How To Have Confidence For Back To School Season

 

Hey everyone! How's it been? I haven't talked to you guys in a minute...life has been hectic! Buttttt, today I am going to give you a couple of different tips on how to be confident this back to school season!

With school coming back in session a lot of you may be entering another grade or moving to a new school! So having confidence is a must if you want to make a good impression and make friends more easily!

I know for a fashion blog you're expecting fashion tips, I know I know, but I think this one will be just as helpful, considering the fact: You can wear the cutest outfit in the world, but if you're not wearing confidence....well...you're just not as attractive as you could be!

So.... without further ado, let's get into the tips! 

1. Know Your Worth.

• A lot of times it is easy to get caught up in who likes you and who doesn't, or rather defining your worth by if a person likes you or if they don't --- but let me tell you! You will NEVER be happy if you keep putting your self-worth in the hands of others! (ex: friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc) because guess what - those relationships can change! And if all of a sudden that person leaves your life, your confidence will leave too! So the first step to having confidence is knowing your worth without needing anyone else! You are beautiful, kind and smart no matter what anybody else thinks!

2. Not Caring What Others Think Of You.

• Okay...I know what you're thinking...easier said than done, right? But I'm gonna let you in on a little secret....people are more worried about themselves than they are about you! SO, instead of stressing about what he thinks about you, or what she thinks about you - just know this - people are probably stressing more about how THEY appear to you than how YOU appear to them!

3. Stop Comparing Yourself.

• Number one, comparison is the thief of joy! No matter what you try to do, you can NEVER EVER be somebody else! You can do your hair the same way, your makeup the same way, etc. but at the end of the day, you are you! So instead of being worried about trying to fit into a certain mold, stand out of it and be yourself! You will be so much happier!
• Make a list of all of your good qualities. For the ones who are saying "I don't have any" please - really take a moment to reflect, because I KNOW that's not true! Once you make a list of all these good qualities, you'll realize that you don't need to try to be anyone else, because you are already uniquely you and you have so many qualities and talents that deserve to shine!

4. Talk To Yourself Confidently.

• If you are always looking down on your self, such as the person who says "I don't have any talents" well - guess what! You're ruining your own confidence all by yourself! Start by telling yourself positive affirmations in the morning (or any time you feel insecure), this will help raise your confidence and self-esteem. 

5. Gain Knowledge.

• Whether you think you are pretty or not, cool or not, etc. Guess what, babe? NOTHING can stop you from learning! Learn all you can! Read a book, work hard to get better grades, learn a new skill! Whatever it is - just learn! This will help you gain confidence because you will find out just how much you are capable of! And trust me - this works!

Lastly, you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) so no matter what you think about yourself, that's the truth! I hope these tips helped you gain some confidence and I hope you apply them to your everyday life!
