Simple Things To Do To Be More Confident

Like many others, I try to act more confident than I really am. I post pictures on social media portraying a girl who has little fear of what people will think. Although for the most part I don't mind what people think about the pictures I post, I do mind about what they think of me. That's normal of course but sometimes we worry too much and it makes us self-conscious, or shall I say it makes me self-conscious. So I will let you in on a few little things I try to do to ignore the voice in the back of my mind that tries to take me down.

• Focus on improving yourself and who you want to be.

• Stop comparing yourself to others.

• Set small goals everyday of things you want to achieve and record them.

• Smile to strangers, hold doors. Being kind to others always makes me start feeling like I'm being a better version of me which boosts my confidence.

• Simply say "no thank you" when you don't feel like doing it. Don't force yourself to do things you don't want to do or don't feel comfortable doing.. on that note though

• Try new things. Trying something new and enjoying it or knowing you at least tried is something that will easily make you feel more confident in what you can do.

• Stand tall and sit up straight.

• Treat yourself when you feel you deserve to be treated!

This is just a list of small things that you can do yourself to feel more confident. I try to not let myself get in the way of my confidence! People will always be there to remind you that you aren't perfect, that doesn't mean that we have to join them. We should always believe in and boost ourselves up!

"Confidence is not 'Will they like me?' Confidence is 'I'll be fine if they don't'." -Christina Grimmie
