Make any changes that you want
Often there are things that can have you feeling less confident and feeling low about yourself and so it might be that you want to make some changes. Of course, what you do with your body is your own personal choice. If you want to go down the route of things like breast enhancement, face lifts and body sculpting then that is your decision. But make sure you are fully informed before making such big changes. It might mean that you want teeth whitening or you want to book an appointment with a family-friendly dentist for changes to your teeth, it might mean Botox or other things like facials and chemical peels. Do what makes you happy but make sure you are knowledgeable and are making changes for yourself.
Dress for the occasion
Another thing to think about is how you look in terms of the clothes that you wear. It may sound like a small change to make, but dressing for the occasion can make a big difference to your confidence levels. Things like power dressing for the workplace and wearing a suit and smarter clothes can instantly help you to feel confident in work and ready for the day. Equally exercising and dressing in active wear may allow you to actually take that exercise, and dressing nice and feeling good in the clothes you wear can give you an instant lift with confidence and self-esteem.
Make an effort with hair and your general appearance
While you are focusing on the clothes that you wear, you may also want to look at things like your hair and general appearance. Making an effort with things like your hair, your makeup and personal hygiene can give you an extra lift with your confidence. If you look good, you feel good, which helps you to feel more confident in what you are doing.

Ditch your bad habits
Our bad habits can affect our physical and mental health, which can negatively affect our confidence and self esteem. To give your confidence a boost, make a promise to yourself to work on your bad habits, and live your best life! Some of us struggle with eating too many bad foods, and others with a lack of exercise. You might feel that you drink too much alcohol, or want to quit smoking. Most changes can be made with a little self discipline, however if you are struggling with alcohol or drugs, you might be better suited to a specialist drug treatment program.
Fake it till you make it
Finally, it is important for you to fake it until you make it. Confidence is a learnt habit, so you need to start acting this way in order for it to become a little more natural and part of who you are. Confidence doesn’t mean you are big headed or have an ego, you need to feel happy in yourself and positive and find that the confidence and self-esteem will grow with that. Small changes in your act, how you appear and how you present yourself can make a big difference.
Let’s hope these tips help you to feel confident and boost your self-esteem.
