Life Advice:Confidence & Self Love

In this age of social media some may ask if people are sill in secure and  self loathing. To this I respond now more than ever. We all doubt ourselves at times, we are humans after all. Not everyday you will feel as thou you are the brightest crayon in the box however there are people that constantly struggle with feeling of insecurity.How can we improve our self image.One of my favorite quotes says "Without confidence we are twice defeated in the race of life, With confidence you have won before you have even started"Marcus Garvey.I am a firm believer that we are our worst enemy and mental strength is just as important as physical strength.So how do we improve our self image , At this point i will state that I am not a professional but I have had little per counselling  training here and there and I have been thought many things by the greatest teacher Life.Here are a few practices I believe will assist in improving our lifes.

Comparison is the thief of Joy: DO NOT Compare your self with other , Focus on you ,make goals . Write them down look at them often and work towards them.When you have your own thing going on you will find less time to compare yourself to others.

Filter and limit some conversations: Back in the day I use to put a timer on my Nokia phone and people would get annoyed when they ask for a call and it would cut off at exactly one minute.Sometimes we must apply this same principles to our daily conversations.Do you have regular and long conversations with persons who are extremely critical. Yes criticism can be helpful but honesty most people who are sitting there being critical are those that have never attempted anything . Know who to listen to and who to limit and filter out.

Write down your accomplishments, I keep a planner for about two years now and with each year it gets a bit more organized and detailed . I really enjoy going through my planner from time to time and realizing all the things that seemed impossible to do that I actually did.

Do not rely on others for your happiness,Everyone will disappoint you. You will disappoint others do not give set unrealistic expectations for the people in your life . This will lead to disappointment.

I hope that someone found this post helpful. Remember you choose what you accept as truth be committed to you after all, you are the one living your life, do what best for you.

Blessing
