How to be more confident ;)

My favorite saying is, “ fake it till you make it”. This is always easier said than done but here are some tips on how to feel and appear more confident.

* Create an alter ego. Give your character a name and write down how they act. Whenever you are in a stressful situation you can become that person.

* Eye contact. Force yourself to keep eye contact. Turn it into game and make them break eye contact first. This is such a power move.

* Good posture. Always walk with a straight back and your head held up. This will make you appear more confident.

* Nobody cares. Remember everyone only cares about themselves. Nobody’s thinking about what u said or did. So just be you and live your life how you want.

* Make a good first impression. Be kind, polite and genuine.

* Listen to affirmation podcasts. There’s are so many confidence boosting affirmation podcast. If u have a stressful situation coming listen to it the night before. The more you tell yourself you are amazing then eventually you will start to believe it.

* Put effort into your appearance. If you look good you will feel good. Take care of your hair, put an outfit you feel good in on, do a little bit of makeup if you want and always wear deodorant and perfume.

90% of life is confidence. The thing about confidence is no one knows if it’s real or not.- Maddy Perez

how to develop self love and confidence

— a step by step guide by yours truly ♥

disclaimer!! for some people it can take a lot longer to love themselves than others, so don't be discouraged if it takes a bit longer. just remember that no matter what you think, you ARE WORTHY OF LOVE.

step 1: identifying the root cause

first you need to find WHY you dont love yourself. it usually comes down to these main reasons:

society

your looks

comparison

your abilities

childhood trauma

your current situations

it can be just one or more than one, and sometimes it may not be as simple as "my looks", sometimes you may have to dig deeper.

for me, it was because i thought i was "ugly"

step 2: once you know the WHY, research about the topic and try and solve it.

here ive broken down the 6 reasons to help you a bit: (but remember that this is just a small break down, if you want you can research more about the topic & try to battle it)

society: society has tricked us into believing that loving yourself is considered 'vain' or 'narcissistic'. let me tell you right now that THAT IS NOT TRUE. loving yourself is a basic necessity that everyone should have!!

your looks: this is something i struggled with for a loong time. remember that beauty is subjective!! bob could think that travis looks 'average' but Leo could think that travis looks absolutely gorgeous!! ☆ so how did i overcome this? i actually 'glowed up'. bc the main thing i didnt like was face- my teeth to be specific. so once i got braces, my teeth aligned and i started looking so much better. ☆ other struggles: ↴ for you if it may be acne, then you could start trying to take care of your skin better. or if its body image then if you reeeeally dont like it then literally just start working out. if you have the option to yet you still dont then dont complain. but remember that ALL BODIES ARE PERFECT. ★ another thing that helped me a lot was affirmations! i listened to a bunch of affirmations -> i used this video by thewizardliz and it did wonders! (you can also search up on yt self-love/ beauty affirmations)

comparison: for most people comparison comes from social media right? the simple solution to this would be unfollow accounts that dont serve you, or delete/ set a time limit on the social media platform "but what if i compare myself to people i meet in real life?" well we can't exactly unfollow or delete these people but what we can do is turn that jealousy (yes, jealousy) into inspiration! be inspired by the people with greater lives and use that to pull yourself forward! ☆ a quote that i read once (that may or may not help you) : "do not compare your chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 50." you never know what the other person has gone through or is going through that got them to this point!

your abilities: okay theres not much i can say here except that you can learn almost everything online nowadays. stop complaining and get off your lazy butt to prove to yourself just how much potential you have! (but don't beat yourself up for being a lazy butt, im one as well) here is a link to a TON of stuff you can learn online!

childhood trauma: this is a bit of a more delicate subject which i do not know a lot on, my best suggestion would be to just go to therapy (or use an online therapy app- betterhelp). - watching thewizardliz may help as well as she might know more about the topic.

your current situation: whether its trouble with friends, at school, at work, or with family i promise you that these things do not last forever. humans were not put on earth to be unhappy and miserable! (whats the point in that?) my advice is to learn more about the topic (for ex i was struggling with being left out w friends for a while and it did hurt a bit) and see what you can do to fix it or at least make the best out of it. + another reminder that you can use the law of assumption- in basic words the law states that whatever you desire, you have. all you need to do is accept that. heres a quote i read: "if you dont like where you are,, then move. you aint a tree." this is literally YOUR life. RESPECT yourself and dont let people treat you bad because that is disrespecting yourself!

step 3: focus on yourself!!

my favourite step!!

this is your sign to stop focussing on others' lives and start focussing on your own.

