How do you ladies keep your confidence high?

Affirmations. Trust me, they work amazingly well. There are YouTube videos that specialise in all kinds of affirmations (beauty, career, relationships, etc). Just let them play while you’re relaxing or doing chores and repeat after them. My whole internal dialogue is so much more positive and it is honestly fun.

Always be grateful. Look at the things and the traits you have. Look at how far you've improved. Look at the lives you've changed and are impacting. We will always compare ourselves to others, that's completely normal... but something we should always remember is that our journeys our uniquely our own. When I get into a grateful mindset, it's easier to be happy wherever I am right now. As long as you're keeping it moving and looking forward to things, you will be good.

Fake it. Even when I feel like my self esteem is low, logically I know I’m better than that. So I just keep acting like it. My ego and my insecurities are constantly at war with each other. I have to step back sometimes and analyze whether I’m justified or if I’m just being an insecure baby.

I surround myself with the most incredible women. In my weakest moments, I have no shortage of amazing ladies to support me and remind me I'm a kick ass boss who doesn't take shit. Build the best support system possible, and it's impossible to not be confident.

I sometimes dive into a hobby that gets me out of my own head for a bit: for me it's singing. I'm NOT a professional, but just focusing on breathing technique or harmonizing with my favorite song (blared through my apartment) helps me put the negative thoughts out of my head. If you have something, anything that gives you this kind of zen and shuts off that negative internal monologue, do it.

It's a process but one thing I've been working on that is helping me is learning to say no to things. Learn to reject things. I was always one to say yes to pretty much everything from propositions to invitations to whatever else, I was afraid of missing out or locking out any potential opportunity. Now, if it doesn't meet a pre specified standard or expectation I've set, I just say no. It was hard at first, I'd feel guilty, but I've noticed my happiness, sense of worth, and quality of life increase with these filters in place. I'm not compromising my standards anymore.

Plus, nothing sucks worse than lowering your standards for someone and still being rejected by them in the end. Ugh! Keep your standards high, ladies!

Everyday before work, I give myself a pep talk in the mirror.

“Girl, you got this day in the bag. Don’t nobody get under your skin. You’re not perfect but you’re just right for yourself.”

At night,

“We made it! You handle yourself like a boss. I’m proud you!!”
