Find Your Confidence and You’ll Find Your Power 3 Ways to Give Yourself a Boost

W e’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: There’s nothing more important than a loving mindset. If you don’t love yourself, embrace yourself, and believe in yourself, then you’ll hold yourself back on your journey toward health and happiness. When the holidays hit, it can be easy to let self-love and self-confidence slide. Maybe you have critical in-laws, you gained a few pounds, or your cooking didn’t turn out just right. If you’ve been beating yourself up for months, it’s time to turn that negativity around! This February, work on falling back in love with yourself using these three methods. Point out the positive. If you catch yourself engaging in negative self-talk — calling yourself names, for example, or criticizing your appearance — put the

brakes on your thoughts and turn them around. Instead of telling yourself you look tired, think, “I am a warrior who worked through the night.” Surrounding yourself with positivity consistently can alter your whole mindset. Make time for movement. If you aren’t already moving your body daily, take the time to do it! Endless studies prove that exercising can clear your mind, decrease your stress, and make you happier. Movement releases endorphins that make you feel good and awaken you to the deep parts of who you are. Once you see yourself, you’ll be a step closer to loving yourself! Visualize your future self. Speaking of seeing yourself, make it a habit this month to take a few minutes a day to visualize the future. Picture yourself full of confidence with a healthy body and a

healthy, loving mind. How does this future you behave? How do you speak, talk, and move? Once you see it, invite those behaviors into your daily life. As Danette puts it, “Mindset is so critical to your success. If you do not have this one, all your houses of cards are going to fall.” The reverse is true, too: When you feel you can trust and rely on yourself, you’ll be well on your way to discovering your truth! For more tips on boosting your self-love, check out Danette’s video, “How to Build Self- Confidence,” on YouTube. You can never love yourself too much!