when you start to focus on yourself, up level yourself and try to become your best version of yourself, you actually end up falling in love with that version of yourself, and your current version!

ask yourself: is there even something to love?

ask yourself: would you want to date or be friends with someone like you? think actually deep about this; if your answer is no, then that obviously means that there is some work to do.

if you're constantly negative and complaining and rude all the time, trust me, literally no ones gonna want to hang out with you. and then you'll adopt that 'victim mindset' of "nobody likes me and i suck". instead of doing that, why dont you try to just suck a bit less? there isn't any pressure on you to become amazing the next day, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

small things/habits to start:

gratitude

hydration

exercising

journalling

meditation

eating healthy

developing a skill

get enough sleep

take cold showers

taking care of your skin

invest in your appearance

focussing on school/ your grades

go outside! go for walks, be in nature!

changing what you consume (resources below)

some resources that helped me SO MUCH:

♡ thewizardliz

♡ tam kaur

♡ persephone's mind

and meditation! its so extremely underated but SO VALUABLE.

xoxo, vanilla

Tips for building your confidence in ed recovery (or in general)

*Disclaimer*: This is something that takes a lot of work, and you will not be able to achieve it overnight (if you can, good for you!!/gen). PLEASE do not be hard on yourself if you can't do it right away. It's a process and everyone takes a different amount of time to be confident in their body.

Stop talking badly about yourself (not only in your head, but to others, too). Criticizing your body, personality, and other traits will not get you anywhere. It will only make you feel worse. You can start off by being neutral about your body, then work your way up! If someone gives you a compliment, do not deny it. Thank them and move on.

Look up positive affirmations and practice them. I've found great things on Tumblr, but I'm sure they have them everywhere. Recite them even if you don't think they're true. After a while, you'll start to believe it.

Know that you are your own worst critic. I've had many a therapist say this to me, and they're right! People generally don't notice every single detail about a person. The thing you're insecure about? Yeah, that one. I'll bet that someone could walk past you on the street, or have a conversation with you and not notice. People are concerned with themselves. Take a moment to remember what you notice about other people. Probably not every minuscule detail, right? Right. If you go to the store, what are you thinking about? Probably what you need to get or how you look. Not about all the people you're walking past.

Give yourself some grace. Even the most confident people have bad days. You can have a wonderful body image day today, and tomorrow might be horrible. You don't have to love the way you look all the time.

Consume content that makes you feel good about yourself. Whatever that may be, do it, and do it often. A certain playlist, a YouTuber, your favorite pictures of yourself, etc.

Wear clothes that make you feel like your best self. Wether that be baggy items, things that are skin tight, or something super casual, if it makes you feel good about your body, wear it.

Take pictures of yourself. I know this one can be scary, but when I feel good, I want to take pictures! Usually, I have music on, and clothes I feel good in, and it just kind of happens. Don't be afraid to be in pictures. You're beautiful, and you deserve to feel beautiful.

If I think of anything else, I'll make a part 2

As always, please don't be scared to send me a message or an ask! I'm here to help, and glad to do it! <3

Hey, quick advice to the people who don't have enough confidence :

Draw yourself as a god

I did that some month ago and it really boosts your ego. I was repeating "I'm so sensual " during all the drawing.

Here's my godsona, you can also find it on @amacayen-art :

4 Tips to Build Self-Confidence

Build self-awareness – The beliefs you hold about yourself are key in confidence building. Be careful when you form certain thoughts about yourself.

Nourish self-love – Compliment yourself and celebrate yourself. Embracing these practices helps you change the way you view yourself and thus your confidence.

Work on the way you carry yourself – For instance, body language is an important part of confidence. Work on your stance, your eye contact, and your mannerisms.

Challenge yourself – Don’t let fear limit you from accomplishing things you desire. Go out there and try. Confidence is the ability to believe in yourself enough to put yourself out there.

Confidence

I find it kind of ironic when people tell me I seem confident because I’m also very anxious. I used to be embarrassed to say I’m confident. You’re not supposed to acknowledge your good qualities for some reason.

But it’s true I AM confident. It's a quality I consistently work on.

That doesn’t mean I’m free of insecurity. I think that’s what holds many people back from being confident. The misconception that confidence is a thing that you inherently ARE, not something that you DO, and that it's final and unwavering.

“One day I’ll be confident” as if you’ll wake up one morning and suddenly have the ability to conquer your greatest fears.

Being confident is a conscious choice that you have to make every day no matter how uncomfortable it might feel. Better yet, the more uncomfortable it feels the more reason to strive for it.

I can always spot a fellow anxious person and often feel a responsibility to give them some encouragement and permission to be themselves. They’re always the most amazing people who just need a little push.

