Shift Your Perception to Improve Self-Esteem and Your Dream Life

Real Beauty Comes In All Shapes and Sizes

Real Beauty Comes In All Shapes and Sizes

When two friends tag you on Facebook about the same movie that a third friend messaged you on, you listen. All three happened within hours. Apparently my obsession for discussing all things self-esteem is well known.

I was thrilled they shared this with me.

The creative genius behind Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty has come up with another incredible way to get women to see themselves as beautiful.

As a photographer, I have a strict honor code to flatter and uplift the women I work with. It’s something my work is famous for. It’s exciting that a retailer of beauty products is doing the same.

I loved Dove’s first campaign showing a beautiful woman go through the hair, makeup and retouching process.

The video helped non-professionals visualize the process that many magazine covers go through. In so doing, I believe they helped give women and girls a tool to undo damage by comparison.

You can’t hate yourself for not being pretty enough if even MODELS aren’t pretty enough.

However, I did criticize that the “real” women they feature in ads are still chosen from casting calls for being exceptionally beautiful. No matter that they are a company selling products, I can’t deny that they are taking a risk to actually address what every woman and girl needs to hear.

Please watch both movies. I am immensely happy that Dove is taking the leap to address a problem that people are growing more and more ready to remedy.

This soldier feels hopeful that change in the battle for healthy self-esteem is imminent.

What signs are you seeing that self-esteem can change for the better?

There are signs of improving self-esteem all around us. Share in the comments if you’ve seen or had a positive self-esteem moment lately!
