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!

body positivity

body posi

what is it?

body positive - accepting your body as it is and attempting to make everyone else feel comfortable in their own skin as well

why it shouldn't be shamed

it takes a lot of people a long time to actually love themselves. so when they're finally body positive you shouldn't shame them because you don't know how hard it was for them to overcome that feeling of self hate. so by saying being body positive is being a "hoe" or "cocky" you can be sending someone who finally loves themselves back to phase 1, and back to that self hate stage. so before you try to slut shame that girl/boy for posting a revealing pic, think about the outcome you might have on their self confidence. let them do what they want it's not affecting you at all.

how to be body posi

becoming body positive is a process. we as people, have to learn how to love ourselves. we have to stop comparing ourselves to other people and realize that we can only be us. we can't let other people dictate the type of people that we want to be. if you're not happy with you body, work hard and change it. if your not happy with the state of your mind, research hard, gain knowledge, get educated. if your mentally ill, think positive and you slay with that mental illness. never let anything or anyone get in the way of you being body positive. love yourself.

by the way, the phrase "if you don't love yourselves how do you expect others to?" is total bs, let other people love you while you're finding yourself.

happy october!

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?
