So often, we find ourselves caught up in the whirlwind of daily responsibilities, leaving little time for self-care which can alter our self confidence. However, finding subtle self confidence boosters doesn't have to be a time-consuming endeavor. Here are six sneaky yet effective ways to boost to infuse your day with a little confidence and embrace the radiant mama within.
1. Wear Sexy Underwear
Sexy lingerie isn't always for our partners. Start your day with a secret confidence boost by wearing sexy underwear beneath your everyday attire. The subtle reminder of something special underneath can add an extra layer of self-assurance, a little secret just for you.
2. Spritz on Your Favorite Perfume:
The power of scent is incredible.! Choose your favorite perfume and make it a daily ritual to spritz some on. The lingering fragrance not only enhances your mood but also serves as a personal confidence booster, creating an aura of self-assuredness around you. Hands down one of our favorite scent is from Catherine Malandrino (linked below).
3. Mirror Affirmations
Sneak in positive affirmations while you get ready in the morning. Stand in front of the mirror, look yourself in the eyes, and speak affirmations aloud. It worked for SNL's Stuart Smalley in the 90s. Ha. Whether it's acknowledging your strength, beauty, or resilience, these mirror moments can have a profound impact on your self-esteem throughout the day. And why not do it in front of a fabulous mirror like this one?
4. Embrace Power Poses
If you are a fan of Rebecca on Ted Lasso, you know she is all about her power poses. It initially seems silly, but embrace it. Stand tall, shoulders back, and head held high. These poses not only convey confidence to others but also influence your internal mindset. Before important meetings or challenging moments, take a moment to strike a power pose and feel the boost in your self-assurance.
5. Daily Gratitude Journaling
Sneak in a self-esteem boost by practicing daily gratitude journaling. Take a few minutes each day to jot down things you're grateful for and to check in with your mental health. Recognizing and appreciating the positive aspects of your life can cultivate a sense of accomplishment and boost your overall self-esteem. This journal has some especially useful features!
Hopefully you will give some of these a go in your daily routine. Let us know how it goes for you!
