7 Ways a Woman is her Own Enemy
There are enough reasons to blame the society and the media for the way women are treated or looked at these days. However, there are also a number of ways in which as a woman, you can be your own worst enemy. We tell you how.
1. Lacking self-worth
As a woman you may have negative feelings about your looks, your capabilities, your success, and other attributes. This lack of self-esteem is very dangerous and has the capacity to ruin your life. You must remember that for others to respect you, you need to first respect yourself and if you have a lack of self-worth, then you are laying a foundation for an unhappy life.
2. Not being health-conscious
While fitting into various roles like that of a mother, daughter, girlfriend, wife, and sister, women often tend to ignore their overall health and well-being. You need to understand that you cannot give what you do not have. So, if you are mentally and physically unhealthy, then you cannot comfort others and you will not be able to successfully handle your relationships with others.
3. Always aiming for perfection
Some women have this tendency to constantly strive for perfection in all aspects of their lives. To some extent, this is a healthy habit but you may end up being too hard on yourself. Additionally, you may start expecting perfection from those around you as well. This is bound to make you irritable and dissatisfied in life. Know that no one can be perfect and learn to have realistic expectations from yourself and others.
4. Trying to be a superwoman
You cannot do all the things on your own. You cannot be the perfect wife, the ideal mother, and successful working professional all on your own. Be open to asking and taking help from those who care for you. It is extremely important to be aware of your own limitations and seek assistance if and when needed.
