01 Mar 2020INSPIRATIONBY Natalia

It's so easy to feel down and unmotivated nowadays, especially with the ideal lifestyle we're exposed to and encouraged to have. You can't help but want that instant perfection - you know, the ones you would often see on television or movies.

We're here to tell you that there's more to being a female than what they make it seem to be. On that note and in light of International Women's Day, SweetEscape is here to give a few tips to empower our dear female audiences to feel better and appreciate themselves more in today's society.

1. Confidence is key - engage in self-esteem boosting activities to release those endorphins

You don't need all that botox, implants and whatnots. Boost your confidence naturally; hit the gym, spoil yourself at the spa either alone or with a friend. Remember, what (really) matters is on the inside. When you feel good, you'll look good and vice versa!

2. Realize you are special, worth it and loved!

No matter your skin, size, shape and ethnicity, realize that you are loved and just as special as anyone else. Being different is what makes you special, and surely you've got your own unique set of qualities to offer; and they're what make you, YOU!

3. Believe in yourself - you can do and be anything you want to be!

You can do, be and achieve anything you hope for... but it requires believing in yourself aside from all the effort you'll have to put in. Steer away from the haters to maintain a positive mindset to reach your dreams and goals. Negativity, be gone!

4. Don’t let others put you down - you define your own worth!

As Christina Aguilera's song goes, so don't you bring me down, today, the same should be applied in your life! Define your own worth and uphold your own self-value. This way, words won't get through you that easily. In result? You'll be a strong, independent and respectable female!

5. You are perfectly imperfect - don’t be fooled by what you see on social media

What we see on social media doesn't always portray real life. We forget to read between the lines, and it's not your fault; social media has its ways of brainwashing you. Don't be fooled by images of "perfect" looking females; the term too good to be true definitely applies in this case. With Photoshop, Facetune and other photo editing apps, you can play various tricks on the mind. Remember, things are not always what they seem!

6. Grass is always greener on the other side - cultivate your own and enjoy your own hard work!

Opportunities are different for everyone, but as long as you work hard for what you want; you are more than deserving of your happiness. The key is in the process; how devoted, passionate, driven and consistent you are. Everyone has their own battles and obstacles behind the scenes, and they don't always show it.
