As humans, we all deal with insecurities -whether it be weight issues, skin problems, or how the world perceives us, it’s not uncommon. For example, one of the biggest insecurities I have is my height. As a kid, I was taunted and ridiculed. I thought, “Why did God make me tall”?
But after a while, I learned to accept my height. And the beauty that God gave me. And so, for anyone dealing with insecurities, check out my top 3 tips below. That not only helped me to conquer my insecurities -but a reminder that nobody is perfect.
3 Ways To Overcome Your Insecurities
1. Accept Yourself at All Stages Of Life
It can sometimes be hard to accept yourself when you do not like what you see in the mirror. So it’s vital that whatever you go through in life, you never lose your inner beauty. Or the confidence to know all stages of life is unique. And worthy of being embraced instead of looked upon through a superficial lens.
When it all boils down, beauty is universal and not one-dimensional because even if you have problems with your height, weight, skin, or whatever, it’s all part of being human. So, if you decide to change something about yourself, be sure it’s for you and not others.
2. Never Depend On Others To Validate Your Beauty
One of the things I had to learn was accepting my insecurity for what it was – while understanding that the beauty I envied from others was not my story because looking for validation from others will only get you so far in life.
So remember, if you are looking for validation, do not seek it from others. But rather have the confidence to know your self-worth -because recognizing your beauty, strengths, and flaws is beautiful.
3. Practice Words of Affirmation To Help With Your Insecurities
Practicing words of affirmation is a great way to boost your self-esteem and confidence.
So, every morning, look in the mirror and say something positive about yourself that you love or appreciate- or write it down in a journal or notebook.

In conclusion
There are no do-overs when it comes to life. So, rather than focus on the negative, find the beauty in your insecurities as you learn to overcome them because when all is said and done, we only get one body. And so while you have it, treat it with love and respect, but most of all, love the skin God gave you instead of living a life based on society’s standards.
