Amy Schumer's book, The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo
I have been reading many books this summer because of more availability, as I decide if I should retire or not, even if I don't sell my house. But, I wanted to share with you something that stood out a lot to me because it is so common. The book is rather raunchy but then she is a comedian. One of the things that surprised me is how Amy felt about her body image. It never fails to surprise me how many beautiful women do not recognize their beauty. It happens to men too and this is the advice I give all genders. Stand nude in front of the mirror and tell yourself you are beautiful. This is normally painful for people because they don't believe it, but nothing feels greater for me (well a few things) when people begin to see themselves differently. They see themselves in a better light. Some take longer than others but I have seen that it does work. Please do this every day. See the worth in yourself and stay away from people and social media trolls who haunt you. Degrading a person's beauty is something quite often in abusive relationships. The abuser expects the survivor to believe she/he is not worthy of the abuser and should be pleased. Please try this with the mirror and even better find yourself a qualified therapist to help you explore where all these negative thoughts come from and help you process it to help you heal. What do you think?
