Great ways to get your confidence back after a toxic relationship

Some of these fantastic techniques to regain your confidence should benefit you after a toxic relationship.

There are several reasons why our self-confidence might be shaken, and we may feel less certain of ourselves in everyday life. It’s possible that we’ve had a setback in love or at work. Perhaps we have been weakened by loss, or perhaps we just believe that nothing we can do is right. One of the biggest issues is getting out of a toxic relationship and starting over again.

Having confidence and feeling good about yourself is the first step in changing your life, therefore it’s critical to strive to regain it if you’ve lost it. Some of these fantastic techniques to regain your confidence should benefit you after a toxic relationship.

Make Use Of Your Comfort Zone

Everyone has a place or situation that they consider to be their comfort zone. It’s where they’re the happiest, where they can be themselves and relax. This is the place to be if you’re feeling unsure about yourself. It might be anywhere and doing anything. You might wish to prepare and enjoy a delicious supper. You might want to sit quietly with an excellent book. Perhaps it’s traveling to a certain area and admiring the scenery. You should do whatever works best for you. Once there, you can relax your thoughts, and you might notice that you feel better immediately. If not, spend some time being where you want to be and doing what you want to do until you start to feel like branching out and doing more. 

Change How You Look

If your appearance makes you feel insecure, adjusting your look somewhat might be the solution. If you are overweight and feel that losing that weight would improve your confidence, attend a gym class or work out at home if that is more convenient for you. If you believe that changing your dress style would help, go ahead and do it; ask the retailer for some suggestions on what might suit you. Consider a new hairdo or even a facelift from Dr Jason Roth. You might even want to experiment with a different sort of makeup. There are several simple changes you can make that will significantly impact how you view yourself and your level of self-confidence.

Just remember that you should only make these changes if they are what you want. If someone else has told you to or you feel it’s what you’re meant to do but don’t really believe in the idea, don’t do it – you won’t feel more confident, but you will feel bad. 

Smile

It may seem funny, but smiling (and meaning it if possible) gives you a sense of confidence. It might be due to how other people view someone who is smiling; for example, they treat those who are frowning differently. A grin can go a long way and get you further than many other things put together. As the day progresses, you’ll notice that smiling gets a lot easier since you’re feeling better about yourself in general.

Be Mindful

Being mindful entails totally immersing yourself in the present moment. It involves being unconcerned with what is likely to happen as well as being unconcerned about what has already happened. Because you cannot change the past and you cannot predict the future, the now is all that really counts. 

Being mindful also includes enjoying your surroundings. This will help you in shifting your viewpoint. Yes, a toxic relationship may have shaken your faith, but look around you – there is a lot of positivity to be found.

Your "not that regular" all-around gal, writing about anything, thus everything. "There's always more to discover... thus write about," she says in between - GASP! - puffs. And so that's what she does, exactly. Write, of course; not (just) puff.
