Unplug.
Unplug from society's expectations of you. Unplug from the need for external validation. Unplug from messages that you need to be rail thin, younger, smarter, more beautiful, rich, and clothed in expensive designer-wear to be worthwhile.

We are constantly bombarded with messages that we are not good enough on a daily basis. Really! It's everywhere. It permeates our advertising, and often our interactions with each other. And each and every year, new maladies are created or "discovered" as Madison Avenue tries to sell us more "stuff."

Consider: What on earth did we do before Crest Whitestrips? Well, actually, we put up with brown teeth. Have you ever watched an episode of Bewitched? Elizabeth Montgomery had exceptionally brown teeth by today's standards, yet back then she was considered to be an example of a beautiful woman and "perfect" housewife.

The Feel Good Girl recommends the following six-part formula for creating a healthy, happy life:

Unplug.
Unplug from society's expectations of you. Unplug from the need for external validation. Unplug from messages that you need to be rail thin, younger, smarter, more beautiful, rich, and clothed in expensive designer-wear to be worthwhile.

Relax.
Relax not only means taking time out for some R&R, but also to relax about everything! Is the thing you are stressing out going to mean the end of the world and life as we know it? If not, learn to chill out about it.
