Do I lack something? Foolproof Ways to Boost your Self-Confidence

in #life6 years ago

It is normal for all of us to feel insecure about ourselves at some point in life. The insecurities regarding our body image, personality, and social status can have daunting effects on our well-being though. It is critical to manage our fears and insecurities about our 'self' or they can lead us to stress and even depression. To cope with low level of self-confidence whether it is related to our physical image or psychological personality , one needs to understand the basics of 'being' a social being.
Everything we do or say is observed by the society (yes accept this bitter reality). What we wear, eat, watch, and do for living is a matter of other people's interest (well only those who fall in your social circle; you don't need to panic). Still it is quite stressful to know that you are being watched by the society for your choices. This can ultimately have effect on your self-confidence and self-image. But the good news is that you can boost your self-confidence with our easy and effective hacks (no gimmicks; real hacks);

1. Be aware of your worth
Every time you start feeling low and stressed about your social/physical image, tell yourself that you are equal (if not better) to those 'perfect' looking people around you who are smiling, laughing, and feeling all the times. Remember each one of us is going through a troubled situation one way or the other. The only difference is how we deal with it. Some people do not let their smile and laughter die due to a hardship. They realize that bad times or good times, they come to an end. What doesn't come to end is your patience, perseverance, and enthusiasm to live a happy life. So next time you feel stressed and less confident, revise this reality in your mind to instantly boost your self-confidence.

2. Physical and Mental Wellness
Take care of your health that includes taking care of physical and mental health. Eat a healthy and well-balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and exercise regularly to stay energetic and in shape. Your mental health is as crucial as your physical fitness. If you have anxiety issues or you suspect to be a victim of some psychological disorders, it is best to consult a practitioner to avoid future complications as well as to manage the present symptoms with effectiveness. Remember key to happiness and self-confidence lies in healthy body and mind.

3. Practice yoga
Learn to meditate and then spare few minutes each day to meditate in silence and peace. This improves your focus and attention span, thus improving youe self-confidence.

4. Supportive Friends
Keep company with friends who are supportive. World is full of people who are ready to eat your self-confidence. A helping friend or supportive colleague can save you from draining situations. This will not only boost your self-confidence but will also keep the troublesome situations in check. Your friends should be reliable, honest, and compassionate to make this hack a success.
