Todays focus is building self confidence and working through our insecurities. Self confidence is one of those things that can come and go. You can be absolutely confident one day and the next slightly doubt yourself. well that ends today. I've noticed a lot of times our confidence and insecurities go hand and hand. For me I use to be very self conscious about my teeth I always smiled but there was still a feeling of confidence I didn't have. Then I got braces and that all changed lol so I've seen it first hand how something so small can have an impact on our confidence. I have a few suggestions and tips to build our self confidence and work through our insecurities.
Noticed I said work through our insecurities because often times our insecurities our things we cant change we just have to learn to love them and work through them.
+REMIND YOURSELF YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH
A constant reminder to yourself should be you are good enough and you deserve the world. Don't allow negative thoughts float into your mind. When you allow any negatives thoughts they start over powering you and you start to believe them. so keep a constant reminder you are good enough. And when the negative thoughts creep in go workout or dance or do something that makes you happy. distract yourself by doing something positive.
+REPLACE THE WORD CAN'T WITH CAN
The word can't is always the easiest way to not do something. I can't find a job or I can't loose weight. No! You CAN. You can literally do anything that you put energy into. It may take time and dedication. But putting in work everyday you will see results. Keep pushing and use the word CAN. Tell yourself everyday I can loose weight and then make steps or strides everyday towards what you want.
+GIVE THANKS AND COMPLIMENTS TO YOURSELF
The same way we may compliment our friends and family or even when we write comments on Instagram under someone's post saying your gorgeous!, beautiful etc. That same things applies to you. Compliment yourself. When you wake of say "girl your skin is popping" or "your glowing" When we speak highly and positively of ourselves that's what we attract.
+HOW CAN YOU MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY
Make a list of things that make you happy or things you want to try and do those things. When we start reaching our accomplishments it builds that confidence in us. You want to go hang gliding DO IT! You will feel 10x much better after you've done it and you feel that sense of accomplishment.

+WORK ON YOUR INSECURITIES
As we know some insecurities are things we can't fix. They are things we must embrace and love about ourselves. If you have a gap, or freckles, or dimples or glasses. Those might be things you can fix but they might not be. Sometimes the goals is to not fix it but learn to love it. Then later on down the line you may fix it. But learning to live and love you is always the most important.
Now if you have insecurities you can fix. Fix Them! Loose the weight, get clear skin, get braces. If it is something you would like to change, do it for yourself so that you can have more confidence and be able to live a more happy and fulfilling life.
+JUST REMEMBER TO BE YOURSELF
