Feeling confident about your appearance is a struggle for many people. For some, it starts as a young child. For others, it could have been the high school years that made you uncomfortable.

So how do you feel more confident? There are some tips that you can take to heart to make a change and grow that confidence level.
7 Ways to Feel More Confident About Your Appearance
1. Complement Yourself on the Things You do Love
You already know what you don’t like about our body. But instead of focusing on the negative, focus on the positive attributes. Make sure when you go out of the house those positive attributes are highlighted.
2. Go to The Gym
Working out and strengthening your body really helps build confidence. Not only do you become stronger physically but you also become stronger mentally. Plus, exercise releases endorphins that naturally make us feel good about ourselves.
3. Change the Things You Can
What is it that you don’t like about your appearance? Fashion, hair, weight, attitude? Focus on that area and make changes.
4. Hang With the Positive People
Negativity breeds negativity so surround yourself with positive people. Don’t be afraid to complement others and help spur their positivity too.
5. Take Time Out for You
You can feel better about yourself if you take time to relax and look after your body. Take part in meditation classes, go for regular massages, have a bath at the end of a long day, or treat yourself to some new cosmetic products.
6. Buy a New Wardrobe
You can feel bad about the way you look if you’re wearing old clothes or clothes which don’t fit you properly anymore. Find a friend who has great taste in clothing and hit the stores. Pick up some core basics and add to them over time.
7. Smile More
When you smile more, you will automatically become more attractive, both to yourself (you will feel better) and to the people around you. This will lead to more compliments which will always boost your self-confidence and make you feel better about yourself.
