Not everyone wants to be a model on the cover of a magazine, but every #woman somehow wants to feel that they could be if they wanted to. We want to think we can be confident enough to hold a pose, make eye contact with any lens we face and be open to scrutiny of any kind.


And we can. All it takes is just some confidence.


Are you wondering how you can step up and be the confident woman you want to be?

Turn down all the negative voices in your life

It could be your mother/sister/friend/partner/boss. Negative comments are always going to give you pause, make you doubt. And the more you hear the more you pause and doubt, until pretty soon you cannot do anything right anymore. Turn off the negative talk. Refuse to listen to it.



Discover yourself


Sometimes it feels like we know more about our BFFs than ourselves. Who are you? Get to know yourself as if getting to know a friend. You’re worth the attention. You’ll be surprised to discover you have probably been selling yourself short.



Don't tell yourself short. Take time to discover yourself, and find out who you truly are.

Set the real you free


Have you been bending over backwards trying to please everyone and anyone, while compromising your worth, beliefs or abilities? Cut it out. Be yourself. Be who you know you can be. Stop holding yourself back and soar.


Stand up for yourself

Don’t back down from what you feel and believe to be true. Allow yourself to be adamant, even when you are in the minority. Don’t let yourself be tempted to fit in. Stand out. Take your own side, be your own cheerleader.



Stand up for yourself. Keep your head up!

Give yourself a break


Confidence is not perfection. You will be wrong sometimes, you will make mistakes too. But that doesn’t make you any less special than you really are. You are you, flaws and all. Embrace them, keep your head high.
