I posted awhile-while-while back a call to action regarding CONFIDENCE. We’re human and as much confidence as we may exude on a daily or weekly basis, there are always those times where we fall short and crawl into this deep hole of self-doubt, self-pity, and self-hate.
So I asked my followers… “How do you/what do you do to stay confident?” and these were the responses I got:
1. “Working out”: I agree! When I’m stressed or feeling crappy, I sometimes gym to let the negative energy go
2. “Knowing my value. Knowing that there is no one like me and everyone is unique in their own. I also listen to the song ‘Run the World’ – Beyoncé”
3. “Red lipstick”
4. “Remaining me that I’m one of a kind and that my FLAWS make me special”. Yes! Everyone’s flaws can be turned into a great stories tailored to only you!
5. “I look back at all my accomplishments and challenges I’ve overcome. They remind me of my strength and willpower that I can accomplish anything if I put my mind to it.”
6. “Knowing that I am perfectly made in God’s image”. Amen sister
7. “I have fav pictures of myself on my computer of when I was tiny in college and say to myself, “I look better than Beyoncé”. YAS QUEEN.
8. “I get a car wash and Starbucks. It’s a little refresher and makes me feel like I can conquer the rest of my day.”
9. “Meal prepping, shopping, lunch with friends, volunteering”
10. “Working hard has always made me feel confident. As long as I give it my all, I feel empowered. And when I don’t feel like it, expressing my feelings to others verbally helps.”
11. “Complimenting strangers”
12. “Keeping a positive mindset and surrounding myself with others that uplift me and are happy and drama free.”
13. “A long tanning session by the pool.”
14. “Having an amazing husband.”
15. “Limiting my time on social media and refraining from comparing myself to others.”
I hope you find these helpful! Each and everyone of you are special in your own ways. It’s hard not to compare yourselves but always remember that there are so many qualities and talents that you hold that not even JLO or Beyoncé have! You’re are a queen!