Many confident people feel anxious, it’s normal and human. Confidence doesn’t mean that you don’t feel anxious, it's doing things despite the anxiety.

This is why I have a love/hate relationship with speaking to large groups or new people. I get knots in my stomach, my hands shake, and I ramble. But I still force myself to do it because I love connecting with people and I’m not going to stop myself from experiences I enjoy for fear of what? A tight knot in my stomach? Nah. I’ll deal with it like I would a running nose or a cough.

I’ve become somewhat addicted to going against my anxiety out of spite. If I feel anxious about something I’ll go out of my way to do exactly that. What are my feelings to stop me from doing what I want?

How to glow-up in 2023 & beyond

Psychology edition with tangible steps to upgrade your whole essence without altering your looks.

Study charisma - this is your card to be appealing, attractive, desired and respected regardless of your appearance, use it.

Stop begging for love. Be it romantic, your family or your friendships - you glow a different kind of radiance when you show people you're not desperate for their approval, attention or company. Always choose no company over shitty company. Validate from within, keep affirming that you approve of YOU.

Stop settling for good enough-people to share your time with. You deserve to spend your time with people who feel like a full-body-yes, those who have matching core values and enrich your life. This will result in you being naturally more radiant as you're able to live your authentic truth instead of holding back for keeping peace. Make space for fulfilling connections to arrive.

Stop fighting against the world. In a world that functions on offense, defense becomes the easiest way to survive. For you to access your ultimate power however, you need to thrive not just survive. Start noticing the alliances. In order to fight for what truly matters & change things within a community, you have to first fit in. There's multiple studies about this.

Realize you have the control to heal your life. Start taking accountability of where you are at life, especially mentally.

Face what you fear & sit with every layer of emotion. What you face can be erased, what you resist persists. The more ease and comfort you're able to accumulate, the more attractive you appear. This will set you free.

Shame is now canceled. When humans evolved & developed the fear of rejection, it served a vital purpose of survival because getting ostracized by your herd meant inevitable demise in the early ages. In our modern society, however, there will be multiple groups of people who adore you. Rejection by your core groups no longer mean anything other than an intense emotional reaction to save you from death that doesn't exist anymore. Remind yourself of this everyday when in doubt.

Love you girls 💋 xx the Dark Mother

SELF VALIDATION

First things first, if you validate your existence on externalities, you will never truly be happy. While it’s important to have values and to act on them, it shouldn’t be your main source of happiness.

E.g. parent validation, academic validation, and male validation. So, here are some tips to validate yourself.

VALUE YOUR OPINION. You should have the ability to make decisions and identify yourself solely on your opinion. Trust, giving people that ability to shape your decisions and curate your identity, allows them to dictate your worth.

SELF LOVE OVER OTHERS. Ensure you are doing everything in your power to treat yourself lovingly. Even if it means sacrificing a few things in life. E.g. going to sleep early instead of cramming for a test.

BE RESILIENT. When I say that, I don’t mean ‘don't let anything affect you’ but rather, build yourself up to the point that when someone/something knocks you down, you can bounce back easily.

BECOME SELF AWARE. Know your strengths, and weaknesses, and be mindful of the truth. Be genuine when it comes to this because self-awareness helps us with becoming more in touch with our inner selves.

AVOID NEGATIVE SELF TALK. This can cause us to rely on others to hear good things about ourselves. Instead, say affirmations in the mirror.

STOP PEOPLE PLEASING. There’s a difference between genuinely being nice, and being a doormat. You shouldn’t have to bend over backwards for others, and they give absolutely nothing back. Invest that time and effort into yourself.

SOMEONE’S GAIN IS NOT YOUR LOSS. This is a mindset shift that will change the game. You have to stop seeing successful, wealthy, pretty or intelligent people as threatening your skills or talents. There is enough success for everyone.

DETACH FROM OTHERS. Friends, family, males, etc. Stop letting how other people treat you, dictate your mood for the rest of the day. The only factor your mood should depend on is you. What you do, say, and act is the only factor.

KNOCK OTHERS FROM YOUR PEDESTAL. The only person that should be on top of your pedestal, is you. By doing this, you create an inferiority complex for someone else and give them superiority.

OTHER’S OPINIONS ARE MOMENTARY. They will always move on with their day and see what needs to be done. They do not care about you as much as you think. So, do not even try to give them the time of day.

BUILD BOUNDARIES. With others and yourself. Both are equally important because you value yourself enough not to do something you’ll regret.

