Five ways to build your self-confidence!

Let’s face it, no one is born with an enormous amount of confidence. You slowly learn to accept yourself  the way God made you. We know that accepting your flaws can sometimes be an uphill battle, but don’t worry we’re here to help boost your confidence… just a little bit!

Taking the first step in accepting yourself can be hard, but maybe these five ways can help you love yourself even more!

1. Speak Positively About Yourself!

“The more you talk about negative things in your life, the more you call them in. Speak victory, not defeat,” Joel Osteen.

Speaking positively about yourself can be a real confidence booster. Say good things about yourself, to yourself. When you are looking extra good in a dress you thought you’d never be able to pull off, give yourself a compliment because you deserve it! By saying positive things about yourself every day, you will begin to believe it.

2. Stop Comparing Yourself to Susan!

“A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it, it just blooms.”

Competition is often the cause of most fights in any relationship. One thing you need to know is that if one of your friends buys themselves a car, this does not mean that you should go out and buy yourself one too. Let the fear of ‘missing out’ and ‘keeping up’ leave your body immediately. It is not good for the soul. We are all in different chapters of our lives. Do not compete with Susan. You are not in competition with her. When you are content with yourself, whatever anyone else is doing shouldn’t bother you at all.

3. There is no such thing as perfection.

“The perfect being, huh? There is no such thing as perfect in this world. That may sound cliché, but it’s the truth. The average person admires perfection and seeks to obtain it. But, what’s the point of achieving perfection? There is none,” Tite Kubo.

We often tell ourselves to be perfect, STOP! No one is perfect. Even though Beyonce might seem as if she is flawless, she, too, has things that she would like to work on or change. It is good to strive to be your best in what you are doing, but remember perfection is not the goal.

4. Love Your Flaws!

If you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you going to love somebody else?” Ru Paul.

The word flaw means imperfection. We all have our flaws. We all want to have that perfect body. That perfect hair. But lets face it, we have to accept ourselves as we are. Once you accept yourself, loving yourself will be easy. When you love your flaws and accept your freckles and your curly hair, life will be a walk in the park.

5.  Celebrate Yourself!

When nobody else celebrates you, celebrate yourself,” Joel Osteen. 

You’re so used to celebrating everyone around you that you forget to celebrate the most important person… YOU! Celebrate your achievements, no matter how big or small they might be. Fitting into those pair of jeans that couldn’t make it past your thighs a week ago is worth celebrating. Celebrating yourself will help boost your confidence.  Because if you don’t celebrate yourself, who else is going to?
