As a woman, we may sometimes feel like we aren’t good enough. Those thoughts are detrimental to your self-esteem, confidence and self-worth. Today, I’m going to teach you how to be confident in yourself as a woman.
You may think that you aren’t enough or that you aren’t worthy of love but you are. I’m sure you have a lot of friends and family who love and care about you.
To be confident in who you are means that you do not have insecurities about yourself. You don’t feel like you are not important and you know or realize your worth.
That’s the first step to becoming more confident in yourself as a woman.
Realize Your Worth
If you don’t know your own worth, you really can’t expect others to.
You have to realize your worth by all means necessary.
Understand what it is that you stand for as a woman.
What makes you who you are and think about what makes you different from others.
How do you stand out from the crowd. Because honey, you were born to stand out, not fit in.
The sooner you start realizing your worth the sooner you start to gain confidence.
Be Patient
Confidence is not something that you will gain overnight.
It’s a constant exercise and a lot of work.
But I promise you it is worth it.
You have to be patient.
Confidence takes time.
There is really no way around it.
No matter what you do, you have to be patient.
Work at it constantly, yes.
Do things that make you feel good and confident about yourself.
Which brings me to my next point.
Don’t Rely on Material Things
I think some women are confused about what makes them confident as women.
We live in a world where emphasis is placed on looks. You have to have your wig laid, your face beat, and your lashes on fleek to feel good about yourself, according to the opinions of the world.
But this is not true.
Couldn’t be further from the truth, actually.
Wigs, lashes, makeup and no other superficial material things can make you feel real confidence as a woman.
You see, real confidence is so much more deeper than all of those things.
Yes, these things can make you feel good about yourself to a certain extent.
But how do you feel when you no longer have those things on?
Do you still feel like a bad chick or do you now feel like an ugly duckling?
It is probably the latter.
I hear so many other women downing themselves when their hair isn’t done or they don’t have any makeup or lashes on.
It is one thing to have to deal with other women and other people tearing you down.
But it is a whole different ball game when you are beating yourself down.
Putting on a nice dress can make you feel confident but what do you feel like in a t-shirt and a pair of jogging pants?
See, these are the kind of things you have to consider before you say you are a confident woman.
I don’t wear makeup or wigs but I am confident in myself as a woman but it took time for me to get here.
I use to down myself and I felt bad about the way I looked because I didn’t look like every other female.
But now, I know that those things do not define me as a woman. And I am comfortable and happy in who I am.
Change Your Mindset
In your mind, you’re probably telling yourself all kind of things that are untrue.
These things could be eating away at your mental and making you feel like less of a person.
Self-defeating thoughts are what get in our way most times.
How you fight against this is by changing your mindset.
Shifting your mindset is important if you are going to feel good about yourself.
You have to erase and get rid of all those thoughts that are telling you anything but good thoughts.
Your mindset is everything, especially when it comes to having confidence.
How you look at yourself depends a lot on your mindset.
Don’t Think Too Much of Yourself
Part of being a confident woman is to not think too much of yourself.
You can be confident but you shouldn’t be overly confident.
Being confident means knowing your worth but also realizing your flaws and limitations.
Of course you can do things to make yourself feel more confident but it should never be at the expense of someone else.
We don’t step on others to boost ourselves up.
You can be confident without being cocky or arrogant. There is a difference.
When you are confident in yourself as a woman, you don’t have to be mean or bitter towards others.
To be confident doesn’t mean to think you are all that. You think enough of yourself to have a healthy view of you and everything you stand for but you don’t think too much of yourself.
Don’t Be Brought Down By The Way Others View You
People are going to dislike you and some people are going to hate you for no reason.
That is not for you to worry about. Their problems is just that, their problems.
You can’t be worried about how others are viewing you when there is no real cause for it.
I’m not saying to be selfish and just disregard the thoughts, feelings and opinions of others.
But what I am saying is that not everyone has your best interest in mind. Steer clear of individuals who don’t mean you well and only want to try and bring you down.
Final Takeaway
There are so many more ways to be confident in yourself as a woman.
