Everyone has those days sometimes where you're feelin' a little blah, things don't go as planned, and/or you could use a little mood or confidence booster, a nice pick-me-up to get you back in gear again. Sometimes, it can be as easy as putting on your favorite shirt or sexy pumps...read on for quick ways for the gals to boost your mood and confidence when you're feelin' a lil down and out!
1) Wear a bright color. Bright colors attract attention and take confidence to wear. Depending on the color, they can also boost your mood in positive ways. Hot pink, yellow, cobalt blue, and bright green are great choices.
2) Get dolled up. Nothing gives a quick shot of confidence like looking sexy, so go ahead and doll yourself up, even if you're just out running errands. You never know who you might run into ;)
3) Allow yourself to reminisce/be nolstagic. Remember that summer fling you had a couple of summers ago who made you feel so sexy? Or that great summer vacay you had with friends a few years back that was so much fun? Allowing yourself to reminisce about good times can boost your mood, as long as it's occasional and you're not constantly living in the past. In fact, research has shown that naturally nolstalgic people have high self-esteem and are less prone to depression. So allow yourself to remember good times when you're feeling down - it'll help cheer you up, and give you a boost of confidence to relive cherished memories with people who've made an impact on your life.
4) Wear your f-me pumps. We all have that article of clothing or accessory that, when worn, just makes us feel so sexy and confident. Whether it's your favorite dress or your sexiest high-heel stilettos, wearing your favorite clothing item can give a nice boost of confidence when you need it the most (like say, before that all-important first date).
5) Pamper yourself. Nothing makes a girl feel more at ease and relaxed than to indulge in a little pampering, whether it's a nice, long bubble bath, a massage, a mani/pedi, or even going in for a quick mini-facial during your lunch break. Whatever your preference, just taking a mini-break during your hectic schedule to indulge and take care of yourself helps you to refocus your energy and feel refreshed and ready to take on the day again, so you won't feel overloaded and overworked.
6) Change your style. Feel like you're in a slump? A slight change to your style can give an instant confidence boost. Change your hairstyle, go for a different make-up look, or try a fashionable new look you normally wouldn't go for. If you're feeling daring, go for a new look from head to toe. It's guaranteed to help inspire other changes in your life, as well.
7) List all the reasons why you rock. Sometimes a girl just needs a little reminder of why she's awesome. No need to fish for compliments; you know better than anyone else all of your best accomplishments. List them to remind yourself of all you've done so far, even if you feel silly doing it; it's a definite mood and confidence booster. (Don't include just accomplishments, but other traits/characteristics that you're proud of, as well, such as being a great friend and confidante and/or being compassionate and understanding.)
