Not Feeling Confident?

This is a question I ask myself daily. Although I know I have came a long way with my wellness journey and healing journey overall, this is something I still struggle with. It shouldn’t be something people are ashamed to express, because everyone has had the struggle of feeling confident at some point in life. Not feeling confident is oneself comparing how they look to others, and often wishing they looked like or had something they do. There is a quote that I live by, “comparison is the enemy of creativity”, this may seem slightly cliché, but it send’s a bigger message. Everyone is unique in their own way, but that is the beauty of us as humans, that is the beauty of the freedom to express yourself everyday.

I say this now, as someone who sometimes still struggles with confidence, but on a daily basis I often enjoy knowing that I am unique. I remind myself of that quote anytime I am feeling down. I large part of healing is being okay with who you are, and knowing there is only one of you.

I encourage those out there who don’t feel confident in their own skin, or maybe what they are wearing/ how they look, to take the leap and do something out of your confront zone. This may seem very scary at first, but trust me when I saw that I am someone who hates change and getting out of my own comfort zone. But I can promise you one thing and that is, nobody is watching. Most of the time we think all eyes are on us when we feel insecure, but a majority of the time it’s the complete opposite.

Everyone is in their own world, dealing with their own burdens and so are we. So once you can see that you can walk with confidence and take on the day.

Always remember to stay true to yourself :)

You are your own kind of unique, and that is beautiful!
