1. Take Proper Care of Yourself

Feel good about yourself and boost confidence by taking better care of yourself. Practice self-care and implement beneficial health habits. Aim to exercise for at least 30 minutes per day and move more if you have a sedentary job. If you notice that you have any discomfort or shortness of breath while exercising then consider contacting Dr Muayad Alasady right away for an evaluation. You want to make sure you have a healthy heart and that the exercises you’re doing are safe for you. Also, get plenty of sleep, eat right, and find ways to reduce stress.

2. Focus on the Positives & What You Like About You

Another way to feel good about yourself and boost confidence is to focus on the positives and what you like about yourself. Make a list of all the attributes and talents you have and enjoy about yourself and review it often. Remind yourself about all your accomplishments and the things you’ve achieved over the years so you’re motivated to continue working hard. A positive mindset will go a long way in helping you to stay focused on what makes you unique and special. If there are things you discover that you don’t like then figure out a plan for changing what’s in your control to feel happier.

3. Do What You Love & are Good at

It’s also important that you do more of what you love and are good at daily. Feel good about yourself and boost your confidence by participating in activities and hobbies you like doing and putting your talents to use. Think about what makes you feel happy and alive and make time for these activities in your schedule. You may not only reinforce what you’re good at this way but might also discover new talents that you can be proud of.

4. Spend Time with Uplifting People

If you want to feel good about yourself and boost your confidence then be choosy about who you surround yourself with daily and in your life. Spend time with uplifting and happy people who are encouraging and make you feel good about yourself. Limit how much energy and time you give to those who don’t treat you well or don’t have your best interest. Establish healthy and nurturing relationships with others and then invest effort into maintaining these and making sure you’re each giving and not always taking.

Make A List Of Your Accomplishments

One great way to boost your confidence is to make a list of your accomplishments. Write down everything you have achieved – from big things, like graduating from university, to small things, like cooking a meal without burning it. Seeing all of your successes in writing can help you feel good about yourself and remind you that you are capable of accomplishing great things.

 

Spend Time With People Who Make You Feel Good About Yourself

If you’re surrounding yourself with people who make you feel bad about yourself, it’s no wonder that your self-confidence is low. Spend more time with people who make you feel good about yourself – people who appreciate and respect you. These positive relationships will help you feel better about yourself and give you the support you need to achieve your goals.

 

Spend Some Time And Money On Yourself

One of the best ways to feel good about yourself is to spend some time and money on yourself. Get a massage, buy new clothes, or treat yourself to a manicure. If, for example, you have always wanted a beautiful smile, spending your hard-earned money on teeth whitening or aligners for straight teeth. A beautiful smile can go a long way to boost your confidence.

 

Set Goals and Achieve Them

One of the best ways to boost your confidence is by setting goals and achieving them. When you accomplish something, big or small, you feel good about yourself. So start by setting small goals and work your way up to bigger ones. Not only will this help you boost your confidence, but it will also help you achieve your dreams and goals.

 

Take Care of Your Appearance

Another way to feel good about yourself is to take care of your appearance. When you look good, you feel good. So make sure you wear clothes that make you look and feel confident, and practice good hygiene habits. When you put in the effort to look and feel your best, you value yourself highly.

 

Be Kind to Yourself

One of the most important things you can do for your self-confidence is to be kind to yourself. Don’t beat yourself up when you make a mistake – learn from it and move on. Be patient with yourself as you work towards your goals, and celebrate your accomplishments along the way. When you are kind to yourself, you will find that your self-confidence grows.

The tips above are just a few ways to boost your confidence and feel good about yourself. If you want to increase your self-confidence, it’s essential to find what works best for you and stick with it. The more confident you feel, the better off you will be – so start boosting your confidence today!

 

A message to my sisters (That means all of you!)

If you read anything I have ever written, please let it be this xxx

Today I heard a big beautiful girl talking about how she wants her daughter to have more opportunities than she had, she wants her to have an easier life… which is fair enough and I expect most people would want the same for their children, then I heard her say something that absolutely stunned me.. She wants her daughter to be beautiful so that she can have that better, easier life,
Now it is often said that pretty girls have things easy but I would have to disagree. Just because you deem a person to be pretty/attractive this does not mean they have ‘things’ any easier than you do.
My heart hurts when I think about young girls who have been told by friends, family and/or society that they are not beautiful, whether that be told directly or indirectly.
I think instilling confidence into young people is the key to them being able to achieve all the things they want out of life.
This morning after hearing this I put up a Facebook status that read
                   
                       If I had a magic power it would be to make all the girls (and women) in the world know how beautiful they are, it breaks my heart when I see/hear a beautiful young women who truly doesn’t know her worth. Feeling beautiful and having confidence is truly one of the most powerful things in the world! I believe this more than any of you will ever know.” – Lucia Morris

This status was liked by many of my friends and family but I had so much more to say on the topic hence this blog post. 
I have a beautiful 18 year old sister and it made me think about how she sees herself, and it would kill me to think she sees herself as anything less than the amazing, bright and beautiful young woman that I have watched her grow into so through tears I sent her this message through Whatsapp;

                    “you are one of the most beautiful people on this planet, inside and out. I love you more than you will ever know. I hope to god you value yourself as much as I and everyone else who knows you does. x”

We continued to have a very mushy conversation, which I will refrain from adding here, It was so lovely and heart warming to hear how much my impromptu message meant to her and made me wonder if had had a confident plus size influence when I was that age would I have viewed myself differently and in turn had a better experience growing up as a extra plus size girl. 
My sister is not a big girl, she is a size 16 and extremely beautiful but by her own admission has some issues with body confidence (as I am sure many girls do at that age). I don’t want a lack of confidence to prevent her (or anyone else for that matter) from accomplishing anything at all that she wishes.


I have two sisters and it goes for them both. 
Me and my two sisters <3

I want my sisters to love themselves from right now, not when they get older and develop an IDGAF attitude, going into new social situations like starting university and work, self confidence is the foundation of the amazing people they are going to be.

I don’t usually talk much about confidence on my blog but I think this is a massive issue in the plus size community, I don’t want to continuously write about pretty dresses, yes I do think its very important for people to see that a woman my size has many clothing options and I also think it is important to show that you can be as big as I am, be confident and be happy. These are the things I wish I had known at a much younger age and I feel like I would be doing a disservice having this platform and not reaching out and saying YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. 

I’m going to be honest and say I have no idea what the point of this blog post is but I just feel so strongly about young girls knowing their worth and feeling beautiful. I think a confident girl will become a confident woman and a confident woman can accomplish anything. I don’t think people realise the power of self confidence and I know it is something I have only discovered in the last three years or so, But I know now that it is something that I want to share with everyone that I can.



You Are Good Enough!

You Are Good Enough!!!!Debz over at Wannabe Princess  decided to start a blog challenge for Plus Size blogger to get involved in a small movement that originated here at Smile and Spread the Word.
I really like this idea as it is a message that I like to send with my blog so I definitely wanted to get involved.
I am good enough and so are you!
This is something I have learned over time and I am at an age where I can say this and mean it…Its a wonderful feeling!

We were also asked to talk about a body part that that we really like… I chose my face… I am really happy with face, more specifically my skin, I used to have really bad skin and hated my face without makeup.
So in the spirit of being good enough I am bombarding you all with pic of me with no makeup on at all and no filters. This is something that I would have never have done a couple of years ago and now I am very happy to share my bare face!!!!

Ladies… what makes you feel good enough????
