Secret. I struggle with confidence. It doesn't matter that I have a successful career, beautiful family, nice car or home. It doesn't matter. I still struggle. I constantly critique my body, my face, my decision and intelligence.
I wish I could be thinner, smarter, and more decisive. As I get older, I try to actively coach myself to be more active in self love.
When I became a mother, displaying confidence and loving myself became even more important to me. I didn't want my son to see me not believing in myself... because I always want him to believe in himself.
Here are a couple tips I use to reinforce my confidence.
1. Nerd out and buy a Journal: I bought a journal. I did. And every day I write at least one thing I love about myself, or one wonderful thing that I did, or great decision I made. Sure,I can also use it to write down the things I hope for, the things that worry me and everything I care about. But, it's key to include one thing I really just like about me.
2. Practice Yoga or Meditation: The act of clearing your mind can actually help you see more clearly. Precisely see yourself more clearly.
3. Take (or have someone take) photo's of yourself: Selfies, posed pictures, professional or amateur... doesn't matter. Just document you. When you are 90 and all of you great grand "children/nieces/nephews" want to see pictures of you, you will have something lovely to share. Who cares if your hair, makeup or clothes aren't perfect. They will just want to see you.
