INTRODUCTION

Self-esteem is one of the most essential characteristics that a woman should have in their(her) life. However, life has a way of causing women worldwide to think less of themselves, feel unworthy, or simply hide in isolation away from the world to avoid trying to fit in anywhere. The way a woman looks, feels, or thinks about herself after going through abuse of any form can affect her self-esteem as well. 

Unfortunately, many people believe that low self-esteem is only something that women who are overweight, single, or living in poverty battle, and this is so far from the truth. Women of all ages, sizes, colors, ethnic backgrounds, and financial statuses suffer from low self-esteem. Women who are married, single, unemployed, entrepreneurs, catching the bus, and driving a(insert) Mercedes Benz can all suffer from low self-esteem as well.

I am a witness that low self-esteem does not discriminate and will creep into any woman’s life without permission. I remember feeling worthless and as if I didn’t fit in anywhere with anyone. I felt low about myself due to life experiences, toxic relationships, and generational cycles that I was not equipped at the time to break free from.

I held my head down due to shame and feeling defeated, and although I was amongst many crowds, I was never a part of them. I actually used them to hide from everything else I needed to face, including myself. The dead weight that I was carrying had an assignment to kill me before I reached my destiny, but God had other plans for my life, and He has plans for your life as well. 

You do not have the strength or the power to carry dead weight by yourself; you have the option to drop it. This 31-day devotional will help increase your passion for living a happy, healthy, and whole life. It will strengthen, inspire, and encourage you to become the woman you were created and designed to be, which is beautiful, confident, bold, and purposeful despite your challenges.

Allow this book to minister to your heart, mind, and soul for the next 31 days, and give yourself permission to drop every weight that has hindered you from the greatness ahead of you. I believe in you; drop the dead weight and be refreshed during this 31-day journey.
