- Understand that there is billions of dollars in advertising aimed at you *to get you* to believe certain things that the marketing industry is selling: Here I state the opposite of those commercials.
- You do NOT need expensive shampoo to get clean hair.
- You do NOT need an expensive hair color to feel “worth it”.
- You do NOT need to buy $231.00 of make up to “feel pretty”.
- You do NOT need to wear size 2 in order to be sexy, or pretty.
- You are being virtually bombarded with untrue images of women on a minute-by-minute basis.
- Use this information to gain what you want, not to be what “they” want.
- Do not believe that your life is about sex and sexuality: it is not. Sex is an important part of life, yet it is only a part.
- What you look like and who you are is separate, it is not the same.
Listen, listen to your body. Again, the advertising industry wants you to believe that you need, or you must purchase something in order to have good health or perfect digestion. Your body will tell you what you need. Read research on appropriate self care, and then listen to your body. Your body will tell you what kind of vitamins you need and when. I did in-depth research about why I was craving chocolate before my menstrual cycle. I found out that I was missing a crucial dose of magnesium. I began taking magnesium for a week each month and I was able to get chocolate cravings under control.
Listen, listen to your intuition. Your own intuition will never steer you wrong. You know when you are making a mistake, when that voice in the back of your head starts screaming “Stop!”, listen to the voice, it is your own voice, it never steers you wrong.
Be proud of who you are. I was 13 years old when I became aware of ‘Jordache’ jeans. I remember thinking “I don’t want someone else’s name on my behind.” There is no designer who is as good about your looks as you are and you can be proud of that.
This is letter number one, there is more, so much more to being a woman.