Emotionally healthy people are quitters ✨

Emotionally healthy people are quitters. They make choices that align with their well being. Quitting a relationship, partnership or job that makes you unhappy is a sign of self awareness. If someone stays in something bad for too long, it's not because they're strong, but because they're afraid or have low self esteem. Being emotionally healthy means having awareness, setting boundaries, and knowing when it's time to move on from situations that no longer serve you. It's about prioritizing your mental and emotional health over sticking with something that's causing you harm or making you unhappy.

Emotionally healthy people also tend to have good communication skills. They express their feelings and needs calmly, openly and honestly. They also look for guidance and enlightenment because they understand that seeking help is a sign of strength not weakness.

They make decisions out of self love rather than attachment or fear. When you prioritize loving yourself, you make choices that align with your happiness and growth, rather than staying in situations out of comfort or insecurity.

Recognizing when you have an unhealthy attachment or that your feelings may not be conducive to your well being is important. It allows you to take a step back, evaluate the situation objectively, and make choices that are in line with your best interests.

Sometimes holding on can lead to more pain and struggle than necessary. It's a sign of emotional maturity to recognize when a situation is no longer good for you and to have the strength to let it go.

Things that are genuinely right for you should not cause you harm or emotional pain. Choosing pain is a sign of a lack of self love. Recognizing the need for change, prioritizing self love, and making healthier choices is how you begin to change your life.

Reframe your mindset from “this is hurting me because I love it” to “this is hurting me because I do not love me.”

stop being second choice

Start with your relationship with yourself. If you see yourself as second choice, others will see it too. Learn to love yourself and put yourself first in your own priorities.

Learn to love yourself. You can't expect another to fulfill all your affection needs if you're not already enough for yourself. Take time every day to pamper yourself and do the things that bring you happiness.

Dare to take your place and say no when someone asks you something you don't want or can't do. Your time and energy are valuable, don't waste them on others.

Believe in your own worth. Don't let anyone make you doubt your worth. Or you give the impression that you are not “good enough”. You deserve a relationship where you are respected and appreciated for who you are.

BECOMING THE WOMAN YOU WANT

Imagine the woman you want to become. Envision her embracing a lifestyle woven with healthy habits that radiate positivity and well-being. Picture her waking up early, greeting the day with gratitude, and setting intentions that shape her mindset for success.

In her daily routine, she prioritizes self-care—nourishing her body with wholesome meals, staying hydrated, and indulging in regular exercise that she genuinely enjoys. Whether it's a morning yoga session, an evening run, or a dance class, physical activity is not a chore but a celebration of what her body can achieve.

This woman values the power of mindfulness. Picture her taking moments throughout the day to breathe deeply, practice meditation, or simply appreciate the present. It's in these mindful pauses that she finds clarity, resilience, and a profound connection with herself.

As she moves through her day, healthy habits extend into her work life. This woman is organized and efficient, using time management techniques to tackle tasks without feeling overwhelmed. Regular breaks and moments of reflection help her maintain focus and creativity.

Evenings are a sanctuary for winding down. She cherishes a good night's sleep, prioritizing rest as a cornerstone of her well-being. Unplugging from screens, engaging in calming activities, and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule contribute to the rejuvenation her body and mind need.

Remember, becoming her doesn't happen overnight. It's a gradual process, a collection of intentional choices and persistent efforts. Start incorporating these healthy habits, step by step, and watch as you evolve into the empowered, balanced woman you aspire to be. 🌿💪🌺🌟

Do you think you speak too fast/ too slow?

Here is what I learned from a speech coach.

warm up:

start this exercise by taking a deep breath and saying “aaaaah” - try to extend this to 30 seconds. Now if it doesn’t go till 30, that’s fine. Aim to work your way to that. If you can work it up to 30, go for 45/60 seconds. Do this 5 times.

next. Download an app called Metronome beats. It’s basically what singers/ musicians use for beats.

Settings: keep beats/bar as 1,

clicks/beats as 1

start at 90. It will start with a click sound and continue “beeping.”

Match your words to the beep. One beep = one word. Now slowly, increase the beat by 5 till you reach 110. Increase it at your own pace but try to spend at least 20 seconds on each number (90 for 20 seconds; 95 for 20; 100 for 20….) That’s when you stop.

either start by reading something out loud and matching the beat, or select a topic and speak freely.

do this every single day. This will help with your breath, if you’re speaking on a topic it will help you think better and improve over time. The best way to further complement this exercise is to improve your vocabulary. Try to learn 1-3 new words a day and incorporate it in your vocabulary.

This is a great tool to use when learning new languages too. You can practice your speaking skills and see how fast you can remember/ read words.
