Look and feel sexy in clothes

If you're like many women out there, getting dressed up for work, a night out or a friendly gathering involves more than picking out a nice outfit and putting on makeup. The mental aspect can be so draining that you find yourself second guessing each selection.

But it's not even the dressing up part; it's also the way you feel in your own skin.

How many times have you compared yourself to another woman?

Maybe you're a bit taller than the average and you find yourself slouching and feeling awkward next to her. Or maybe you’re heavier set and find yourself always wrapping your arms around your waist trying to cover what you perceive to be rolls and sags? Does it feel as though everyone around you is sensing your insecurity? It might feel like the world is snickering at you as you walk by, waiting for you to trip or make some embarrassing move. The snickers and the stares from people are so overwhelming that you would sooner stay at home than be caught in the outside world.

The reality is that those snickers and stares are most likely in your head. But it's so difficult to realize this when you are so engulfed with your own low self-thoughts.

It's when you pick up your self-esteem that you realize "hey I'm really just as attractive, if not more, than the next woman."

Why Is Self Worth and Body Image Important?

Self worth and body image is important because to truly get the most from self-pleasure and let’s be truthful to get the most from life you must have confidence in yourself and be comfortable in your own skin. Unfortunately for many women that isn’t the case. There are a number of factors for this.

It doesn’t help when you look in magazines and see skinny, airbrushed models wearing expensive clothes looking glamorous; the modern world seems to worship the perfect body and if you have low self esteem it is easy to believe that you are too tall, fat or unattractive

Girls, we are own worst critics picking up every small real or perceived fault with ourselves. We have all been a slave to the scale or checked the mirror more times that is healthy trying to work out why we look the way we do and if we think we are attractive enough. If we are not happy with our own body then we can’t get the most from it.

Whatever your body shape you are attractive and you are beautiful. You don’t have to be thin to be attractive! Women the first step is to be confident, appreciate your own body. Whatever you believe is true there is someone out there who finds you attractive. Beauty is not all about looks but confidence and believing in your own self-worth.

The trick lady is to recognise that your body is unique, enjoy and love it. Look at yourself and focus on the good details. People will focus on the good and not the bad. Believe in yourself and then you will see that everything else will follow.
