Written By: Gloria from Amani Upendo Wellness

We all have our moments of doubt, insecurity, and self-sabotage. It can be hard to get out of this negative headspace and easy to internalize our criticisms But if we want to truly move forward, we need to learn to believe in ourselves

Believing in yourself isn’t just a simple “think happy thoughts” kind of mantra True self-belief takes time, effort, and energy to access what’s within you and to cast aside all the moments of self-doubt It is about using your inner strength and courage to stand firm in who you are and what you know you ’ re capable of.

A great place to start is to understand that you are unique and have value Individuals have diverse perspectives and unique experiences that, when given the chance to shine, can have a huge impact on the life of others or in the workplace Focus on what you have to offer and how you can make a difference

The next step is to allow yourself to make mistakes No one is perfect, and trying to be can be incredibly difficult, if not unhealthy Making mistakes is inevitable, but they can be used as a chance to reflect and grow We all have moments of weakness; the key is to learn to forgive ourselves and move on

Finally, it’s worth taking some time out of your day to gain perspective on what matters One of the best ways to gain perspective is to clear away the doubt and become aware of what other people see in you the good and the bad Speak and interact with those who know your worth and are determined to help you have faith in yourself

Believing in yourself is contingent upon your ability to recognize your inborn power and work to unlock it. All the confidence you need is within you, and it can be accessed through all sorts of activities that make you trust in yourself and your abilities With time, you will unlock your inner power and achieve whatever you put your mind to Stay Pretty!
