We have seen many women fall on that sad trail, turning themselves into objects to get some level of appreciation, it all boils down to self-concept. Spending time alone is the only remedy. Take some “me time,” confront that side of you that you keep bottled up. Stand in front of your mirror for a while without criticizing yourself like you always do. Say out loud the things you love about yourself and say out loud that you also love the things that you don’t love about yourself. Do this over and over again till you believe. When you innately get to love yourself holistically, then you will be able to love others authentically; and in turn, they will love you more because ultimately, they won’t have to try too hard to make you feel good about yourself. 7 DOZ Magazine | March 2020
