4 Simple Ways To Make Yourself Feel More Beautiful & Confident

I’m all about self-love; there’s nothing more upsetting than someone who doesn’t love themselves. The problem is, so many people feel this way in today’s society. We’re living in a really messed up world where it’s too easy to look in the mirror and hate what you see.

I don’t like this one bit, which is why I’m writing this blog post. I want to give you all a few simple ideas that can help you feel more beautiful and confident in your own skin.

Wear what makes you feel comfortable.

Dress for yourself
I’ll kick things off with an idea that’s helped me a lot in life. If you’re like me, then you’ll be going through a phase where you almost dress for other people. You wear clothes that you think other people will like, as you don’t want to stand out and you’re eager to get compliments. Often, this means you wear things that you don’t always feel comfortable in, which can harm your confidence. Instead, start dressing for yourself. Whenever you’re buying clothes or putting on an outfit, wear something that you feel comfortable in. Being comfortable in your clothes is the first step to being more confident and feeling beautiful inside and out. It’s a simple concept, but it works wonders. 

Treat yourself to something fancy
Sometimes, we all need a little bit of retail therapy to make ourselves feel a bit better. There’s something so nice about buying something fancy that puts a smile on our face. You could buy jewelry online, pick up a new handbag from a designer website, get yourself some brand new activewear, or even buy some makeup that you’ve been eager to get for ages. Whatever it is that makes you happy, go out and buy it. We all deserve a treat once in a while, and you will be amazed at how beneficial it is to your overall wellbeing. ​​

Working out makes you feel more confident & happy.

Go to the gym
One of the best ways to make you feel better about yourself is to go out and exercise. Hit the gym and spend half an hour working out, then tell me how you feel. Trust me when I say that you’ll feel like a different person. Your mood changes and you look at your sweaty self in the mirror and feel so happy because you’ve done something positive. The best thing is, the more you work out, the better you feel. Staying active and living a healthy lifestyle is the key to self-love and confidence!

Go on an unfollowing spree
Lastly, this is a piece of advice I heard someone say in a YouTube video recently. Basically, we’re all guilty of following accounts on Instagram that might post unrealistic photos that end up making you feel bad. They almost set a standard for beauty that you just can’t realistically hit because the pictures are photoshopped and edited to hell. So, one thing you can do is go down your feed and unfollow anyone that doesn’t make you feel good about yourself. Decleanse your timeline of negativity, fill it with positivity, and social media can start having a positive impact on your life!

Take a big step towards feeling more beautiful and confident in your skin by following the four tips suggested above. Let me know how you start to feel, and I hope it brings more happiness and self-love to your life.
