We share the thigh-chafing, the wobbles, the dimples with girlfriends and rebuff all comments to the contrary from our partners so that, sadly, this becomes a habit.
The experts in defeating negative self-talk have a simple rule. ‘Don’t say anything to yourself that you wouldn’t say to someone else’. So when I present you with this week’s challenge, which is ‘Embrace thy legs and get thee a pair of shorts, pronto’, let’s not declare this a national emergency. Instead, let’s just say: “Deadman – I’m in!”
If I can display my stumpy pins to the world, then you sure as hell can. We’ve been through all sorts of calamities over the past two years, so the leg reveal is simply a testament to that most attractive of qualities in women… confidence.
