how to boost your self confidence ☄

how to boost your self confidence!

first, if you know anyone struggling with self confidence or body positivity, send them the link to this post! you never know, it may help someone. be sure to share this post on social media as well! 

sooooo, i know a lot of people, including myself struggle with self confidence. you're not alone...everyone at some point in their life, struggles with self confidence! and today i will be sharing some tips on how to boost your self confidence! now by self confidence, i don't necessarily only mean body image, (i'll do a separate post on how to boost body positivity), i mean the confidence you have in yourself to do a certain thing or feel a certain way.

google defines it as: self-con·fi·dence (noun)

a feeling of trust in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment.

so what are the ways to boost this you ask???

1. build off of your mistakes - we all make mistakes in our lifetime, we are human, but you have to learn how to build off of those mistakes and learn from them. this will not only boost your self confidence, but make you a better person overall.

2. have a positive outlook on life - if you sit around mopping around about how bad your life is and how bad life is in general, you're going to have a bad vibe and aura. to avoid this, have a positive outlook on life and be super optimistic. 

3. don't be afraid to fail - a lot of people don't pursue a certain thing because fear of failure, this really plummets ones self confidence. so, if there is something that you want to do, do it!

4. don't let others determine your self confidence - sometimes, people like to tell you who you are. don't let this happen. it's called SELF confidence because it is the confidence that you give yourself, not the confidence that others give you. by letting another person determine this in your life, it really takes a toll on your self confidence. 

i hope that these tips really helped you ;3 

i know when i struggle with self confidence, these are the thing i think of.

thanks for reading!

deep questions to help connect with your inner self

i am so sorry that i've been gone for ages. school has been crazyyyyyy (ill do a school update post soon!) but anyways, lately i've been all about self love and connecting with myself so i wanted to make this post. i've researched a lot of thought provoking questions to ask yourself and to answer honestly. this might help you realize your weaknesses and strengths and help improve yourself.

1. you are on a flight from honolulu to chicago non-stop. there is a fire in the back of the plane. you have enough time to make ONE phone call. who do you call? what do you tell them?

2. you can have one of the following two things. which do you choose? why? love and trust.

3. If you could send a message to the entire world, what would you say in 30 seconds?

4. would you rather be hurt by the one you trust the most or the one you love the most?

5. if you had to choose five words to describe yourself, what would the words be?

6. what do you really love to do? do you do it often? if you answer no, why not?

7. are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend?

8. what do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? why would it be hard to lose?

9. when was the last time you were nice to someone and did NOT expect anything in return for it?

10. what are the things that stand between you and complete happiness?

wow this was such a challenge ya know??? it was so fun though so make your own and leave me a link to check it out!!! these are some of the things i do when im bored tbh.

fit and fab

So, I've been thinking about this for quite some time now. And since a new year is beginning, I really want to take action and stay consistent.

I want to be fit & healthy, And no, I'm not saying that I'm overweight & unhealthy, I'm just saying I want to lead a healthier lifestyle.

Where do I begin?

EATING

So, by leading a healthier lifestyle, I'll have to eat right. I'll have to cut back on my sugar intake and eat the "right" fats. Also I'll have to make sure I'm getting all of my calories and nutrients for the day. The key to this is to resist your urges. Because omg guys....You don't know how many times a day I just want to scarf down a piece of cake. But I have to resist that urge of junk food.

WORKING OUT

Right now I'm currently obsessed with doing Blogilates. Like Cassey is amazing and she makes my body so sore! So my plan is to workout 5 days out of the week, Monday-Friday. Then let my body rest on the weekends. Another thing I'm doing are these "challenges". Basically they're like the "flat abs challenge", "squats challenge", "planks challenge", and so on. I guess they're suppose to make you see results by the end of the month. And I'll start these today (Jan. 1st). HAPPY NEW YEARS BTW!

STAYING CONSISTENT

Sooooooo the hard part. Yeah everyone says they want to change at the start of a new year. But most of us change for like the first couple of weeks, then were back to our old habit. Am I right?!? So another one of my goals is to stay consistent with this. 

MOTIVATION

Okay I have 3 motivation thingy's to share with you all. First of all, I have a fitspo (fitness+inspiration=fitspo) instagram account! The name is @fab.fitspo (click here to view it). Also I just started using this app called PumpUp. It's kind of link a fitness instagram. Everyone on there is so supportive and nice. I just love posting my progress on there. Also i'll be doing fitspo on this blog as well. And posting more about fitness. Maybe I can motivate you guys to get fit and fab with me!

I hope this post motivated you in any way! ILY guys!
