Dolls and Gents welcome back :) So so so excited to be back in the blogging world, as Ross once said:
....... But we're back on track !
How to Gain Confidence Back:
Sometimes in life we tend to lose a sense of who we are, it can be down to various reasons, however, at the time it can feel like we will never return to the person we once were, but believe you can and you will. Here are a few tips to get your confidence back!
1. Cut out negative thoughts:
Easier said than done I know, but we are our own worst critics. Without thinking we can constantly put ourselves down with thoughts 'I can't do that', 'I'm too stupid' , 'I hate this body part' and so on. A negative input is a negative output. A simple technique is to write down all negative thoughts and rip the page up, or every negative thought you have to do a sit up! Constantly think good thoughts and you will find yourself in a much more happy and healthy place!

2.Compliment yourself:
Us Irish folk have such a bad habit not taking compliments but you know what there is no better person to compliment you but yourself. Compliment yourself at the start and the end of every day. At the start of the day, say how you will make today a good day and at the end of the day, say what you did well, what you liked about yourself or a certain skill you gained in that day. Don't rely on others to shape you as a person, you and only you can do that!
Take risks:
Being stuck in the same rut all day everyday it can get tiring and boring, leading us to lack confidence and stick to being inside the box rather than outside. It can be something simple like cutting your hair, taking up an afternoon class, going to a festival, a holiday adventure or even a day adventure. These simple things will help you gain your inner strength back as there is nothing worse than hiding away, not showing the world your beautiful self!
Exercise:
The simple task of exercising can be a lifesaver to those with self confidence issues. The benefits of exercise is endless! Exercise helps reduce stress and releases happy chemicals 😊 Regarding self confidence, if you are like myself and are EXTREMELY self conscious,exercise is perfect. Regardless of your weight, height,appearance, etc,exercise for me personally gives me great self worth and self love. I do hate going to the gym at the start and tend to shout endlessly at the trainer (Apologies), but feel great afterwards! Exercise improves your confidence and your your physical health- it's a win-win!
Smiling and Laughing:
Smiling and Laughing help release endorphins that reduce stress and produce positive vibes! So stick on your favourite comedy or meet up with a loved one and LOL and smile til your heart's content! You will be feeling confident in no time!
Stop Comparing and Be Yourself:
Young people today are constantly comparing themselves to others and also 'Branding' themselves on social media. It's important to know that everyone in this world is different and unique and that's what makes the world the beautiful place that it is. Stop trying to be others and be yourself. You will feel so much happier not pretending to be someone you're not! Always remember - You are an amazing person!
Hope this helped anyway possible, my next Wednesday Wisdom will be discussing reducing anxiety and stress!
See you for Surprise Friday and thank you so much for reading.
Love Always,
Niamh
