You are responsible for your own happiness and the person you ultimately become. But too many women can\u2019t embrace this truth because a slew of painful lies gets in their way, destroying their self-worth. These 20 <em>Girl, Wash Your Face<\/em> lies, which are thrown at women by society, the media, and even their families, can be disarmed by the following ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Don\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/comparing-ourselves-to-others\/\">compare yourself to others<\/a>.<\/li><li>You are in control of your life.<\/li><li>You\u2019re better than you think.<\/li><li>Be unapologetic about your ambitions and goals.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By dissecting these 20 <em>Girl, Wash Your Face<\/em> lies, shedding light on the truth, and sharing the strategies she used to overcome them, Hollis hopes to inspire women to reach their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t Compare Yourself to Others<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the 20 <em>Girl, Wash Your Face<\/em> lies. Stop believing the lies and become who you&#8217;re supposed to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: Outside Factors Are Making Me Unhappy<\/strong>. From the outside, other people\u2019s lives can look perfect &#8212; home, children, jobs, relationships. This can make you feel like a failure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: We\u2019re all falling short. If you\u2019re unhappy, it\u2019s on you. You are responsible for your happiness, and life doesn\u2019t have to be perfect or like anyone else\u2019s for you to be happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: I\u2019ll Never Be Good Enough<\/strong>. Women are often conditioned from childhood to believe nothing they do or become will ever be good enough. This can lead to a drive for achievement that leads to self-neglect and even illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: You are loved, worthy, and good enough just as you are. It\u2019s critical to take care of yourself, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/listen-to-your-body\/\">listen to your body<\/a>, and put yourself on your own priority list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: I\u2019m Superior to You<\/strong>. Women all too often tear each other down, gossiping and talking behind each others\u2019 backs. We compete with each other out of insecurity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: This behavior hurts all of us and destroys the ability to make friendships. True friendship comes with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-keep-an-open-mind\/\">keeping an open mind<\/a>, looking for commonality instead of differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: I\u2019m Not Far Enough Along in My Career and Personal Life<\/strong>: Women often beat themselves up about all the things they haven\u2019t yet accomplished, fearing that the life they wanted has passed them by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: Goals don\u2019t have an expiration date; you can continue to strive to reach them. Not being where you thought you should be may be the best thing to happen to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: Other People\u2019s Home Lives Are Perfect:<\/strong> Many women are struggling to keep up with the demands of parenthood, home life and work. Other people\u2019s lives look calmer and more organized; this can lead to a sense that you\u2019re failing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: We <em>all<\/em> are living in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/state-of-chaos\/\">state of chaos<\/a>, no matter how things appear. When we learn to embrace and even love the chaos, we can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/stay-happy-and-positive\/\">find joy<\/a> in our daily lives, no matter how messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: Only My Way of Life Is Correct<\/strong>: We can find ourselves surrounded entirely by people who look, think, and act like we do. But when everything looks like us, we start seeing the world as \u201cus\u201d and the \u201cothers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: When we stay in our own lane, we miss out on the richness and beauty of a diverse world with amazing people of all races, religions, political affiliations, socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientations and any other category.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: I Have No Idea How to Be a New Mom<\/strong>: When you feel like you\u2019re not succeeding as a new mom caring for an infant &#8212; something women think they should innately know how to do &#8212; it\u2019s easy to feel like a failure. Other moms seem to be handling it better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: It\u2019s hard being a new mom. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/new-mother\/\">new mother<\/a> should have two goals only: take care of the baby, and take care of yourself. Nothing else &#8212; laundry, losing weight &#8212; matters.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie<\/strong>: <strong>I\u2019m a Bad School Mom<\/strong>. Being a mom during the school-age years is demanding. No matter how much you give, other moms seem to be giving more and doing better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: Comparing yourself to other moms and families is a recipe for feelings of guilt and inadequacy. There is no one best way to parent; there is no one best way to be a mother.