New Parameters Of Beauty Destroying Women's Confidence?

April 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Hair extensions, fake lashes, filled pouts, whitened teeth, pumped breasts, stick on nails, Spanxed hips, 6 inch heels… size ten women killing themselves to be a size eight, and size eight women putting their life at risk to be a size zero.

All so they can all look like each other, be accepted by society and feel good. Only all the paraphernalia, wasted time and money doesn’t seem to be doing the job. Instead, it’s freaking out men and turning more and more women into insecure girls.

Are today’s parameters of beauty are destroying women’s confidence?

Thanks to the inescapable fashion world and media pressures, women are expected to look fabulously thin and chic all the time, get back into top shape within weeks after giving birth, and never age… at any cost. Top Life Coach Anna Aparicio, a Self-esteem and Confidence Expert says this may be costing women more than just money; it is costing them their identity.

According to Anna more and more women of all ages and backgrounds are looking for help as a result of not being able to cope with the pressures of it all, feeling unhappy, frustrated, confused, and like they are not good enough.

"Women are trying to emulate today’s “role models”, but they just can’t keep up; Cheryl Cole’s body, Victoria Beckham’s outfits, Jennifer Aniston’s hair, JLo’s face… this women’s jobs may involve looking “perfect”, whatever perfect means, but thankfully ours isn’t" says Anna.

With an entourage of top hair stylists, makeup artists, fashion stylists, personal trainers, nutritionists, personal chefs, cosmetic surgeons, photoshop experts, and what not… who wouldn’t look fabulous all the time?

Anna reckons today's women are so obsessed with looks that they forget about many other factors essential to a woman’s self-worth. "This is why no matter how much time or money we invest in our looks, it never seems to be enough; we are still unhappy".

There is nothing wrong with wanting to maximise one's strong points and enhance one's assets, but it seems too many women out there are trying too hard to be someone else, someone they are not, which speaks volumes about today’s society and today’s women.

Is this the legacy women want to leave to future generations of women?

Anna also advises that those women who are not happy with themselves, should by all means do something about it. But never at the expense of their physical and mental health.

She also suggests women are not going to find happiness in the pages of gossip magazines, or watching programs about teenage models or celebs’ lives. "All that does is make you waste time and money, and chip off at your self-esteem as a result of ridiculous comparisons. If you don’t feel confident and proud of who you are, this is the result of certain things you have or haven’t been doing. Fortunately, you can change things"

The seminar is taking place on April 28th at Dublin's Stillorgan Park hotel. for more information and tickets visit http://dublinnlplifecoach.com/boost-self-esteem-confident...
