			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sexual confidence &#8211; or confidence at all, really &#8211; is a touchy subject. A lot of people believe they&#8217;re sexually confident, but inside they&#8217;re incredibly insecure, waiting for someone else validate their standing as a sexual human being. Most women know they&#8217;re insecure, but still try to hide it. How do we become <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/sex-tips-passion-desire-lust-the-real-secret-to-sexual-confidence-video/"><em>truly </em>sexually confident</a>, accepting ourselves for who we are and the sexual human being we are?</p>

<h3>Social Influences</h3>
<p>Believe it or not, society dictates <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/cofindence-with-women-sexual-top-10-ways-to-boost-david-deangelo/">how we feel about ourselves</a>. Should it be that way? No. Is it that way? Unfortunately, yes. The images in the media, in magazines and in commercials teach us what &#8220;sexy&#8221; and &#8220;beautiful&#8221; are and if we don&#8217;t look, act or talk in the way that the media depicts as &#8220;sexy&#8221; and &#8220;beautiful,&#8221; then we aren&#8217;t either. Unfortunately, society&#8217;s ideas about what sexy and beautiful are happen to be incredibly narrow. And even more unfortunately, we use this as a standard against which to judge ourselves.</p>
<h3>Acceptance From Others</h3>
<p>In addition to using society&#8217;s ideas of what sexy and beautiful are to measure ourselves, we also wait for someone else to accept us (usually our partners) before we accept and love ourselves. This is incredibly backwards, because often in a relationship, you must <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/love-relationships/relationship-advice/boost-your-self-confidence-and-become-irresistible/">love and accept yourself</a> before someone else can fully love and accept you and you can fully love and accept someone else. Looking at yourself through society&#8217;s eyes and through your partner&#8217;s eyes won&#8217;t get you far &#8211; instead, you need to look at yourself with your own eyes and find the love and beauty within.</p>
<h3>Being Sexually Confident</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;ve taken a step to love and accept yourself before expecting anyone else to love and accept you, congratulations. But it&#8217;s likely that other people in your life are still looking for <em>your </em>acceptance of them before they start loving and accepting themselves. Are you giving your partner the love and acceptance they want and need? If not, start! Talk to your partner about where you&#8217;re at in the relationship, and what you need to be in the relationship. Have <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/singles-dating/flirting-and-seduction/how-to-develop-confidence-with-women-in-4-easy-steps/">open and honest communication</a> with your partner of where you stand, so you can be loved and accepted for who you are.</p>
<p>It takes a lot to shed the human need to be validated by society, but it&#8217;s something each and every one of us must do in order to start seeing ourselves in a realistic light. Society&#8217;s ideas about what is beautiful and sexy are skewed, and we need to learn to see ourselves as sexy and beautiful for who we are &#8211; because sexy <em>is </em>who you are. Make that scary jump right now and decide that you&#8217;re not going to be worried about whether society says you&#8217;re too fat or too thin, not pretty enough or not sexy enough. Accept yourself for who you are and learn to be sexy in your own skin. Love and accept yourself before expecting anyone else to love and accept you, and you&#8217;ll feel, look and <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/love-relationships/relationship-advice/how-to-ignite-a-spark-in-your-relationship-with-confidence/">be sexually confident</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What if I told you there is one diet to trump all diets &#8211; one that affects your emotional health, and not your waistline? One that will make you feel better without telling you what to eat or how to eat it &#8211; would you think it was too good to be true?</p>
<p>The diet I&#8217;m talking about isn&#8217;t one that&#8217;s related to food or exercise at all, but it will help <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/love-relationships/relationship-advice/great-relationships-begin-within/">build your self-esteem</a> and miraculously make you feel better about who you are and what you have. Sound too good to be true? As I&#8217;ve said before, there&#8217;s no quick fix to create a healthy relationship with yourself or to cure all of your past ills, but there is a course of action you can take that will exponentially increase your self-health.</p>
<h3>Are You Being Tricked?</h3>
<p>Let me start with a story from my past. When I was younger, my girlfriends and I would spend many a summer day with our bodies slathered in Bain de Soliel (or baby oil if we couldn’t afford that), our faces buried in Cosmo or Vogue, ogling and studying our role models; the emaciated rich. Believing what we saw was real, closing the magazines feeling imperfect and fat yet determined to figure out how to get what they had. A life other than our own. It seemed possible. Why shouldn’t we trust what we saw? It was everywhere; skinny, happy, rich people who wore designer clothes and had <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/love-relationships/relationship-advice/celebrate-your-love-every-day/">passionate relationships</a>.<br />
Little did we know – or, perhaps, did we WANT to know &#8211; there was a group of people who had concocted it all, a select group of sleazy, greedy, very clever soul-sucking vampires who day in and day out preyed on people just like us.</p>
<p>At age 14, I put two and two together, and realized that every time I turned on the TV or opened a magazine, afterwards I felt bad about myself, however subtly. The net effect was, I was being hoodwinked or lured to believe I should be, better, cooler, prettier, skinner; something other than me. Interesting how some things never change. But I can &#8211; and here was the solution I came up with.</p>
<h3>The Ultimate Cleanse:</h3>
<p>The bad news may be that the soul suckers lured you in, they sold it, you bought it and you, too, are addicted to being externally referenced. The good news is: The jig is up. Yes, it’s all a big lie. But there is a cure and it’s as simple as, 1-2-3.</p>
<ol>
<li>Turn off your idiot box (TV)</li>
<li>Don’t buy any more rags (trash or fashion magazines)</li>
<li>Stop paying attention to what other people are doing and focus on yourself!</li>
</ol>
<p>Being internally referenced is the foundation for all my work. That, and a solid relationship with spirit and your inner divine guidance, and you are all set. You already have everything you need; you have been give the greatest gift of all and it’s staring you right in the face. YOU. Jim Rohn, a well-known motivational speaker, once gave me this advice: “Stop building someone else&#8217;s dream!” And I say to you, turn off the TV and shut out the media vultures. Stop taking the bait! Build your own dreams. I promise, you will be glad you did! Your own life is precious and very real. And you are indeed PERFECT as you are.</p>
<p>Try the ultimate cleanse for a month. You will feel better, be more focused, have more time, and be all that closer to turning your <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/love-relationships/relationship-advice/twenty-eight-hours-what-real-love-is-all-about/">heart’s greatest desire</a> into REALITY!</p>
