How to become a more confident you!

A new me means a new attitude. Up until now I haven't been very nice to myself. In my head I've always been ugly and stupid and useless and I will never amount to anything. I was the girl with no friends and no future. But that's not true. I know I can be better and there are days I do feel pretty. But I guess it was easier to feel bad about myself so when someone hurt me it didn't sting as bad.

But that old, tiring, degrading attitude is over with. Like the old adage says, "out with the old and in with the new!"

So how can I become more confident? How can I stop believing all the negativity and start seeing some of the good qualities others see in me? Well I have to change the way I think and its not going to be easy but its doable.  

1. Tell myself good things every day. If need be right them down on post it's and put them on my mirror where I can always see them everyday.- I can tell myself; I am beautiful. I am smart. I don't have a useless bone in my body. I can be whoever I want to be.  I may be fat right now but look out because this is not a forever me.  I am more than just what people see. I can be loved. I will be loved. I am special. I am awesome!
2. Accomplish things- Big or small it doesn't matter. Just don't sit around feeling sorry for yourself. Get up. Make a list and check it off as you go throughout the day. Find something your passionate about like writing or cooking. Get into crafts. Color your world beautiful. Because you are beautiful and whatever you do, whatever you accomplish will shine through. It will put a smile on your face and give you the drive to get up in the morning and try new things. We only get one life.
3. Say goodbye to those that bring you down.- You don't need help in that department. You need to surround yourself with people that lift you up and not bring you down to their level. Those are not your friends. You deserve better.
4. Always wear a smile.- No matter how bleak my life has gotten and someone always has it worse I always try to smile. A smile gives you hope. But don't just smile for you. That old man that sits in front of the grocery store would like a smile too. Share the joy. Spread it. And maybe he will give you a smile back in return. A smile will help you stand tall even if you feeling like falling.
5. Never give up.- I can do this! We can do this. You are not alone. We can be confident. We can reach our goals and be the amazing, talented and beautiful people we were meant to be. We just got to strive for it. This is NOT impossible. Nothing is impossible until you're gone. So keeping fighting.

Till next time...
