- They have a strong sense of self.
With today’s media constantly bombarding us with images of who it is we should or shouldn’t be, it’s easy to fall prey to wanting to be like by others instead of being our true authentic selves. Confident women realize not everyone is going to like them and don’t need approval from everyone. Women with a strong sense of self are also able to spend time alone and don’t need validation from others.
- They rarely complain.
Confident women choose to think positive thoughts. They recognize that negative thoughts can quickly turn into a very negative existence and the more you talk about negative things the more you are drawing more of what’s not working into your life.
- They support others.
What greater way to feel good about yourself and the world than by helping and supporting others. Giving of your time to others brings you more happiness than any material item ever will. Knowing you are doing your part to make the world a better place can only make you want to stick your chest out and walk tall!
- They live their purpose.
Confident women have left their fears behind and understand that fear is what points you to the next step in growth. Work brings joy instead of sucking the life out of you. Uncertainty, worry and insecurity are patterns of the past. Confident women realize the world needs them to be at their best.
- They take very little personally.
They are able to create a space between themselves and their reactions. They know who they are and aren’t victimized by the need for validation from others. They have taken their power back from someone telling them who they are to knowing fully who they are and not relying on outside opinions to form their self-esteem.
- They exercise.
Exercise gives you a good appearance and improves your body image. Your posture improves and the way you walk out into the world and carry yourself skyrockets! Exercising releases positive endorphins giving your mindset a lift from negative to positive emotions.
- They say NO.
Confident women value their time and have the ability to say no if what they are being asked to do isn’t in alignment with their goals, values or guiding principles. They understand that time is a commodity and saying “yes” to everyone and everything is a recipe for disaster, burnout, anxiety and essentially nothing ever getting done.
Work on developing the habits above and you will be well on your way to a confident woman who is ready to tackle the world head on!
