Building Your Self-Esteem As A SIngle Mother
I don’t know about y’all but when I was pregnant my self-esteem started to decrease and once I had my children my self esteem was gone. I no longer felt beautiful, I no longer felt young, I no longer felt confident. I was no longer living for myself but for my kids. If you have endured this same feeling continue to read.
How to build your self esteem
Say affirmations
Have “me” time
Get your hair done/ nails done self-care
Find other moms to hang with
Dress up more (even if you aren’t going anywhere)
Keep home clean and fresh
Many people look for happiness and love in other people and places when it should come from within. God made you exactly how he wanted you. After we have our children we tend to focus more on our kids rather than our purpose.
I believe in 2023 times has really changed due to social media. Social media is amazing because it connects us to people all around the world but the problem is that we look at other peoples life and compare it to ours. Many times on social media we post positive things but you don’t see what goes on behind close doors, we see a snippet of their life. Don’t compare your life to someone else because we don’t know the trials that person went through to get to where they are today.
God made us exactly how he wanted us. Love yourself! If you don’t like something about yourself then change it. When you make healthy changes to your life it’ll help build your self esteem but when you are making the changes make sure that you do it for yourself and not for other people. Make sure God guides you and not flesh.
Don’t allow your children to take your life but allow them to help you grow in life. Your children will grow up and start their own family. If you surround your life strictly around your children and not focus on you anymore than it may cause severe depression. You will feel alone! Get up and love yourself!
Self care and self love is really important because God is one of love and kindness even to those who spread hate. If you are a representation of God you have to learn to love yourself and care for yourself more. Your body is your temple. It’s special to God!
