Read MoreSELF CONFIDENCE HACKS
In the words of Iris from ‘The Holiday’…
“You’re supposed to be the leading lady of your own life for God’s sake!”
We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. So do you struggle with self-confidence? Do you find yourself not taking opportunities or not joining in for fear of failure or standing out for the wrong reasons?
We’ve put together some hacks to help boost your self-confidence and self-esteem and give you that little helping hand to get out there and start making the most of what comes your way…
#1 Wear what makes you feel good
If it makes you feel good, WEAR IT. If it doesn’t make you feel good, DON’T WEAR IT! It’s that simple. Don’t ever wear something just to fit in. If you don’t feel comfortable in short skirts or crop tops, then don’t wear them just because your friends are! It’s impossible to feel confident in an outfit you hate. Find your own style that you feel good in.
#2 Remember NOBODY is perfect
(Despite what you see on Insta and TIK TOK)
Be the best version of yourself, don’t worry about what anyone else is doing. Accept that perfection is an unrealistic goal, do you really think that the lives you see on social media are that perfect? Trust us they are not, it’s just an illusion.
#3 Be nice to yourself
Get rid of that negative voice. Would you tell your best friend they were a failure, embarrassing or rubbish at something? No you wouldn’t, so why the hell do you think it’s ok to do it to yourself?
#4 Surround yourself with a supportive squad
#5 Leave Yourself Love Notes
Yeah, we know this sounds cringe, but a bit of self love goes a long way. Leave yourself a little note of encouragement or a ‘well done” message. Putting up post-it notes on mirrors, or on your phone screensaver can really really help. Think of something you would say to your Best Friend if she was having a bad day. ‘You look great today’, ‘You nailed that reading in class’…These will lift your mood and being told consistently that you are ace will give you confidence.
#6 You do you
#7 Remember that everyone makes mistakes
#8 Get movin’
#9 And don’t forget….Walk like you are the leading character
Walking with confidence will inevitably give you confidence. YOUR life is YOUR story. Walk like you are the star of your own movie. Take up the space that belongs to you, don’t make yourself small. We guarantee that if you are humming your own theme tune as you walk into a room it’s impossible to not feel confident!
