How To See Yourself Differently Than You Do






I struggled for years with how I saw myself. If you've ready my book Insecurity Detox, you know that I had a season of my life where I had so much body image anxiety that I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror when I washed my hands.  My struggle is not an uncommon one. In my years of coaching I have heard from hundreds of women that they struggle with something similar.  It might express itself differently, but it's the same core issue: not being able to see yourself for who you really are.  That's why I had to do an entire podcast episode on this topic, to help you start to see yourself for how amazing you are. In the show I'll share with you what I did to start changing, the kinds of prayers I prayed to God in the process and how to start the process of seeing yourself differently as well.  If I can change how I see myself, I know you can too. The first place to start changing is by listening to the podcast episode --- > www.trishblackwell.com/431

REVIEW OF THE WEEK:
 


ShaneilB, Thank you Trish Trish!!! I'm loving the podcasts. I used to spend my days being in my head, that negative self talk. I would think negative about anything that comes out of my mouth. This week I focus on saying, "well…anyways." It's going well so far. I feel so good about myself this week and I can't wait to start jouranling and finish up the other episodes while practicing everything in my daily life. Thank you, thank you. 




 
SO, YOU DON'T SEE YOURSELF HOW OTHERS SEE YOU
