For Immediate Release: A Self Esteem Public Service Announcement

This is an important urgent announcement for all my ladies. Take off your blindfolds kittens, there is an infectious disease currently being spread and it's called Low Self-Esteem and will have your overall self-worth hovering somewhere around the orange threat level.

Now, I know what you're thinking...that you love yourself above all else and how dare I even bring a fellow woman's self-esteem into question. Like who do I think I am? Uhm...I'm a Savage Woman and this is what we do. And...I hear what you're saying, but I also see what you're doing and The Savage Women always say that we can detect your true heart's desire because it will be in direct alignment with your words and actions. So guess what? I don't care if you say that you love yourself if for example you keep complaining that you want to lose weight, but you don't take the necessary steps to move in the direction of your desire, then it brings your self-worth into question. And if you have physical symptoms that indicate something's just not right anywhere in your lovely body and you bypass a visit to your doctor because you're "too busy"...you might want to re-evaluate that self-esteem and self-worth.

Now, I don't blame you dear...we have all become a product of our society which isn't exactly cheering the ladies on to take a moment to breathe never mind care for our bodies, minds and souls without wearing the label "high maintenance" or "spoiled". So basically I need to wait until I need an EMT and hospitalization before my self-care is considered important? C'mon really, right? I mean is that sick or what?

Can you imagine that we may actually spend more time and money identifying and securing the perfect handbags and shoes than ensuring perfect health? Now baby, I love a beautiful handbag like the next girl, but it completely defies logic that women will say they cannot afford alternative health treatments and go out the next day and blow her pesos on something not quite as significant as her health. Let's not even talk about how low-self esteem impacts our health as we suffer from hyptertension/high blood pressure, depression, anxiety and autoimmune diseases which studies have shown often surface during extremely stressful times in our lives like oh, jacked up relationships or horrendous work environments where we feel oppressed, undervalued and generally forced into silent submission. All of this impacts our self-esteem, slowly breaking us down to the point of mental, physical, spiritual and emotional exhaustion. So no wonder we don't have energy to go to the freakin' gym!!!

So lovelies, this week, the Savage Women are all about identifying how low self-esteem runs amok in our lives how we can wage war and slay that beast once and for all! Even if you lost it some years back on the bumpy road of life, we're gonna find it and take it back!!! So keep coming back...this ought to get really interesting :)