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You Are in Control of Your Life<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: Flaking on Myself Is OK<\/strong>. Many women freely make and break promises to themselves. They talk about going to the gym, walking a mile in the morning, training for a marathon, or whatever their goal is, but then don\u2019t follow through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: When you become intentional with your promises to yourself, you set a standard for the type of person you really are and who you will practice being every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: Being Told No Means You Should Stop<\/strong>. When pursuing their dreams and coming up against a roadblock or rejection, many women give up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: Being told no doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s time to stop. It means you have to change course to make it to your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: Daydreams Are Just Daydreams<\/strong>. Women may think daydreaming about their lives and goals is useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/visualizing-your-goals\/\">Visualizing your goals<\/a> in intricate detail is actually a powerful tool on the road to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/fulfill-your-dreams\/\">achieving your dreams<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: I Will Never Get Over a Trauma<\/strong>: Many people have been through something traumatic and the idea of moving past it and thriving seems impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: Living, and even thriving, after experiencing something awful is possible if you find the good that came from the experience. When you make it through a trauma, you take back your power and know you can rely on your own strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: I Can\u2019t Be Truly Honest About What I\u2019m Going Through<\/strong>: Sometimes sharing the whole truth about a painful experience can be difficult. You feel as though hiding the truth will somehow make it less painful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: When you share you own painful truth, you show others that you are someone who keeps showing up and trying, with courage and honesty, even when things get difficult.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: Alcohol Can Help You Cope<\/strong>: Many women use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/alcohol-as-a-coping-mechanism\/\">alcohol as a coping mechanism<\/a> for the challenges of life. Drinking is an easy fix;&nbsp; just a few sips can dull the edges of anxiety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: If you mute your feelings with alcohol, you don\u2019t learn the coping skills to deal with future problems. Fighting through hard times is how you get tougher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: My Weight Is an Important Part of Who I Am<\/strong>: Many women have a difficult <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/relationship-with-food\/\">relationship with food<\/a>, weight, and body image, often turning to food as a coping mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: You don\u2019t need to be thin, but you do need to be healthy. If you truly want to love yourself, do the work to figure out what\u2019s causing your weight\/body issues in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You\u2019re Better Than You Think<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: I\u2019m Not Talented Enough<\/strong>: Sometimes women tend to hold other people\u2019s opinions ahead of their own, especially when it comes to something they are creating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: While you can\u2019t make people like or understand what you\u2019ve created, you still have to put it out there because your ability to create is a God-given gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: The Way He\u2019s Treating Me Is Fine<\/strong> <strong>&#8212; I Love Him<\/strong>. In relationships, many women become versions of themselves they don\u2019t recognize, sacrificing their self-worth for love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: People will treat you with as much or little respect as you permit. If you let them treat you badly, they&#8217;ll keep doing so. If you don\u2019t value yourself, no one else will value you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: I\u2019m Failing at My Sex Life<\/strong>: Many women feel insecure about their sexuality, going through the motions to please their partners but not fully enjoying the experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: By changing how you view sex, embracing your body and exploring what turns you on, you can conquer your insecurities and work to create a great sex life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be Unapologetic About Your Ambitions and Goals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: I Need to Diminish Myself to Make Others More Comfortable<\/strong>: Many women make themselves smaller to make others feel more comfortable. Becoming smaller means they downplay accomplishments and goals to be better liked and accepted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: You can\u2019t be big and small at the same time.<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-dream-big\/\">Big dreams<\/a> and goals require audacity and courage. When women mute themselves to make others more comfortable, they deny who they are truly meant to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lie: I Need to Be Rescued<\/strong>. Women can fall into the trap of waiting for someone else to fix their lives, or they simply exist, assuming that life will magically improve on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Truth<\/strong>: Only you have the power to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-change-your-life-in-5-simple-steps\/\">change your life<\/a>.<strong> <\/strong>Others can\u2019t make you into something without your help; you <em>can<\/em> experience the pride and joy of being your own hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Your Own Happiness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Women too often absorb these <em>Girl, Wash Your Face<\/em> lies as truth, leading to self-destructive behavior. They let others treat them badly and accept less than they deserve. They buy things they can\u2019t afford to impress others and self-medicate with alcohol, food or other distractions. They even buy their kids\u2019 love instead of parenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t have to be this way; women can change their trajectory and improve their lives.<strong> The first step toward gaining back power and strength is identifying and acknowledging these <em>Girl, Wash Your Face<\/em> lies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The journey to a new life is a long process and it won\u2019t be easy. Change doesn\u2019t happen overnight. You\u2019ll try out different tools and techniques; some will work and some won\u2019t. You\u2019ll fall short at times on your journey. <strong>But when you grasp that you are truly in control, you\u2019ll get up and keep trying until being in control feels natural.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you wondering what the 20 Girl, Wash Your Face lies are?
