Women Management: What To Do When Everyone Looks To You

Do you believe that your physical appearance affects your confidence? Or do you think it is the other way around?

Regardless of how you see it, it is no secret that we humans rely deeply on our sense of sight. This is why one’s looks matter in many of life’s situations. Your appearance is your physical representation in the world and it communicates a strong message to who you are and what you believe in.

While there is nothing wrong with finding confidence in how you look, it becomes a problem if you compare yourself with others. Insecurities come from using your physical appearance as a measurement of your self-worth.
Instead of focusing on physical appearance to make you feel good, it is important to focus on becoming more confident in your own uniqueness. Keep in mind that confidence in itself will affect how you look and feel in a good way.

If you want to know how to feel more confident in how you look, here are simple yet effective tips that you can apply:
Acknowledge your insecurities to accept them

Our own negative perception of our physical appearance stems from irrational thought. This is why it is important to determine the root cause of what is eating your self-confidence as far as your looks are concerned. That way, we can figure out healthy solutions to overcome these insecurities.

Start by asking yourself, “Why don’t I feel confident in how I look?” Write or sketch out any of the thoughts that come to mind.
Then, ask yourself, “Why don’t I like these attributes?” and “When did I start to not like them?” Keep writing down everything that comes to mind.

For example: I don’t like myself because of my acne. I think people always stare at me because of how bad my acne is. It all began when I heard someone make a joke about it and everyone laughed.
After acknowledging these thoughts, the next and most important step is to assure yourself by saying, “I am worth more than how I look. It is merely only a part of a much bigger whole.” Remind yourself that everyone, including you, has strengths as well as flaws.

While you are indeed in the process of self-improvement, it does not mean you should simply focus on fixing your flaws. Rather, it is about embracing your strengths and accepting your weaknesses.
