Ways to improve self confidence??

Question

Lately I feel I've been struggling with my self- confidence. A couple years ago I was always so strong about the way I feel and see myself, but as the years have gone by Ive felt myself being more insecure. I did go through a tough break up a while ago and maybe that's apart of the reason for my insecurities. I have an amazing boyfriend now that treats me amazing, like no guy has ever treated me.. But I seem to always feel so threatened by other girls and get jealous so easily when it comes to him (it'll be over the dumbest things that I know don't mean anything). I just always have that mindset that every girl is out to ruin my relationship. I can't tell if that's just normal or not but I need advice on how some of you stay confident with yourself?? Ways I can work on my insecurities?

Answer

Also if you have Instagram or other social media where you follow a bunch of models/celebrities and stuff I highly recommend going through your feed and unfollowing them and clearing them out because looking at that all the time can really make you start to think that that is what's normal and what every girl looks like, and what you should look like, when it's not! Try to follow people who inspire you instead, people who promote positivity and put out good vibes. Unfollow accounts that are solely image based and/or negative. Social media is so full of that stuff these days and it's so easy to just let it get to you without you even realising it! But recently I went through and unfollowed all the accounts that I was literally just following  because they were "perfect" or had a nice body or anything superficial like that. And honestly since going through and getting all that out of my feed I feel so much better, I don't have all these images flooding my newsfeed making me feel like I don't meet those standards. Instead I get to look through my newsfeed and see people who inspire me and things I'm really interested in etc. ☺️

One thing I try to do which really helps is to just focus on things you love about yourself, instead of picking out features you don't like. Whether that be your eyes, legs, nails, etc. Pick out things you like about yourself and that make you unique! Literally compliment yourself on those things in your head. When you look in the mirror tell yourself you're beautiful, even when you don't feel it. When you find yourself having negative thoughts literally just stop that though instantly, tell yourself it's not true (even if you believe it) and then replace it by thinking of positive things about you instead. I know this all sounds dumb but eventually it'll become habit and it really does help change the way you see yourself!

Remind yourself how lucky and blessed you are that you have legs so you can walk places, and hands that you can pat dogs with and eyes to look at pretty sunsets with, etc. When you really focus on things in this way and see the bigger picture, image kind of just becomes less of a pressure and you really just start to appreciate everything so much more!

Focus on your talents and things you're good at and interested in and work on them! You'll feel proud of those things and they'll make you feel good about yourself too!

Im so sorry this was so long but I hope some of this helped! Good luck! I hope you start feeling confident soon! You deserve it!! 😘
