Self-Confidence

                      Hello you guys!!! Ok so for this weeks post I'm going to talk about Self-confidence. It's something some people have/had problems with, such as myself, so I'm going to talk about it a bit. First things first what is self-confidence? Well self-confidence goes hand in hand with two main things: Self-efficacy and self-esteem.

               Self-efficacy in a few words reflects confidence and has the ability to control one's motivation and behavior. Oppose to self-esteem, it reflects a person's judgment of oneself. As in how you perceive yourself in your own eyes.

                     As for myself, I was not one to always have these traits as a child. I had low self-esteem for almost everything about myself. I didn't like my smile, my hair, or my weight. As years went by all my teeth came in and it closed my gap, I went to the beautician to manage my hair, and I started exercising more to lose the weight. It took me a few years to gain confidence in myself, learn who I am, and value me as a person.

I actually came a long way of being bullied, judged, and looked down upon. Bullied for being overweight and having acne. Still to this day I'm trying to get rid of my acne though. I started using Murad and I must say its working pretty well. So don't give up just yet. Also if you can't change something then embrace it and make it beautiful Good things come to those who wait. That's why I'm here to tell you there's a rainbow at the end of the tunnel if you believe and have confidence in yourself.

               You will have moments in life where you don't think you can do something, or wont believe in yourself to make the part in the play, or make the team captain of a certain sport. It's normal to have these feelings but you just have to believe no matter what and have that confidence that you're going to get that role or become the team captain. You can do anything you set your mind to.

Everyone has dreams and everyone wants to achieve those dreams and you can. Always be yourself don't ever let someone tell you other wise. You are who you are and that makes you unique and beautiful. Stay beautiful and embrace who you are.
