Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can be devastating; it robs many of their femininity and their sense of self-worth.
I personally found feeling masculine was one of the most complex parts of this horrible problem. When I was struggling with this syndrome, I couldn’t imagine being ‘liked’ romantically. “Fat, ugly, hairy, spotty, infertile…” That pretty much summed up how I felt about myself.
I wore trackies to hide the fat – at the time, I did believe they did. My hair was long, with no fringe and no structure. I thought that this look would help me go through life unnoticed. Now I look back, I really do see how this was part of the problem… How can you expect to find love if you don’t love yourself? If you hide yourself away from being discovered by someone?
It’s been quite a journey! I look back on those many years and believe that this was part of my training to help others, perhaps you?
Today, I want to discuss your self-worth. To start you on a process of discovery. To guide you toward the path of happiness your life is destined to be on (even if it isn’t quite yet). You deserve to be content, happy, and loved. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise, including that voice inside your head.
I watched a lecture by Prof. Martin Seligman, a renowned psychology researcher, and the following is his ‘baby’. I discovered a guru and his website, which offers many valuable resources. It’s www.AuthenticHappiness.org. Go and complete the ‘VIA Survey of Character Strengths’.
For the next 21 days, I want you to focus on your strengths. Enjoy them. Too often in life, we are convinced we are only as good as our biggest ‘flaw’. It’s time to turn this on its head!
Your other homework?
Pick your favourite, happiest song. EVERY morning for the next 21 days, play it!
Don’t skip even a single day. Notice how it makes you feel. The start of your day determines how your day will unfold by impacting the way you perceive the events that are about to occur. Then, to finish the day, write down 3 things that went well over the day. Describe why it went well.
So, hop to it. Make the next three weeks a happier three weeks, no matter where you feel you are in life right now.
