Life comes with three constants: Taxes, death, and the fact that when you scroll through Instagram, you’ll always see people with well-toned bodies going on trips and having a time of their lives. Does this make you feel bad? Research has shown that the more people spend more time on Insta and Facebook, the less confident they feel about themselves.
Does it at times feel like everyone is sure and confident about themselves except you? Chances are, they also doubt themselves just like you! Confidence isn’t in-born; you create it!
How do You Start Feeling Confident about Your Own Body?
If you want to start feeling confident in your own body, you must be ready to change your mood and thinking at any time of the day. Your mood is determined by how you feel about yourself. The following are some tips on how to start feeling confident in your own body:
Love Yourself the Way You are
For you to start feeling confident in your own body, you must love yourself first. When you learn to love yourself, you’ll feel confident because it will be coming from within. Many people have failed in loving themselves; they always believe that they aren’t good or beautiful enough. Overcoming these beliefs is the 1st step to achieving total self-confidence in your own body.
Body Language
Do you want to feel more confident in your own body? Then act like it! Mastering how to use your body language to exude confidence can make a huge difference in your life. You must have come across individuals who show confidence even before they speak, by just how they move and carry themselves. These people make eye contact, shake hands firmly and stand up straight whenever they communicate. You wouldn’t have time to think of their flaws because of how they carry themselves; this trick can also work for you. Just act confident! You can change how you feel about your own body by controlling the way you present yourself and move.
Positivity
Having positive thoughts is made possible by changing your focus since “Where focus goes, energy flows.” For you to start feeling good about yourself, don’t focus on all the wrong things about yourself; instead, focus on the things you love about yourself. The positive focus becomes a reality, making you feel more confident about yourself. Begin looking at yourself positively, and you’ll see a change in your life.
Analyze your most important human need
Determining what pushes your decisions is another crucial step in starting to feel confident about yourself. We have six human needs: contribution, variety, growth, connection/love, significance, and certainty. We treasure one of these needs more than the rest, and it affects our decision-making capabilities. It even affects our confidence. For instance, if you value certainty, you will always feel unsure in new situations. If you value significance, you’ll always feel insecure if you aren’t given the recognition you crave. It’s important to determine and develop the need that will help you to start feeling confident in your own body.
Being confident means believing in yourself. It’s the feeling that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Confidence is drawn from within, and you can always be more confident if you so wish.
