Many women wake up every day, look in the mirror and struggle with topics such as body image and self-confidence -- topics that women should not worry about, yet somehow are conditioned to do so. Everyone has these thoughts from time to time, but for some, these negative thoughts occur every day. Women should never feel less important or like they can’t do anything, yet these tend to be common thoughts. Sometimes, it is the simplest and smallest acts and words of encouragement that can make a huge difference. From time to time, every woman, regardless of her physical appearance, intellect or self-worth must be reminded of her importance and the power that she holds simply by being a woman.
