Those of you who know me personally will know that having confidence within myself has been something I've struggled with for a long time. Over recent months, I have managed to build up my self confidence and self esteem, and I honestly feel the best I've ever felt. It really is mind over matter, and accepting the fact that we all have good days whether we like it or not.
Putting yourself in the right mindset is key. "I look good today" will give you a whole better outlook than "meh, I guess I look okay today" and will leave you feeling so much better about yourself. Once that's over with, the rest of the day seems to come easier because you can hold your head up high knowing you look good and that as long as you think you do, no-one else can bring you down. Who cares what anyone else thinks? If you think you rock whatever you're wearing then that's fine! No-one else's opinion matters. All that matters is that you're 100% content with yourself and your appearance.
This is something I've been getting my head round recently, and I feel much more confident within myself and when going out because of it, and it all comes down to simply being in the right mindset! I genuinely thought it would be impossible for me to go out feeling comfortable with how I look, but the more often I repeat things like "you know what, I look good today' and so on, the better I feel about myself. Some people will try and say that it's 'big-headed' or 'cocky' but it's really not. It's simply self love, and self love is something that I (and many others) have neglected for a very very long time.
Body confidence is key to surviving in a society like ours, and no-one, and I mean no-one should be made to feel so shit about themselves that they have no confidence at all.
