====== Be Nice To Yourself And Your Confidence Will Rise

Last year I began accepting guest and collaborative posts. I will continue to do that this year. Please welcome today's contributor.

Are you nice to yourself? It’s probably not a question that you are used to being asked, but you should still think about the answer carefully. A lot of the time we spend too much of our thoughts on how we treat others, so we forget to ensure we treat ourselves nicely too. However, this could be one of the reasons for your low levels of self confidence, so it’s time to make a change. In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the things that you are going to need to do in order to ensure that you are being nice to yourself, so keep reading if you would like to find out more.

Tell Yourself You Are Enough

One of the things that you should ensure that you are doing on a regular basis is telling yourself that you are enough, because you are. There are no ifs and there are no buts, you are simply good enough the way that you are. If you tell yourself this over and over again, even if you don’t believe it in the start, eventually it will be in your head enough and you will start to see that it is true. You don’t have to do anything to be good enough, you simply have to be.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t look the way that other people look, or you don’t act the way other people act. As long as you are living and breathing, you are already enough. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, and certainly don’t tell yourself otherwise.

Treat Yourself Every Now And Again

Another thing that you can do is treat yourself every now and then. Why do you have to wait for someone else to be nice to you? Why can’t you simply treat yourself, do nice things for yourself and be nice to yourself. Your worth is not measured by someone else’s ability to see it, so stop waiting around. Instead of waiting for someone to send you flowers, head to a small family run flower shop and buy yourself some. You will make your day and their day by choosing a small store rather than a large retailer. Or, you can buy yourself something that you really wanted as a treat.

Give Yourself Grace

Finally, give yourself grace. You’re allowed to make mistakes. You’re allowed to get things wrong. You’re allowed to be different. You’re allowed to be you. Give yourself grace for not being perfect, and see that you don’t have to be in order to be good enough.

We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you need to do in order to be nice to yourself. Sometimes this can feel like the hardest thing in the world, we know, but we promise that it isn't. Being nice to yourself should be something that you do without being reminded, but once you do manage to start, your confidence is going to soar. We wish you the very best of luck, and hope that you can do this without many problems.

  1. I am usually MUCH less nice to me than I am to others. Mind you, I don't see the link between it and confidence.

  2. Amen to this. If we take care of ourselves it makes taking care of others far more successful.

    Have a fabulous day. ♥
