Women & Self Steem

Why is it that women have such a hard time coming into themselves?

I truly feel that society confuses us so much, we leave self esteem at the backdoor.

Women often forget themselves.

In the hustle and bustle of life, we forget who we actually are.

We loose ourselves.

We become moms.

We are wives.

We are housekeepers.

Baby-sitters.

Career women.

Nurturers.

Providers.

But somewhere along the lines.

We forget we are ourselves.

One woman...

With our own needs.

We have self esteem for our children.

We are so proud of them.

We grin at our husbands with admiration.

We feed the souls of so many

But when do we feed our souls?

I believe it is time for us women to remember OURSELVES.

How do you feel about this?

Do you share a special ritual with yourself that feeds your soul?

I know daily I can smile and say I have built my children up to be strong self esteemed little people.

But I also know there are nights I lay in bed wondering just exactly who I am.

Speak out ladies, I look forward to sharing your thoughts here!

"There has been many a time when I too have felt this way;
When all the daily routines are said and done,I sit by
myself and wonder;I wonder am I truly appreciated?Do I
truly deserve recognition for being a mom,for being a
sole supporter of my children?I ponder these and many
other things daily.I've sat and thought about this many
times and,many times I tell myself that what makes me
happy and what brings me peace is knowing within myself
that I do deserve recognition,recognition from myself."

"Thank you for sharing your insight and wisdom with us."

I am not female and although it is a safe place to be - under the nurture of the kind you describe . It can be destructive .I was brought up with a mum and two sisters , over nurtured. Why do you think men need someone to watch them do things ?
So come on women , get your act together , hav e the confidence to say .. No
