“There is a difference between loneliness and solitude, one will empty you and one will fill you.  You have the power to choose.”

“Cultivate a sense of optimism.  Remember to be grateful.  Be happy for others when good things happen to them.  Stop complaining about the people, jobs or situations that make you miserable and find a way to change it or end it instead.  Go for a walk every day.  Goodness in action.  It’s being kind, honest, considerate, respectful and generous.  It’s holding love in your heart.”

~Cheryl Strayed

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive.  You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over.  But one thing is certain.  When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.  That’s what this storm’s all about.”

~Haruki Murakami

1. Do something outside of your comfort zone…”Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” It is actually great for your mental health and you will grow in confidence.
2. Take a break from social media…Do a digital detox and delete your social media for one month. You will grow in confidence by not comparing yourself against others.
3. Practice positive affirmations….Repeating positive thoughts works well for creating a happier frame of mind. You can send empowering messages to yourself that says you are confident, happy and excited.
4. Practice confident body language…FORCE yourself to smile even when you may not want to. Posture is important as well-stand tall with your head lifted and shoulders pulled back.
5. Do things that make you happy…focus on things that improve your life. Find balance between fun and work life.
