Questioning ourselves and worry is a common human experience. What are some ways we can increase our confidence level and minimize our stress and anxieties?

1. Sitting and standing up tall. Good posture really does affect how we feel about ourselves. It affects how others perceive us as well.
2. Dress well. I don’t mean to dress up (I am a very casual person). But know what looks good on your body type, what colors suit you,  develop your own personal style, and dress with flair and confidence!
3. Help others. There is just something about getting out of ourselves a bit to focus on and help others that makes us feel better about ourselves.
4. Move. Fit bodies exude health and confidence.
5. Make good food choices. We are not going to feel our best if we are eating a steady diet of junk food.
6. Smile! (even if you don’t feel like it).
7. Get a good quality haircut.
8. Wear a fragrance that just makes you feel fabulous!
9. Plan a vacation or adventure. Having something to look forward to makes you feel happier and perkier.
10. Make eye contact with people and find something to sincerely compliment them on.
11. Focus on something you are really passionate about. Stick with it!
12. Accept and love the special people in your life (including yourself!)
