You know the feeling \u2013 you\u2019re feeling good about yourself for a brief moment, and then boom. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Straight back down to Earth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t have to be that way.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we\u2019re going to talk about Rebeca\u2019s story of low self-esteem, high stress, and the journey she took to become the happy, fulfilled person she is today.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s get into it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was a confident kid, always first to suggest play-dates, always happy to be out with my friends, always the life of the party, let\u2019s say.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s funny how quickly things can change. By her teens, Rebecca started to struggle with her self-esteem in a big way.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt felt like the rug had been pulled out from under my feet. I suddenly had no confidence, no control, and it was as if the world had conspired against me. I struggled with my weight, I had bad acne, and all my friends seemed to mature much faster than I did.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Gentle storm<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As time passed, Rebecca, 41, struggled more and more with her self-image. We\u2019re sure you know this feeling. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You feel that no matter what you do, however much you try, things never click the way they should. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The saddest part?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca felt this way for <\/span>years<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t until she hit the big 4 0 that she realized how left-out she\u2019d been. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started looking around me and seeing confidence everywhere. My kids were so outgoing and confident \u2013 I began to worry that hey, that was me at their age, what if they end up losing their confidence too?\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She knew she needed to make a change to set a good example for her kids and make that change <\/span>fast<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Every picture tells a story<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t it? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The turning point, as these things often are, was a moment of reflection. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a birthday party, she posed for a picture with her friends, and when she saw the result \u2013 she was floored. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being the youngest of the group, she saw herself as old, worn, tired, and unhappy. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It shows the effect that low self-esteem can have on a person.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI looked at myself and didn\u2019t see me. I saw a tired, sad woman \u2013 it made me realize that somewhere along the line, my joy had disappeared. I knew I needed to do something, but what?\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue was this \u2013 Rebecca isn\u2019t made of money, just like most of us. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therapy quotes were through the roof, and she simply couldn\u2019t afford them \u2013 no matter how important.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>First things first<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After searching the internet for people like her, Rebecca found a forum for women discussing their low self-esteem.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a strange feeling \u2013 discovering that others felt the same way. On the one hand, I felt sorry for these women, that they had so many issues \u2013 but on the other, I was glad; this could become a support network for me.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a few weeks, Rebecca stumbled across a thread about the best ways to improve self-esteem from the comfort of her own home. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was hooked.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s where I came across Sensa.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI saw great recommendations from other users, so I figured I had nothing to lose since the price was so low \u2013 and I was so right.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After less than a month, Rebecca was feeling like a different person.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was complemented by colleagues, friends, and family members about the way she carried herself. Nothing physically had changed, but the aura around her certainly had.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was an odd process \u2013 I didn\u2019t really feel it happening, but soon enough, I started to accept myself for how I was, accept the things in life I wasn\u2019t happy about before, and enjoy the little things. That made all the difference.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Flying dream<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca went from feeling uncomfortable in her skin to being confident, assured, and goal-getting in a couple of months \u2013 that\u2019s why she asked us to share her story.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you relate to anything she talked about? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way she feels now?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
