blog post called 'Be your own kind of beautiful' which you can read here - sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk.
This made me start thinking about what I consider to be my insecurities and if they are even noticed by other people. When I look in the mirror I only ever point out the negatives that I see rather than the positives. I see a massive forehead, eyebrows that grow back way too fast, chubby cheeks and the ugly scars I have on my forehead. To test this hypothesis; that others don't see as many negatives that you as an individual do, I had a conversation with one of my best friends Becky. I told her about my list of insecurities and she completely disagreed with me. She said that she hadn't even noticed my scars before and that my eyebrows are great for growing back fast because I can change the style if I need to at anytime. This proves to me that, although I still have all of the insecurities previously mentioned, that the things you perceive to be 'problems' about yourself others may not even notice.
So I have a challenge for you. I think it's much harder, for me personally anyway, to give yourself compliments. So if you are a person like me who tends to put themselves down I challenge you to give yourself at least 3 compliments because you deserve to hear the good things that you have rather than the negative things that you supposedly have.
I assure you that all of you are gorgeous and the insecurities that you have about yourself are seen so differently in someone else's eyes.
If you feel confident enough comment the positive things you have said about yourself or the insecurities you have and as a blogging community we can help each other overcome out insecurities!
Next week I'm tempted to write a post about the pressure surrounding sex and advice for problems within the topic? Let me know what you think!
Love
