Going into the new year the one thing I want to improve in my life is my self confidence. This is something that I have struggled with all my life. I have a feeling as to why I’m like this(my mom) but that’s a story I’m not ready to share. But I am going to share how I plan on being more self confident in my abilities, skills and looks.
One: Mantras, I do believe in having a few positive mantras about your self and surroundings will have a positive impact on your confidence. Saying things like I am worthy of a good life, I am good enough and smart enough, I am capable. To me repeating these things when I feel down really helps. I also think about all the things that I have accomplished so far to remind myself that I am capable of anything. God gave me the ability to succeed. I have everything needed to do so.
Two: Adjusting my appearance and hygiene. Someone who doesn’t feel good about how they look or smell will not feel confident whatsoever. You’ll always be concerned if you stink or that your clothing is not presentable enough. Plus you do notice that people who do not present their best self, they’re always shy and reserved. If you don’t feel your best you won’t do your best. Thats why this year I’m taking the initiative to dress better, sit up straighter to help attract the kind of people I want in my life.
Three: Being positive. Honestly its all about your vibe, always seeing the good in situations. Saying what can I learn from this, instead of why me or shutting down emotionally. I used to be that person who wondered why me. Why no one wants to be around me or why do certain things always happen around me. In terms of friendships, when others see that you always see the good in a situation, they would gravitate towards you more because somethings all they need is to see something in a different light.
So, these are some things that I would be incorporating into my day to day life this year, in the hopes I will be able to increase my self confidence. What are some things you like to do to help boost your confidence. And what is the main resolution you would like to focus on this year if you have any.
Happy New Year!!!
