Self-confidence is the most beautiful gift you can give yourself. Throughout life, we ​​face various situations that we have to go through brilliantly, but our ability to "laugh with life and life" gives us real superpowers.

I know that you have promised yourself countless times that today you will go to the gym, you will read the new book you ordered or you will do that bike ride that you kept talking about with your girlfriend. But you didn't keep your word! The fact that you procrastinate and fail to keep your promises is a sign that you do not love yourself enough.

The first step you can take to gradually gain confidence is to stop procrastinating. Get inspired by a few mind and body care rituals below that will help you increase your self-esteem:

The priority is you

Read the previous sentence several times and use it as a mantra daily. The fact that you respect and love yourself does not mean that you become selfish and insensitive to the needs of those around you, but on the contrary. Learn to spend quality time with yourself, maybe you want to go out on a terrace and read: do it!

There is no need to call your sisters of the cross to be with you, this time is only yours, spend it doing something you miss, but which you have postponed for various reasons. After a certain period with you, you will see that you will be more open to your loved ones and you will appreciate the moments spent with them.

Also, learn to say NO. It's okay to refuse a person or a situation. If you do not develop this ability, you will always do things that you dislike or do not want. Set precise boundaries and become aware of your current commitments before making new ones.

Take care of your skin

Skin is our business card, and its care is essential for any woman. Make evening make-up removal a daily ritual, even if you are not a fan of cosmetics. A micellar lotion that refreshes and does not aggress the skin and a moisturizer is enough to put you to sleep with a clean and bright complexion.

Not only does the skin of the face need care, but the rest of the body needs to be pampered. Get rid of unwanted hair and save time, which you can spend doing things you love with your loved ones.

Develop a passion

Routine can be a hard-fought enemy if we don't realize how important it is to form healthy habits. Playing a sport can be a great option if you feel numb in your office chair after work.

But what about a theater class? It is a wonderful idea that will help you relax, energize and develop your emotional intelligence. There are many amateur theater clubs in the country, which will take you out of your comfort zone and allow you to discover your unsuspected talents.

SPA at your home

Transform your bathroom into a room of relaxation. Listen to oriental music in the background and put your worries aside. Relax in the bathtub full of foam and apply a natural mask of ingredients that you can find in your fridge. Don't forget to light scented candles and use essential oils such as rose, lemon, or lavender.

Be responsible!

At every moment you choose! You are the one who holds the helm of your own life, and that's exactly what responsibility means. Don't look for heroes elsewhere, you better look in the mirror.

Experience different things, that's the only way to find out who you are, what you like, and where you want to go. The details make the difference, and the little things we do for ourselves over time will help us tremendously. Take care of your mind and body in equal measure, value yourself as a man and as a woman, and the results will not belong in coming.
