The Mental War: Insecurity vs. Positivity


You know that little voice in your head that tells you negative things about yourself? Yep, that one. Guess what? It's evil. To be honest, it's a plague. 

Being told bad things about yourself by yourself isn't right, is it? It shouldn't be. That voice in your head is a liar. No, you're not fat. No, you're not ugly. No! The way you talk to yourself truly matters. Be kind to your mind. Be kind to your body. 

Life is so short, and you're really going to believe you're not good enough as long as you live? Nope, cut that out! It's time for a change. It's time to take action. 

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to train your brain. Why? It's simply because you deserve to feel confident. You also deserve to feel happy in who you are as a person! 

We all have something we're insecure about... That's normal. Yet, don't let it rule you. Don't let it impact your relationships or disrupt your quality of life. Building self esteem is essential to being secure in oneself. Once you find your worth, you'll live a happier life. 

How do you become more confident? 

Well, first you have to be aware of your insecurities. Assess what makes you insecure. If you can, cut off the sources. For instance, unfollow people on social media who you tend to compare yourself to. 

Affirmations are huge! Feed yourself positivity. Look in the mirror, and tell yourself how cute you are. Tell yourself the positive version of your insecurity. You may not believe it at first, but practice makes perfect. 

I wrote some affirmations on notecards and taped them to my mirror. Looking at those kind words everyday as I look in the mirror has made me feel better. 

The self love journey isn't linear. Some days will be worse than others. Some days will be better than others. What is important is that you keep at it, and never give up. 

You have the ability to change how you feel about yourself. Will you ruminate in insecurity or make an active effort to grow confidence? Who will win, the insecurity or the positivity? The choice is yours. 

With love,
