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 like that all of the varieties of Great Grains have at least 30g of whole grains per serving and are a heart healthy way to start the day.

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?”
I’ve never heard of Great Grains. Seems like an interesting cereal to try!
I’m thinking the vanilla would taste great too. I saw this picture on social media not long ago and it made me want to go to the beach. Same thing today here, lol. I guess we’re overdue for another beach visit before summer is through. 🙂
I think everyone needs self acceptance and confidence within themselves. I love these cereals because they don’t have to much sugar in them like other do. Pecan is my favorite. Thanks for sharing
I’m still learning to accept myself. I think I get better every day, but sometimes struggle.
Yum! The cranberry almond crunch looks delicious!! Yes, with age bring wisdom and confidence. It makes up for the other things that come with aging.
Funny know with age grows confidence. Even though we think we don’t look as good sometimes are insides are just at a better place. We’ve grown independent of what others think. Older is better, but not too old. LOL
I struggled with low self confidence when I was in high school. It was only later on in life that I have accepted and embrace who I am as a person. What makes me great? The love that I have for my family!
very true! i am never conscious with myself at all though i find my birthmark not so good but now I am 25 I felt like so free and never worry to what will people say at all
I have never heard of the cereal, both flavors sound equally scrumptious and will be on the look out on our next trip to the supermarket. Also I agree with you I believe all life experiences make you the person you are today. 🙂
Self-acceptance is a huge part of growing up. It’s amazing how much you start to appreciate the things that you considered embarrassingly quirky in the past.
