This guest post is submitted by Sally, who went to a luxury boot camp last year where she gained a boost of self-confidence afterwards. She want to share things she learned from the camp to help other women get the same.

Feel good because you owe this to yourself

Life has its own ups and downs which generally shape the perception of how an individual sees themselves. There are times when you may feel bad about yourself because of a number of reasons, resulting in feelings of inferiority, unworthiness, unattractive and even stupid. In times like these it is important to be aware of ways in which you can be able to make yourself feel good and gain confidence in your abilities and strengths as a human being. There are a number of ways to feel good about yourself with some of the most common and successful ones including:

Exercise – Doing simple exercises will help jumpstart the body and give it the energy it needs to start off the day. These exercises can be done either at the gym or at home depending on where you get the most satisfaction.  Most times when you are feeling bad about yourself, you may want to sit somewhere while thinking about many things that may not be of value. However, with a bit of exercise the mind is also renewed alongside the body.

Avoid comparisons – Spending time looking at what others have in life and what we do not always deals a blow to your confidence. It is important to realise that there will be always people better or worse off than you, and learn to embrace life as it is dealt to us. Think of yourself as a unique person who has different talents as well as skills that set you apart from others and celebrate them. However, if you notice lifestyle habits that need to change, then you need to make changes for yourself and not to please others.

Cheer yourself up – This can be done in a number of ways depending on the things that make you happy. For example, some ladies like to go shopping and buy clothes that make them feel good about themselves and increases their confidence as well. You can also go watch an uplifting movie or have a date with friends that you know value your presence in their lives. Most times when you know you are needed and valued you begin to feel cheerful and happy with yourself.

Love yourself – No matter how successful you become, you can never feel good about who you are if you are not able to love yourself. Loving yourself means that you accept yourself as you are, with both your weaknesses and strengths irrespective of your stature in life. Avoid speaking negatively about yourself but seek ways in recognizing your values and contribution to the world around you. 

Make changes – If there is something that you have always wanted to change in your life, maybe appearance, clothing or even buying something you want, do it. Many times we are selfish when it comes to our fulfilling our needs thinking we are doing ourselves a favour. Even if it is a small step towards your dream do it, so that you will never regret not having tried.

Sally and I bought wishes this will help you feel good more about yourself. Until next time... happy weekend everyone.
