As humans, we all deal with insecurities -whether it’s small doubts, hidden fears, or quiet worries, it is not uncommon to feel a certain way. For example, one of my biggest insecurities as a kid was my height -I remember being ridiculed by my peers to the point it made me start to question, “Why did God make me tall”? -and why was I so different from the rest of the girls in my class?
And so, as you can imagine, it did not make me feel good inside. But after years of maturing and growing up, I began to accept my height and the beauty that God blessed me with. Realizing that there is beauty in every size -and so, for anyone struggling to feel confident and beautiful in their skin, read my top 3 tips below. That not only helped me to conquer my insecurities, but it also serves as a good reminder that nobody is perfect.

Tips To Overcome Insecurities & Boost Up Your Self-Worth
1. Accept Yourself at All Stages Of Life
The first step to overcoming your insecurities is accepting yourself at all stages of life. That could mean you gain weight, lose it, or life is not going well right now – it’s all part of the circle of life.
So never feel bad or ashamed about how things are going. Just embrace every moment and step with confidence. And continue to live your life to the fullest with no regrets. Because when you level up from the inside out, it can make a world of difference.
2. Never Depend On Others To Validate Your Beauty
Depending on others to validate your beauty will only get you so far in life. On top of that, you can not always take people’s opinions and thoughts to heart. So rather than worry about others, focus on your self-worth by recognizing your beauty, strengths, and flaws – acknowledging that every part of you is beautiful and worthy of appreciation.
3. Practice Words of Affirmation To Help Combat Your Insecurities
For a self-esteem boost, start to practice words of affirmation. Every day, look in the mirror and say something positive about yourself. You can say things like I look good today, my hair looks great, or I am going to have a good day today.
Or if you don’t want to say it out loud, start journaling your thoughts in a notebook. For tips or hacks, be sure to head over to WhyWeJournal to get started today, or click here to view my Etsy shop if you like to journal on the go using digital journals.
In Conclusion
Life has no do-overs. So, rather than focus on the negative, find the positive 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 respect, but most of all, love the skin God gave you instead of living a life based on society’s standards.
