Simple Self-Confidence Boosters

Everyone, I'd say most especially teenagers, struggle with having real self-confidence and feeling good about the persons they are. Sometimes, you need to realize you have a lot of real worth, and that's why I wrote this post. Here are some simple ways to boost your self-confidence:

1. Stop comparing yourself to others around you. That's the worst (and by looking at the media and world EVERYWHERE, its also apparently the most popular) means of examining yourself. Even "gorgeous" girls I know don't consider themselves very pretty, most likely because they compare themselves to others instead of looking in the mirror and realizing how pretty they are by themselves.
2. Realize your looks do not define you. Looks are not what make people beautiful or really that attractive to others-what will count always will be your heart, not how physically flawless you are.
3. Make a list about all the great things about yourself. Although you might not be crazy about this idea, and have no clue how to do this-its worth it and will put a smile on your face knowing you have true worth in your unique abilities. Just start by writing down your talents (how are you musically, artistically, academically or otherwise gifted?) then things about your personality, and character. Write down things that make you proud of yourself. As a minimum, write at least 10 things you like about yourself. No less than that! ;)
4. Spend some time with a friend or person who makes you feel valued as a person. I'm pretty sure we all know (at least) that one person in our lives who lights up our day just spending time with them, and who always make you feel good about yourself and give you the sense of real self-value. Make sure you're with that person (or those people you know) who are like that more times then not. :)

Hope you amazing girlies do one or more of these things, and improve your self-confidence, because no matter what, you're unique and beautiful in my opinion! :)
