Self Acceptance and Confidence are Great!

For many women, self acceptance and confidence come with age. A study by Post Great Grains Cereal revealed that 80% of women love themselves more than they did 10 years ago.

This post brought to you by Post Great Grains Cereal. All opinions are 100% mine.

I was a bit of an awkward kid and grew up with rather low self esteem. My insecurities followed me into the adult years and lent to some poor decisions regarding relationships. Finally, when I hit my thirties things started to look up for me as I gained my independence and started to feel good about some of my professional successes.

I’m finding that as I get older I feel better and more comfortable in my own skin. Self acceptance is a beautiful thing.  I’ve learned to accept who I am, faults and all and have gained so much confidence. I don’t take myself so seriously anymore which has allowed me to take more chances and risks. I think being able to laugh at yourself is so  important, also recognizing that there are some positives to be found through failure.

It seems that I am not alone. Wakefield Research conducted a survey for Post Great Grains Cereal and found that a whopping 80% of women love themselves more than they did 10 years ago. Also, 86% of the women polled agreed that mistakes that led to failure were worth the learning experience.

Motherhood, bad relationships, surviving a serious illness and making an abrupt career change are all things that have helped me to gain more confidence. I am no longer afraid of change and instead embrace it.

I love learning new things. At one time I had to rely on my teenage son to put a movie in the DVD player for me, because I didn’t know how to operate it myself. Fastforward a few years and I am a rather tech savvy gal, working with some major tech companies. I feel really great about this accomplishment.

I know that my life experiences, accomplishments and failures have all made me a better person, a better Mom, a better friend, and someone with great compassion and empathy. I think that’s pretty great!

Post Great Grains is great, bringing whole foods from the field to your bowl for a nutritious breakfast! Post Great Grains Cereal has nutrition you can see. It’s cereal that shows the ingredients you put inside can help you feel and look great on the outside

I have had a chance to try several different varieties of Post Great Grains Cereal. While they are all delicious, I’ve narrowed it down to my two favorites. Choosing just one is impossible. The NEW Digestive Blend Vanilla and Graham not only tastes great, but has me feeling great. These days I am having to eat a lot more foods that aid with digestion. In the bowl, is my other fave – Great Grains Cranberry Almond Crunch. I just love the crunchy clusters, mixed in with the almonds and cranberries. I’ve even eaten this one for dessert!

I would love to hear “What Makes You Great?”

  • A lot of women suffer with self acceptance and confidence problems. Me included. It’s hard not to be able to fulfill all the expectations. But it’s important to remember that you don’t need to.

  • My goodness, my childhood and teenage years were the worst! Like you, I was deemed as the awkward kid. I also had low self-esteem, which didn’t help matters. I think as I got older, caring less about how others perceived me came naturally. After I adapted this new attitude, I quickly realized that more and more people will overlook your “flaws” and admire your admirable qualities (personality, sense of style, unwavering confidence, etc). Sometimes, we’re our own worst critic.

  • I’m great because.. I was born that way! haha, no I try my best to be the greatest mom to my wonderful kids and being a great friend to those I care about.

  • I agree that people generally love themselves more as they get older. For me, it was getting away from my mom. She is my biggest critic and is always putting me down about something, so even at 30 I struggle to feel like I have value in the world. It has taken being away from her (she tried to tell my ex-husband that I couldn’t survive outside the small town we grew up in and to send me back home when he got stationed on the other side of the country) and being on my own (divorced and without enough money to move somewhere else) to realize that I can make it on my own and that I’m completely capable. It takes time to get past the damage our parents do (some, not all), so it makes sense that people view themselves better now than 10 year prior.

  • There’s a really good selection of Great Grains in the range. Looks like something for everyone.

    I think I’m great at being a lot more relaxed about bringing up our son than I thought I might be, given I’m usually really impatient.

  • Love your post’s message!! Now I know that Great Grains is a cereal that I need to keep my eyes out for because it has some flavors that I’d love to try too. That’s a good picture of you by the way.
