Tips on Boosting Self Confidence

 Hello peeps! Above is just a few shots I took at my new house, hee hee. I'm enjoying the place so far...

Anyway, I talked  to a friend recently about self confidence. We had both admitted to lacking it during our teen years, but with some work, regained it. Today I will share a few simple tips on how to have good self confidence (in no particular order). Already do? Well, these tips may still come in handy before a job interview, or any other moment when many of us are not at our best in the self confidence department. 

1) The Mirror: This is my Ace, so i've decided to share it first. When I lacked self confidence, what helped me the most was my bathroom mirror each morning. I made sure to point out something nice about myself that day. If my skin seemed prettier than normal, I would point that out (I have eczema on my face, so pretty skin meant a lot to me). If my hair looked healthy and shiny, or soft, or perhaps I managed to get my hair into a pretty hairstyle, I would tell myself that. If I had put together a nice outfit, I could point that out to myself too. There are plenty of things one can point out about themselves..just look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself what's pretty that day. 

2) The Mirror - Improvement: If "The Mirror" works for you, which I have good faith that it will, then i'd take it a step further by making small self improvements. Again, nothing wrong with caring about your looks. If a certain facial scrub worked the day before, i'd of course try it again the next day for the same "pretty skin" effect. If I liked my hairstyle the day before, I would fix it up the same way the next day. With this, I might add a little lipgloss. I'm not big on makeup, especialllyyyyy with my eczema, but a little makeup isn't a bad thing. I also began to put more effort into my outfits by planning them out better, and adding accessories. This way, slowly, you learn what kinds of things work for you and bring out your best features. By being able to look in the mirror and like what you see is a tremendous confidence booster. It's about doing your best to knock out as many physical insecurities that you have about yourself. Not everything can be changed, and i'm not saying go get plastic surgery or anything, but little changes really do help. I was born with a twisted leg, but I focus on my other good physical points so that it bothers me less. Focus on improving what you can so that you don't let physical differences put you down. 

3) Inner Beauty - If you can point out what's good about you on the outside, what about the inside? Think about those good things that make you...you. I'm a humorous person, so that's a strong point about me. Kyle mentioned just yesterday about how I am able to make jokes about myself. I know how to laugh at myself if that situation arises, or make a joke about myself if i see room for one. I'm also honest...some may say that i'm brutally honest...probably true. But I see it as a strong point because so many people ask me for advice or for my opinion and know that they're not going to get a false or sugar-coated answer. Things like this are what make me, me. Think about your inner qualities that are good. Just thinking about them can help boost your confidence because it reminds you that you're special, and have natural gifts. You could even take things a step further, and seek out friends who share similar qualities, even if it's just on the internet. 

4) Be Thankful - Okay...so your life isn't perfect. Whose is? So...you've had a very hard life? Well, you've prevailed. If you suspect that things that have happened to you are whats holding you back, you must let them go. They're in the past, this is your present. If you're in a good relationship, have awesome friends, a job, a good skill, a fun hobby? Anything like this is something to be grateful for. Sit down and think or write out a list every now and then about what has happened recently that you have to be thankful for. This will help to remind you that your life isn't completely full of bad things. And if you honestly can't think of anything good going for you right now, then get up and start a hobby. You can go to the gym and work out a few times a week, you can go help out at shelters and schools, pick up fishing, hiking, building model airplanes or make paper dolls... Well hey, you're in Second Life; start building, or join a club and start working. Try and remember that, most likely, something good is in your life, you just have to remember what those things are. 

5) Whoops! Oh well. - Not all mistakes can be dismissed...if you did something to piss off the love of your life and he/she leaves you, that's not the easiest to shrug off...But, some things are easy to shrug off. If my blog photos don't turn out the best, I just tell myself "better luck next time". I don't sweat it. Don't get me wrong; I love this blog with my heart and soul, but I will not let it stress me out too much. I know that i'm not perfect, but that's okay. No one is. This sort of goes hand in hand with "being thankful". If I mess up on a set of blog photos for an entry, I remind myself that the last entry or one before it was wonderful, and that i'm not perfect so every picture won't turn out the same. If you messed up on something not major, let it go. You're not a total failure because of a little slip-up. Remember those things that you're thankful for in your life; those things that are going good for you. 

