Editors Note to Women: Exude Confidence

-
CONFIDENCE-a feeling or consciousness of one's powers or of reliance on one's circumstances


I haven’t always been confident. It’s something that I’ve learned and am learning to be more of day by day . There are days when I feel great, and others when I don't (when I’ve gained a few pounds or struggle with hormonal acne), However; even when I feel this way
 I just can't stay there.
, I have to pick myself up. Here’s a few things I do to increase my self- confidence.  
I hope they work for you too.

1.Read and Listen to Motivational Books and Videos- I am currently reading Woman Evolve by Sarah Jakes Robert’s and listen to Grace for Purpose videos on YouTube for inspiration. The two remind me how God sees me and how my confidence should be in Him rather than just myself.

2. Listen to music that makes me feel confident like this playlist here. I made this for you “).

3. Spa Day - I like  to treat myself to manicures and pedicures at the nail salon , but sometimes I do them at home . I buy some epsom salt, nail polish, cotton pads, a nail file , remover, and a pumice stone (all of these things can be found at the dollar store), and  fill the bathtub with warm water, add a 1/2 cup of epsom salt and boom, a DIY pedicure  .  If you try this at home I suggest lighting a candle and playing some music in the background while your feet soak as it helps to create a nice ambiance.

4.Get Dolled Up and Take Pictures-  Sometimes I liked to get dressed and take “selfies” . It’s my own personal photo-shoot. I put on my favorite outfit , lipstick, spray on some perfume, and may even have a glass of wine . The self timer option on the camera has become my new best friend . Who needs a photographer ? :)

5. “ Me Time” Date -  Sometimes I treat myself and have food delivered but if I feel like cooking I prepare my favorite dish of baked salmon , mashed sweet potatoes and broccoli with a glass of Shiraz red wine or seltzer on the side .  After eating I watch  a movie ( most likely an African movie on Netflix),  because that’s my thing .


What are some things you do to exude confidence ? Please share in the comments .

Be Encouraged,

1)   Who are you? I'm Lauren Thomas, a native and  resident of Indianapolis, Indiana. I have my own business in marketing which I found through my love for writing. I've had a love f0r writing since I was a child and have been blessed to be able to figure out a way to monetize that. I am also a mother. I have a six-year-old daughter named Hunter. She lights up my life with her funny, yet “diva-ish” personality.  2) What is your blog, program, agency, organization about? When did it start ? I started my journey as a blogger in January of 2018. Later that year, from the advice of my mom, I made a Fiverr account and started my career as a freelance writer. From there on,  my clients and services grew. I am approaching my third year in business, and while it can be stressful; I am very proud of how far I’ve come.  My blog is a predominately lifestyle blog and can be found at www.laurenenchanted.co .

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge you. Here is a dozen of blue roses, for all that you are and do. Blue roses represent uniqueness. They are a way to tell someone that they are extraordinary. May your heart always remember these words and may you always be encouraged. God is by your side, and if you do the right thing and honor Him, He will always fight for you . 1. You are courageous, you are strong. 2. You have drive, you persevere. 3. You work hard, you never give up. 4. You take care of your loved ones. 5. You care for your friends. 6. You are a provider. 7. You are a protector. 8. You make the home feel safe. 9. I see you. 10. I hear you. 11. You are powerful. 12. Believe. Psalm 96:6 Splendor and majesty   are before him;   strength and glory are in his sanctuary. Be Encouraged, Noelani
