How do you see yourself in the mirror when you look into it?
Honestly, I think I am beautiful. Yeah, I may not be perfect, but I'm not trying to be. I am confident in who I am and whether I do my hair, put on make up, or even put on a bra, I'm still beautiful in my own way. When I look into the mirror I see myself exactly how I am and I cherish each every "flaw" or imperfection, because it is what makes me unique and beautiful.
Why do you think the bar is set so incredibly high for women?
Everyone already nailed this one on the head, the media.
And can women really live up to this? (some women seem too and they seem so successful)
No one can live up to the standard the media set without sacrificing a part of themselves. When you put so much into your outer appearance, you lose a part of your inner beauty, that part that shines through and makes a normal, average looking girl, goregous.
Is anyone here actually living up to this image of the in control and perfectly styled professional women? (i'd like to know how! )
Probably not, but then again at work I am more concerned with my patients then how I look.
How many of you are generally happy with the way you are present yourself phsyically, professionally?
I am happy with the way I present myself in all aspects of my life, physically. I don't go to work with a ton of make up on or high heel shoes. I go to work in proper attire (usually khakis and a sweater) and the only time I wear make up is when I want to. I do get compliments about how I look nice with make up on, but I don't let it affect me. Of course wearing make up is going to make most women look better in the eyes of some. I think I look good with make up on, so hearing a compliment about it makes sense to me. That doesn't throw up a red flag that I should wear make up every day. I honestly don't care what the people at work think about how I look. As long as I look professional and I do my job professionally I don't really care.
