Everyone has insecurities. We're human. It could be that you may feel you're overweight, or too thin, or you're not happy with your hair... teeth. There's usually something we're super insecure about. Some of these concerns you can do something about, but their others you have to learn to live with.

Lose Some Weight
If you are not happy with your weight set about shedding a few pounds by starting a healthy lifestyle change There is no need for strict diets, they never work for long. Cut out fizzy drinks and have water instead. Reduce the number of sugary treats and replace them with fresh fruit. Basically, if you eat less than you usually do you will lose some weight, but doing a couple of extra things to improve your health can help enormously. Healthy eating habits contribute greatly to our emotional well-being. 

Put more exercise into your lifestyle... Walking up stairs instead of taking the elevator, or maybe parking a little further away from wherever you are going can be little changes, but will help with your goal.

None of these ideas are too drastic, and once you begin to witness the changes, you'll find encouragement and inspiration to keep doing it and maybe even a little more. 

Fix The Problems
There are some flaws that are very easy to fix. If you are not happy with your hair for instance, try a different style and maybe even a different color. The beauty of hair is that it grows quite quickly, and if you do not like the new style it will grow so you can try another.

If it is your teeth you are not too keen on, talk to your dentist about getting any broken or cracked ones repaired. If it is just the color of them that concerns you try a teeth bleaching kit to brighten your smile. They are inexpensive and you will see results in just a few days.

Enhance The Things You Do Like

Just as there are things you do not like about yourself, there will be some things that you do. Try enhancing those assets and boost that confidence. Clothing that flatters your figure is a good place to start, as is makeup, and you could also look at contact lenses if you have beautiful eyes so that they are not hidden behind a pair of glasses. But of course, glasses can be chic and fun too! Plus, they also add personality.

Make a few notes of the things you do like on pieces of paper and stick them around your mirror.
This positive reinforcement will be a daily reminder that you have good points as well as bad and will help to boost your confidence.

Be Positive About Yourself
Stop being negative about yourself, as that tends to make you drop your shoulders and generally look quite miserable. Keep positive; hold your head high and let people see who you really are. Do not think that you are not worthy. You are you. Everyone is beautiful and even more beautiful to someone in particular, and that is as much because of your character as it is about the way you look.

Love yourself and you’ll always feel amazing!

​There are things about ourselves that we get so hung up on that we overlook how special we actually are. Insecurities are part of being human. Embrace who you are. There's only one you.
