If you’re anything like me, you might be your own worst critic because you always strive to do your best. I believe in the power of hard work and quality, so my standards are very high, especially in my professional life. However, I remind myself to slow down and give myself grace.
Your inner critic can sometimes bring down your confidence with negative thoughts. Imagine having a friend who constantly criticizes your outfit, weight, and professional choices. That’s no friend of mine!
Instead of criticizing yourself, boost your confidence by doing these 3 things!
Boost your confidence by doing these 3 things!
1. Make Time for Self-Care
We are living in an era where self-love and self-care are essential for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. When we feel burnt out, it’s crucial to schedule some personal time to reconnect with ourselves. If you’re someone whose inner critic gets louder when you’re overworked and stressed, it’s even more important to prioritize self-care. You can indulge in activities like scheduling a spa day or visiting a winery to unwind. Taking time for yourself will leave you refreshed and ready to tackle work with renewed energy.
2. Make a List
Sit in a quiet place and write down all your negative thoughts about yourself. Though it can be daunting, it’s vital to be honest with yourself. If you’re unsure how to start, try this exercise: list the negative thoughts you have about yourself and next to each item, write down an action you can take to improve. Having a plan will help you feel more in control and reduce the feeling of overwhelm.
3. Get Dressed and Show Up
We’ve all heard the saying, “when we look good, we feel good.” It’s true! When you visually see yourself looking the part, it has the power to shift something in your soul because you know you’re sending the right message. Your image and style can elevate your professional career and personal life. Never underestimate the power of an amazing outfit and an amazing first impression.
