<p>She woke up at 10:00 am, rubbed the sleep from her eyes, and gazed into the mirror. But as she looked at her reflection, she couldn't shake off the feeling of inadequacy. Despite her usual confidence and self-love, today was different. The mirror seemed to magnify all her flaws, and she didn't feel pretty.</p><p><br></p><p>She tried to shake off the negative thoughts, attributing them to a lack of sleep or a bad mood. But as she got dressed and stood in front of the mirror again, the feeling persisted. She still didn't feel pretty.</p><p><br></p><p>As she stood there, frozen in self-doubt, a realization hit her. Everyone has their 10 am moments. Those moments when the mirror reflects not just our physical appearance but also our inner doubts and fears.</p><p><br></p><p>We all have days when we feel like we're not good enough, smart enough, or pretty enough. We compare ourselves to others, and our insecurities creep in. But the truth is, everyone struggles with these feelings, regardless of how confident or put-together they may seem.</p><p><br></p><p>The key is to acknowledge and accept these moments, rather than letting them define us. By recognizing that everyone has their 10 am moments, we can begin to break down the facade of perfection and build a more realistic understanding of ourselves and others.</p><p><br></p><p>So, the next time you wake up feeling like you're not good enough, remember that everyone has their 10 am moments. </p><p><br></p><p>And when you're feeling like you're the only one struggling, look around everyone has their own 10 am moments, hidden behind closed doors, filtered social media posts, and confident smiles. You're not alone, and that's a beautiful thing.</p><p><br></p><p>Take a deep breath, put on your favorite outfit, and remind yourself that you're more than enough.</p><p><br></p><p>~MXO</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
