Do you sometimes feel you’re not as beautiful as other women?<\/h3>\n

In part 1 of this series<\/a>, I shared how to stop the old habit of “finding flaws in yourself.”<\/p>\n

The second most common way we keep ourselves stuck in shame-based beauty is by experiencing beauty as a competition with other women, rather than as a camaraderie of women.<\/p>\n

#2—Comparing yourself to other women.<\/h4>\n

We all learned to do this in our early teens.<\/p>\n

When we were 12 or 13 years old, we were insecure and uncertain about our appearance. Our culture teaches us that beauty looks a certain way, and those who express it in that way are more popular. As a young and innocent girl if you didn’t fit that pattern, you may have concluded\u00a0that you were not attractive.<\/p>\n

To address this wounding, let’s do this exercise together.<\/p>\n

Find a picture of your 13-year-old self. The one I used is featured in my book, Discover Your Type of Beauty<\/em>. You might remember it because it\u2019s the one where I completely inked my face out. I believed I was so ugly!<\/p>\n

Once you’ve found your picture, write a letter to that 13-year-old girl and tell her the truth about who she is.<\/p>\n

Here’s a template to get you started:<\/h4>\n

Dear Beautiful 13-year-old self,<\/p>\n

I love and appreciate you. I want to tell you the truth of who you are. The truth is\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026…………………………
\nThe old beliefs of\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.., are not true.
\nYou are a beautiful Type….. girl, and what that means is\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..
\nI want you to join me in knowing and living the truth of who we are.<\/p>\n

You are special.<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n

Your amazing adult self<\/p>\n

Next week<\/a> we’ll look at the ways we judge our bodies to still<\/em> not be good enough and why that’s keeping us in a shame-based beauty experience. I’ll share what we can do to shift it to a\u00a0truth-based beauty experience.

 <\/div>\n

Remember, take a moment and write that letter to your beautiful 13 year old self.<\/em><\/h4>\n
