5 Steps To Becoming More Self-Confident

This post is going to be dedicated to those times you need a kick up the butt on them days you let them silly judgmental comments people make about your life, the decisions you make and what you enjoy to do. Or it could be dedicated to them days you are doubting your abilities and feeling bad about yourself. I wanted to write a list post of some tips down that help me feel brand new again and what helps me believe in myself. Hopefully this post will help brighten up your mood and give you a major boost of self confidence. 

1. Pamper Yourself - Giving your body some TLC is such a great way to help you feel good about yourself. So pick one or two days a week where that day is for you and only you. Take some time out to relax, run yourself a bubble bath and add a bath bomb, bath fizz or bath salts whatever you desire. Light some candles or incense and place them around your bath to set the relaxing mood. To help pass the time, Read a book if you want to. Watch an episode of the latest Netflix Programme you're watching if you want to. Or you could just sit and lie back and close your eyes for an hour. When I'm out of the bath I like to moisturise myself and paint my nails and sometimes sit there with a face mask on. Do whatever helps you feel most relaxed.

2. Talk To Someone New - This may be stepping out of your comfort zone but honestly it's good to do that once in a while. If you've had this fear of doing something for so long and then you finally do it, you will feel proud of yourself.  If you speak to someone new you never know they may end up becoming really close to you and before you know it you have a life long friend. It's so important to surround yourself with people that bring out the best in you. Referring back to a quote in a previous post "Be the kind of person  you would like to meet".

3. Don't Listen To Judgmental Comments - You can't keep living your life caring about what others think and what they say about you. You really shouldn't listen to them people that think they know more about your life than you do. The day you stop caring and listening to other people is the day you will become 10x happier and more confident. If you want to spend your entire wage on makeup you seriously don't need then you go ahead and do it. If you have a hobby that you really enjoy then you continue to do it. And if you want to dress in clashing colours or patterns or wear revealing clothes then you go ahead and do it. If it makes you feel confident about yourself then never let anyone tell you otherwise. 

4. Be Your Own Cheerleader - We spend all this time sitting around waiting for people to notice us and our hard work and sometimes it just doesn't happen. So be kind to  yourself, don't get disheartened if people aren't praising you and throwing compliments your way.All you have to do is compliment yourself and give yourself praise. Go on tell yourself how amazing and beautiful you are, compliment your best feature. Tell yourself how hard you've worked to be where you are now. You should be proud. "Be Kind To Yourself, You're Doing Your Best". 

5. Accept Failure And Take Risks - Failure is inevitable, it's always going to happen, it's apart of life. I look at failure as a positive thing, we can learn from our mistakes and it makes you stronger as a person. You have to remember that everyone fails throughout their life, getting back up and trying again is the only thing that matters but it also helps build confidence. Going back to when I mentioned going out of your comfort zone, If an amazing opportunity comes about but you're not sure if you'd be able to do it or you don't want to leave someone or do it on your own, for your own sake just say - Yes. Take the risk.
