Tapping Into The Most Confident Version Of Yourself

“We should just pick the hottest, most confident, bad bitch version of ourselves and be that for the rest of the school year.” - Cassie Howard, Euphoria 

Almost all of my life I have had trouble with embracing myself, and being confident in who I am.

I still remember the first time I watched Euphoria season 1, seeing Kat reinvent herself and become a badass was eye opening. I now felt the need to embrace myself and strut like I’m on a catwalk everyday. 

When you’re insecure in yourself, it is evident to everyone most of the time. You’d be surprised how much better life will treat you once you start to love yourself and embrace your bad bitch energy.

Here are some things that help me feel like the hottest, confident, most bad bitch version of myself: 

• Self-care is key: whether that be keeping up with hair appointments, taking care of your body, or even doing skincare. It is so important to take care of yourself in order to tap into the most confident version of yourself. When you feel good, you look good and when you look good, you feel good!
  
  

• Eating well: Generally I try to eat healthy and have a balanced diet, but I do treat myself too. I don’t want to limit anything out of my diet either. When I’m eating well, I feel good. That way my body doesn’t feel like it’s going through a lot.
  
  
  
  
• Experimenting with fashion: I love feeling comfortable when I wear an outfit. I like to try different styles and find different versions of myself. I find that when I’m comfortable in an outfit then it’s closest to my style and it fits my body type. I’ve tried dresses, t-shirts, sweatshirts, blouses - there’s so many different aesthetics to experiment with. There’s Y2K, street style, cottage core, high end and so many more.
  
  
  
• Having a ‘go with the flow’ attitude: This is a state of mind. I’m often someone that likes to plan hangouts with my friends and have a whole itinerary. However, lately I’ve been trying to be more spontaneous and it’s been great for my mental health. After doing things differently from the way I would usually do them, it’s helped me feel confident, energetic and happy about life in general.
  
  
  
• 
  Connecting with people: similar to having a ‘go with the flow’ attitude. There’s something so thrilling and exciting about connecting new people and even old friends. Just human connection in general is so exciting that it makes me feel confident and happy. I’m an introvert and I used to struggle with being able to talk to people and open up. Maybe it came with age but suddenly I feel confident enough to speak to new people. I love being able to connect with people and talk about anything and everything.
  
  

It doesn’t take a lot to gain confidence and feel empowered. The smallest things like having your makeup done can make you feel like a bad bitch.
I hope that you too, can embrace your hot self because YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL!

Love,
