Self-esteem and The Superyacht Stewardess
Imagine what it is like to be constantly on display and how does that affect your self-esteem? Not many people may know this, or really give it any thought, but low self-esteem affects many super yacht stewardesses.
Perception is everything! And the super yacht stewardess is the ultimate hostess; After all, she has made a living out of making other people feel good about themselves.
Sure… the life of a superyacht stewardess may seem glamorous and fun, but like everything in life, there is also a darker side.
Keeping super busy, whilst travelling the world, can keep some of the negative thoughts at bay; however over time and with the pressures of the job, excess money, and unrealistic lifestyle choices, many stewardesses may feel lonely, and isolated; Some stewardesses even suffer from drug or alcohol dependency with others suffering from associated personality and eating disorders.
The suffering is usually always done in silence so that the perfect hostess exterior is kept in tact……and the perfect smile is her mask that she wears daily to hide what she is truly feeling.
So What is self-esteem?
Self Esteem is how we perceive ourselves or how we look at ourselves.
When you look at your self ask; your self these basic questions to test your self-esteem
- What do you see?
- Who do you see?
- How do you feel, are you ‘OK’ with who you are?
Have you heard of or seen similar words like “self-image,” “self-perception,” and “self-concept.” All these terms refer to the way we view and think about ourselves and can affect our self-esteem in both a positive and negative way.
Have you ever been dissatisfied or unhappy with yourself?
Do you ever think that you are:
- Weak,
- Stupid,
- Not good enough,
- Flawed in some way
- Inferior to other people
- Useless
- Worthless
- Unattractive
- Ugly
- A loser, or a failure?
Everyone uses these words on themselves at times, usually when they experience a challenging or stressful situation. However, if you continually think of yourself in these terms, then you could be suffering from low self-esteem.
As human beings, we have the ability to be aware of ourselves and to place a value or a measure of worth to ourselves.
So, self-esteem usually refers to how we view and think about ourselves and the value that we place on ourselves as a person. Having the human capacity to judge and place value to something is where we might run into problems with self-esteem.
