As humans, we all deal with insecurities -whether it’s small doubts, hidden fears, or quiet issues, 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 eventually, 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.

Tips for creating A happy life While Overcoming insecurities
These simple mindset shifts not only helped me feel more comfortable in my skin, but also reaffirmed to me that, when it comes to society, you cannot be close-minded.
1. Accept Yourself Despite Your insecurities
The first step to overcoming your insecurities is to be comfortable in your skin. Whether that means 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 living life to the fullest with no regrets. Because when you level up from the inside out, it can make a world of difference.
2. Stop seeking validation from others
Depending on others to validate your beauty will only get you so far in life. On top of that, you cannot 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. Because the less you worry about others, the happier you will be.
3. Practice Words of Affirmation To Boost Confidence
For a confidence boost, start practicing 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.
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 perfection.
