I’ll let you in on a secret. There are times that I don’t have a lot of self confidence. I know, you’re thinking “Really?” but it’s true. I have always felt a bit like I don’t really fit in and there are certain times that those feelings are amplified and that can effect my self confidence. I’ve been using these tips to feel more confident when that happens and it seems to be working.

Tips to Feel More Confident
I always feel more confident when I look good. There’s just something about mascara, lip gloss and a cute outfit that makes me feel ready to face the world. I hope that these tips to feel more confident help you as well.
- Stand up straight and look forward. No slouching and no looking at the ground when you walk. Face the world head on.
- Find something you love about yourself. Your voice, your eyes, your creativity. Pick one thing and focus on that.
- Smile. Smiling makes you look younger and it makes others smile in return.
- Say thank you, don’t look for excuses. When someone tells you they love your dress, say “Thanks!” and not “This old thing?”
- Wear happy colors. When I’m down, I wear more black and grey. Pick a bright shirt or even a bracelet that brings a pop of color to your outfit.
- Take care of you. Shower, shave, do your nails, swipe on some lip gloss. Whatever it is that “groomed” is to you, do that. You’ll look better and feel better.
- Splurge on those unmentionables. Just because today’s “look” is jeans and a t-shirt, doesn’t mean that you can’t be wearing some seriously sexy lingerie underneath. Wear it for you. It doesn’t matter if no one else sees it.
Once you’ve splurged on those fancy undergarments, protect them from damage with U by Kotex® with 3D Capture Core. U by Kotex® offers a full line of feminine care products for periods including pads, liners and tampons. Outstanding protection that keeps you one step ahead.

Great tips, Ellen! And a fabulous reminder to take time out to care for ourselves and our appearance. It’s easy for your self-esteem to take knocks, good to have a confidence plan!
Thanks, Barb! It is so important!
It’s mascara and lip gloss for me. Those are two things I am sure to have before I walk out the door.
I’m the same way, Angela!
These are great tips! I try to have lip gloss on me at all times!
Thanks, Mel!
Ha, your first tip is the best. I’ve noticed many people so hunkered over their computers and cell phones. I bet they also have some back issues. I also feel more awake when I don’t slouch.
Very true, Deb!
Great tips, especially for young women who are just finding their place in the world. My daughter is a faithful user of the U by Kotex products.
Thank you, Kelly. We love them too!
I need earrings to make me feel confident, weird right?! I also need to practice being assertive and not looking at the ground when I walk, I’m usually so shy!
Assertive doesn’t come easy for me either, Jen!
Before I forget, thank you for the link to the samples. These are all great tips. I esp like Smile. It is just hard to be anything but happy, and confident when you are smiling. Confidence is so important whether you are in the workforce or at home.
Glad to share, Robin. Confidence is beautiful!