6) Make Believe - Last but not least, it is more than okay to pretend like you have self confidence.  This step was pretty big for me too. I acted like I had more self confidence that I really had. No, I didn't act like some over-confident jerk, but I also made the effort to let go of my shyness, and tried to open up to people more. I even admit that i'm still not the best in this area, but i'm getting better all the time. By acting like you have confidence, it can trick the brain into thinking you have said confidence. You'll start to become comfortable with having self confidence, and start to become comfortable being you. If you're willing to give this a try, it also may help if you know someone who tends to know a lot of people. Kyle knows a nice amount of people, so he's like my wing-man. Because I go places with him, if he sees someone he knows he'll introduce them to me. I then radiate my confidence to try and knock away some of my shyness, and well..I've gained a few friends thanks to him and my effort. Please don't confuse this with trying to be said friend. It's important to be YOU. If you find yourself defining you with what you see your friend in, or the way he or she behaves, that's just copying. If they have their hair a certain way/color, have a certain taste in accessories, or a certain overall style..yes it may work for them, and people may love them for it, but it's important to find your own style. No one wants someone else trying to be them. So make believe yes, but come up with your own style

Regaining and maintaining self confidence isn't easy, trust me. And no, it's not going to happen over night. But remember that little changes can lead to big changes. Try adding these steps to your daily routine, try talking about your self confidence issues with a therapist or a close friend or family member. You loosing your self confidence probably wasn't your fault, but no one but you can get it back. I know plenty of people who think that they can find self confidence if they have a boyfriend, girlfriend, or just plain friends to tell them they're attractive and compliment them, or think that substance abuse is the way to go. These things will just delay you on your path to self confidence, and usually tend to do more harm than good. Love you first, inside and out, as much as possible. You have to stand on your own two feet. Work on a better you.

We're Not All the Same

Inu's showing signs of..hunger? Poor little skinny Inu.

 I'm thin in real life..very thin. People think that I don't eat or something. They tell me "you should eat more", and "you're too thin". Who are you? The weight police? I'm happy with my thinness. It's not like I starve myself. I eat, trust me. I just don't really gain weight. Often times I struggle to keep on pounds, and never have I struggled to loose weight.

What I'm saying is, that we're all different. We come in all sorts of shapes, and our workings on the inside are different. Come on people, stop "assuming" things. Should you ask why someone is so thin? Ha, should you ask why someone is heavy-set? It's rude. People should mind their own business. It's okay to wonder in ones head about something such as someones weight, height, or physical disability, but the minute that thought crosses ones lips, they have crossed the line. How is it any of their business? Okay, so maybe one knows better than to say anything, but plenty of people like to stare at others too. I would think that their mothers would have taught them at a very young age that, "it's not polite to stare". Some people act like a little difference is a major disruption in their life. No, it's not that serious. If said people actually had a life, they would realize how trivial a little difference is.

We're not all the same.

Lemon Fizz

You poke out your tongue,
and hold the chilled bottle mere
centimeters from your lips.

You slowly tilt the bottle,
your tastebuds dancing
with anticipation.

Your mouth begins to water;
the very aroma coming from the bottle
wakes up your entire mouth.

You allow a drop to reach your pallid.
It's extremely sour, and sends a shiver up your spine.

You remember that familiar taste,
and the corners of your mouth raise.

You like the taste that sour, lemon fizz.

--------

Been a while since a poem, hasn't it? Haha. What is "lemon fizz"? Lemon soda? I dunno, it's the name of the eyeshadow Inu's wearing, lol. Yellow is my second LEAST favorite color, butttt it is always good to broaden your color choices when blogging.  Heck, I could probably have a blog with mainly blues and pinks but well...i'm trying to be a little more creative and open-minded here. I actually enjoyed this outfit, and i've even saved this outfit; it is something that i'm sure to wear again when i'm not blogging, haha.



I've tried like..a small editorial-style image, as you can see...My first one ever, so pleeaassee don't criticize me to much, lol. I know it's not the best. Will I do more? Well, I think I prefer single images, but well...every once in a while? Why not?

The shoes are called "Heart" by CHANDELLE, and they are new! Yus, more new shoess! \o/ They come in a rannggeee of colors, and the soles/bottoms of them color change, and there is a resize script, so you don't have to worry about them being too big or too small, yay! \o/

As a final note, I would like to give a salute to the store Hebenon Vial, which is closing...One of my favorite stores in SL...Sad to see it go. :'( *salute*
