Do you ever have those days where your inner dialogue isn't so kind or you can never find the perfect outfit to wear or you just aren't feeling your best?

If you are someone who finds yourself having the occasional low self-confidence day, don’t worry - you are definitely NOT alone. 

One of the most important things to remember is that self-love is not always constant. You don’t have to wake up every morning and love every single thing about what you see in the mirror… Kate Jones and I had a great chat about this in a recent episode of the Rise and Conquer podcast which you can listen to here. 

She said that for her, self-love is being neutral or if she does have those lower feelings they don’t last which I completely agree with. 

At the beginning of your self-love journey you might find that those feelings linger a little too long or you may even be looking in the mirror and not being very kind to yourself. 

Remember to be compassionate towards yourself when you are having those feelings and know that you have the power to shift out of it. Here are some of my favourite things to do on one of those low self-confidence days that help me to feel that little bit better: 

• Practise Self-Care - Set time aside to do a self-care ritual. One of my favourite things to do is my skincare routine but I make the extra effort to make sure this is special. I put my phone away, light a candle and really take my time with it. If you don’t have a large amount of time that day, consider just taking a few extra minutes with something you do anyway - this could be as simple as having a shower with candlelight instead of your normal bathroom light!
• Journal - I might sound like a bit of a broken record when it comes to this but journaling truly is a powerful tool for self-reflection and growth. Take some time to write down any key thoughts and feelings you are having - you may even like to check out our Goddess Energy Self Love Journal here - it’s filled with daily prompts and affirmations in relation to self-love.
• Move Your Body - I love taking the time to move my body and truly appreciate how lucky I am to have the privilege of moving it. I find exercise really helps to move any negative energy out and make space - sometimes this is as simple as a dance party in the living room with Ivy.
• Connection with others - Reach out to a friend or family member who makes you feel loved and supported. Sometimes, all it takes is a heartfelt conversation or spending time with someone who cares about you to lift your spirits and remind you of your value.
• Limit Social Media Exposure - Social media can easily trigger you when you are having a low confidence day. Take a break from scrolling through your feeds and instead focus on activities that nourish your soul and boost your self-esteem.

Remember, having a low self-confidence day is a temporary setback, not a reflection of your worth. Be gentle with yourself, practice self-compassion, and know that you have the strength and resilience to overcome these challenges. You are worthy of love, acceptance, and happiness, and you deserve to feel confident and empowered in every aspect of your life.

Love always,
