Confident and Radiant- 5 Sure-Fire Ways
By
Sylvia C. Hall
With just a sprinkle here, and
a dash there, you can awaken your inner confidence in no time. The best
part: there is already a treasure of confidence within you. It’s in
there, waiting. This is just an invitation to wake up and feel it.
Confidence is a state of mind. Sexiness is simply how you feel as your
glowing, confident self. Use these tips to bring out your most confident
self.
Here they are: 5 sure-fire ways to help you REALIZE your beautiful glow.
1. Embrace you body.
Everyone has a favorite body part. Maybe it’s your eyes, or your
thighs, or your hands or your breasts. Maybe it’s your rump, or your
lips, or your…whatever. Embrace your favorite part by accentuating this
part with how you dress and care for yourself. Serenade yourself with
confidence once you learn your favorite part. This is a magical
attribute, which deserves some light to be shone on it. Focus on the
good, and the rest will soon fall in place.
2. Dance.
Use music to unleash your confidence beast. She’s in there. She’s
waiting to get out. Dance her out. You can dance like no one’s watching
or dance like everyone’s watching. It’s up to you. You can follow your
inner diva to create a unique dance made solely by you, or utilize the
many sources the web has to offer by self-teaching yourself new moves of
belly dancing, hip-hop or interpretive dance. Embrace your body as you
move. Treat your body as an art as you swerve your way to your newfound
confidence.
3. Give Compliments Freely.
Other women you meet may have confidence issues, too. Infact, it is
likely. And the strangest thing is that even the most beautiful, skinny,
likeable women have self-esteem issues. Confidence is an attribute,
which must come from within. Without it, you will never feel pretty
enough, thin enough, or good enough. If you start giving compliments to
other women, you are leading by example. We are in this together. We can
learn to be beautiful together. Say goodbye to the days where other
women are competition. The most confident women know it is sexy to give
compliments and embrace the beauty in everyone.
4. Love your body now.
Don’t wait until it’s 15 (or 5 or 50) pounds lighter; don’t wait
until you get your new haircut or give yourself a manicure. Although it
is important to take care of our selves, so many women see it as a
precursor to loving our selves. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
If you love your body now, you will intuitively know what else needs to
be done to remain healthy and vibrant. Yes, perhaps you do need that
massage after a killer week at work. No, most likely you don’t need that
nose job if you can fully embrace your unique God-given look as an
original woman in her own sexy skin.
5. Don’t point out your flaws.
If I constantly said: “I have such a flabby gut. Ughh, I hate my
stomach. Look at these rolls…” Well, guess where you will soon be
looking? Yep, you guessed it: my flabby rolls. Stop bringing attention
to these “not-so-favorite” areas. Go back to rule #1. Embrace your body.
If you have trouble with this rule, please continue to check back with
rule #1. Embrace, embrace, embrace.
As you can see these five ideas are fairly simple. But how often do we
forget to embrace our bodies and shine from within? Use these ideas to
stay on top of your confidence game. In no time, you’ll get be confident
and radiant and you’ll be soaring to new heights of beauty from your
treasure of inner confidence.
