Be More Confident in Yourself! Sure Ways To Improve Your Self-Confidence Today!

I meet many people who lack self-confidence.


They are amazing individuals who are functioning in society! 

They see themselves in ways that others around them do not see. They lack some self-love and self-worth at times. They especially lack being more confident in themselves.   

Isaiah 41:10  fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Here are some helpful tips to help you to improve your self confidence:

Take pride in your appearance. Dress nicer than than you normally would. 


Keep learning in life- whether it is a class of interest of just having an open and teachable mind and heart.

Be around people who are uplifting and supportive. 

Groom yourself better than you ever have.... hair, teeth, skin, etc.

Choose a habit that you would like to change or replace with a healthier habit and work on implementing that change! 
 
Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Ask yourself..."What do I value?" Start living more intentionally with the value system that feels right to you no matter what others think of you! Be YOU authentically and be proud of it! 

Do something for someone else even if it is to lend an ear.

Get outside! Get fresh air, sunshine, fresh air, and exercise! This will always make you feel better!

Step up your self- care. Take time for you! Get plenty of rest, eat right, have a support system, and do something for yourself daily even if it is only for a few minutes. 

Demonstrate positive self-talk. Write down positive affirmations about yourself and read them out loud to yourself in the mirror daily and/ or re-write them daily! Practice positive self- talk daily to yourself when ever you are feeling inadequate. HOW YOU THINK WILL FACILITATE HOW YOU FEEL AND THEN HOW YOU ACT!
 
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.


Write down the things that you do not have control over and let them go.

List your strengths.

List you passions, dreams, and interests and move toward the direction with including these into your life.  

Remember that when others do not see you your value- that it does not decrease your value!!
 
Philippians 1:6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Remember that if someone rejects you that it is not a reflection on you but often them and where they are in life with what they are and are not capable of.

Hold your head high and own who you are and what makes you- you. When you start to embrace yourself then others will follow and do the same. Remember that you will attract what you believe that you deserve.

Break down a goal into a short - term objective that is attainable and work toward it. 
 

Deuteronomy 31:6  Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you.  He will not leave you or forsake you.”


Think positive and demonstrate positive talk, think positive and demonstrate positive self talk, think positive and demonstrate positive self-talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember that you are a child of our Lord and your life matters and you are VALUABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isaiah 40:31  but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
