Improving your self esteem and confidence can be done, no matter what state it’s currently in. You might feel like you have no confidence at all, but you can slowly find ways to built it up until you’re more confident than you ever imagined you could be! These tips will help you:

Stop Comparing Yourself To Others

Comparing yourself to others is one of the worst things you can do if you have low self esteem and confidence. You’re not trying to be anybody else. You should only ever be the best version of yourself. Reading magazines and admiring people on Instagram is OK, but you should never feel bad that you’re not them. They don’t take away from your individual beauty just because they have nice hair, legs, or whatever. So stop comparing yourself right now! Be happy to be you! And also feel happy that somebody has more than likely looked at you before and wished they looked like you or had something you had.

Make A List Of Things You Like About Yourself

Make a list of things you like about yourself. I don’t care what you say, there has to be something. I want you to put even the smallest things on your list. Do you have nice nails? A pretty smile? Hair in good condition? A great sense of humour? Write every single thing down and add to the list as often as you think of something. You can read through this list when you’re feeling low and remember all of the great things about you.

Write Down Compliments

When somebody gives you a compliment, you probably brush it off. But you should know, when somebody gives a compliment, they usually mean it! If you love a compliment, write it down so you remember it. People remember the negatives people say about them more than the positives for some reason. Forget those and start remembering the great things!

Stop Zoning In On ‘Flaws’

When looking in the mirror, it’s too easy to zone in on flaws. Stop and see yourself as a whole instead. Nobody else focuses on the things you don’t like!

See A Professional

If you feel like your issues are deep rooted and it’s going to be tough to shift them alone, see a professional. If you see a therapist, they’ll be able to talk to you about your issues, work out where they came from and help you to work through them. You could even consider visiting a surgeon if you can pinpoint one specific area that knocks your confidence. Perimeter plastic surgery has reviews and before/after pictures so you know what to expect.  

Learn How To Love Yourself

Learning how to love yourself is an ongoing process. It doesn’t mean being big headed or all ‘me me me’. It just means being comfortable in your own skin.

Fake It Until You Make It

Faking that you’re confident and happy with yourself until you actually are can really work. Think confident thoughts, act like a confident person and you’ll soon notice the difference.
