Building your self-confidence doesn’t need to cost an arm and a leg. All it needs, as the word suggests, is well, yourSELF! Here are a few ways you can build up your confidence level, improve your mood, and put some pep in your step:
Fake it Until You Make it
One of the easiest ways to boost your confidence is to fake it. Even if you’re having a bad day, slap on a smile, throw on your favourite outfit, and get ready to turn some heads. By smiling and wearing clothing that increases your self-confidence, you’ll feel better about yourself and more in control of your life.
Do a Good Deed
Whether it’s holding the door open for someone or offering your seat on the train to a senior citizen, doing a good deed will make you feel better about yourself and your surroundings.
Challenge Yourself
Try something new, and don’t be afraid of taking a risk. Challenging yourself to do something you wouldn’t normally think of doing, and then actually doing it, will give your self-confidence a huge boost.
Do Something You Love
It’s important to do something you love to do and feel good doing. By doing something you’re good at and that makes you happy, especially when you’re not feeling one hundred percent, you’ll feel more competent, accomplished and capable of tackling anything that comes your way.
Celebrate Your Achievements
When you’re feeling down and out, make a list of all of the things you’ve done that make you proud, and then go over them whenever you need a quick pick-me-up. It will make you remember all your greatest accomplishments, and celebrate the amazing woman you are.
