How to be confident: A quick summary

It is a pretty well-known fact that many people suffering from mental health issues and eating disorders also have low self esteem and low confidence - I am definitely one of these! But I've decided enough is enough; it's time to change.

So today I thought I would share with you 5 quick tips for improving your confidence. If you begin acting and feeling more confident, over time your self esteem will gradually increase and you will start feeling more happy within yourself. At least, that's what I believe and hope!

• Learn to love yourself •
You cannot truly love others or appreciate and live life to the full if you don't first love yourself. Accept your flaws and remember that appearance doesn't matter- it's what's on the inside that counts.

• Believe in the confidence you were born with •
I feel it’s something that is always there, something you’re born with that gets lost along the way, or stolen by others. Sometimes you have to dig deep to find it again. ~Amy Lee Tempest


• Learn your strengths and weaknesses •
Accept that while you can't be perfect at everything, you can strive to achieve and be a wonderful person. Our imperfections make us who we are ~


• Embrace the unknown •

Life is an adventure.Eexplore. You might not always like where you end up, but you'll always manage to find your way back to where you love, no matter how long it takes or many obstacles you may come across along the way ~

• Take risks •
If you spend your life playing safe, you might never get to where you want to be in life. Taking risks is scary, but in order to live your life to the full you need to take chances and live ~


I found this website called Tiny Budda (this article) which I found really helpful - I got a few of my 5 points from there, and if you want to read a slightly longer article about building confidence, I definitely recommend it.
