Fake it Till You Make it: 10 Ways to Feel Confident (Even When You Aren’t)

  1. It's not about you. Understand people's actions, even when hurtful, rarely have anything to do with you.
  2. Buy clothes that fit. Wearing clothes that fit well and flatter, no matter the shape of your body, provides an enormous boost to your self esteem.
  3. Keep laughing. Laughter releases some of the tension that invariably builds in your body each day.
  4. Embrace the quiet. Realize you can be comfortable alone with your thoughts and you will provide your internal processes the space needed to develop.
  5. Make a budget. Claiming control of your finances is an early step to a healthy attitude about money. 
  6. Don't gossip. Exit conversations that swim in hearsay.
  7. Do as you say and say as you do. Whatever your goals, find something you truly desire, make a promise to see it through to the end, then feel the confidence of success.
  8. Make peace with your body. Confidence comes with the understanding that no matter your size, shape you are a person who deserves love.
  9. Realize you know more than you think you do.
  10. Be enthusiastic. Be happy and excited, and allow the world to see it.

7 Ways To Stay Grounded by Staying Organized

  1. Make your bed every day. Creating order and peacefulness in the bedroom.
  2. Clean up your kitchen every day. Having a clean and orderly kitchen calms the part of the house most associated with nurturance and comfort, also calming you.
  3. Have morning and evening routines.
  4. Sort your mail daily.
  5. Keep paper in no more than two main locations, for example, the kitchen and the home office.
  6. Maintain order by putting things away all the time. Avoid the temptation to just drop things. It takes much more energy to pick them up than it does to drop them.
  7. Do at least one 5 minute cleanup per day. Either start or end your day with a quick cleanup.
