INNER BEAUTY
By now we all know that self-confidence is highly linked to success. Here are five essentials to free you from self-doubt.
1 SELF-CONFIDENCE IS SELF-LOVE
The first step in gaining it back (if you lost it) is to spend more time appreciating who you are. Self-love is nothing else but appreciating and honouring yourself, giving love back to the world.
2 LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD
The clothes you wear and how you feel in your own skin can make or break your self-confidence. Go through your closet and keep only the items that make you feel like a million bucks.
3 COMMIT YOUR GOALS TO PAPER
Accomplishing a goal can dramatically boost one's self-worth. But you can't reach a goal without identifying it first. Write down at least a couple of goals that you want to accomplish by the end of the week.
4 TAKE RISKS
Approach each occasion as an opportunity to learn. Self-confidence means accepting the occasional defeat while not allowing it to deter you from your goals.
5 FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT
Act as if you are feeling one hundred percent confident, even if you´re not. The best way to deal with fear or self-doubt it to just confront it head on sometimes.
