Dearest reader, today i want to talk about how to build your confidence and love yourself fully. When I started blogging I wanted to share my journey with body confidence because growing up i dealt with bullying, body shaming and I never felt confident in my body.
I wanted to share my story to inspire other ladies who felt like me, who never loved their bodies and who always felt like if they had an opportunity they would do a complete makeover.
The journey has been bittersweet and looking back I am happy I started not only I shared my story but I also grew as a person and I have reached a point where I love my body so much and today I want to share how you can overcome body Image issues and be confident in all that you do.
This topic is dear to my heart, I always love talking about self love, confidence and finding your voice you can read similar blogs here:
In this era of social media, it is so hard not to compare yourself with other people on our timelines, sometimes you can feel like a failure when you see others hitting the gym, looking healthier, eating healthy and you are just there and can’t even stick to a routine. I understand you and today I am going to share with you 3 easy ways to overcome body issues and be more confident in your body.
BEING CONFIDENT IS A JOURNEY
Before you jump into a new routine or challenge that can help you become a better version of you, you need to understand that being confident is a journey, a process.
You have to keep showing up for yourself to be confident in YOU, doing what everyone is doing without fully committing to it will not change anything, understand that sometimes you will be confident and other days you will not be that way. Give yourself grace throughout the journey and go by the motto of showing up for yourself daily it doesn’t matter how big or small but do show up for yourself.
Most of those BETTER YOU challenge teach you the discipline of showing up for you and respecting your routines, when I started doing these challenges I just did them for the fun of just doing them or creating content but now I have reached a point where I know that whenever you decide to hit the gym, sleep early you are doing it FOR YOU, your own good nobody else and that is the best gift you can give yourself, so start showing up for yourself.
Stop postponing things, making excuses, invest in yourself because your life depend on it.
CONFIDENCE START WITHIN YOU
Confidence is a way of living, it starts within you, it start with you. Stop waiting for outside validation to be confident in yourself.
Give yourself compliments, love on you, take yourself on a date, talk nicely to yourself, love yourself. Sometimes we are not confident because we dont love ourselves, we never take time to admire this beautiful bodies that hosts us. Today I encourage you to look yourself in the mirror and give yourself 5 compliments of things you love on yourself. Make it a habit and trust me it will change a lot.
DEFINE YOUR OWN BEAUTIFUL
Nobody is perfect, even those people we praise on social media they are not perfect. As human beings we are created to always want more, you might see someone driving your dream car and you will think they have it all but deep down they are planning and wanting the next BIG thing so babe just know we are going thru life the same way as you are.
Define what beauty means for you, what do you want for yourself? How would you like to show up? How do you want to dress and represent yourself in the society? Define your version of beauty and start showing up as her.
This is why i love Penelope from Bridgeton, when the society had set the standard of what beautiful was, she decided to find her own voice and define who she was despite the standards that were already set for her and that is what i wish for you.
Find your own beautiful and start showing up as her, there is no ideal body size, skin tone or even hair type we are all uniquely beautiful and made in the image of God so sis from now on silence those negative voice in your mind and create your own version of beauty that makes you happy.
I hope today’s blog inspires you to be kind to yourself and extend grace to those areas where you need support, you are seen, loved, and appreciated! Keep showing up for yourself !!!!
