Her feet are so small and her chest is so large that she would have to walk on all fours!

What is REAL Beauty??

Keep this in mind when looking at magazines and media images…
Media images aren’t realistic… Media images often show
unhealthy examples – not “normal” people….
99.9% of images released in media are computer enhanced…
• Things like - wrinkles, blemishes, uneven skin tones, sags, bulges, or out of place hairs, can be fixed by a computer before going to print.
Often these people have personal trainers, personal chefs, makeup artists, personal shoppers and stylists, AND STILL THE PICTURES ARE DIGITALLY ALTERED!!!
Other things to remember about famous men/women that are unrealistic for the average person…

Where do we get our self esteem??
External Factors – parents, teachers, friends, siblings, media
Internal Factors – our own thoughts and feelings that we have about ourselves
Tips to Help Build Self Esteem1. Identify your strengths 2. Try some new things that interest you3. Set and achieve goals4. Don’t read fashion/muscle magazines and
compare yourself to unrealistic models.5. Accept compliments 6. Exercise – be active7. Laugh and smile8. Do something for someone else9. Use positive self talk
Self Talk The messages we tell ourselves
about ourselves!!
We all have messages running through our heads – like a tape recorder – it repeats all the positive or negative things you hear, see, read or imagine.
Focuses more on FEELINGS and ASSUMPTIONS
Example…. If you get an F on a paper – you might say:
• “I’m so stupid, I hate this class, I can’t ever get a good grade.” (Negative self talk)
Negative Self Talk
Focuses on the FACTS and REALITY • not on feelings or things you imagine or assume.
Example…. If you get an F on a paper – you might say:
• “This is just one paper, maybe I can redo it. I’m going to check with my teacher to see what things I can do differently, next time I’m sure I will do much better”
Positive Self Talk
Web of Negative Thoughts Often we get “stuck” because of the negative
thoughts we think about ourselves….
These thoughts are not based on “fact” but on feelings and on LIES we tend to buy into.
Fill in the spider web with all the thoughts about yourself that you tend to get “stuck” on. Some of them maybe you have said to yourself, maybe they are things others have told you and you have believed to be true or have gotten them stuck in your head….
