Boosting your self-confidence doesn’t always need to be expensive, yeah changing your hairstyle, buying a new outfit and getting your nails done can be fun, but we have some even simpler ways of improving the way you see yourself, and the best thing is they won’t cost you a penny…okay we lied, maybe the last one will!

Good Posture

Sit up straight, shoulders back, chin up and look like you have purpose today…see doesn’t that feel much better? According to research, people with good posture have more confidence in their thoughts compared to slouchers.

Shake It Off

We don’t mean Mariah’s way! Sometimes we all need to release unnecessary tension, so how about loosening those muscles? Stand in a good space, shake out your body and wave your hands in the air like you just don’t care, clap, stamp, shout positive words. Before you know it you’re ready to take on the world…YES!

Encourage Yourself

If you’re not used to looking in the mirror, well today’s a new day baby! Stand in front of that mirror, look yourself in the eye, point your index finger at the person on the other side, give them a big smile and then pay them three of the nicest compliments you’ve ever given to anyone. Here, we can help you out ‘I like me’, ‘You’ve got this’, ‘I am fearfully and wonderfully made.’

Smell Good

Smelling and feeling fresh is a great way to boost your confidence according to former studies. If you don’t have a nice fragrance on your dressing room table, invest in one. By the way, we definitely recommend some of our personal favs: Our Moment (One Direction), Hidden Fantasy (Britney Spears), City Glam For Her  (Emporio Armani).
