The Happiness Challenge: Confidence

November 8, 2014
day five

"There is no model, no actress, no beauty pageant contestant that 
can outshine a happy, confident, secure woman." --Mandy Hale




Confidence Challenge: Confidence is like a muscle - the more you use it, the more it grows!
  • sit down today and write a list of all the victories, no matter how small, that you have had in recent memory. next, list the traits that you are proud to possess.
  • face a fear! the quickest way to acquire confidence is to do exactly what you're afraid to do. this is not easy, but the reward is big. if you face a fear then your confidence takes about ten steps up.
  • smile at a person you don't know. it feels positively uplifting to confidently lock eyes with another person, and, rather than look away, smile at them. when someone returns the smile, it is a beautiful connection that naturally makes you feel better about yourself.
I was just talking with a friend about what a huge difference it makes to smile at people! It's not that difficult here at BYU where everyone is pretty friendly but it always makes me so sad when people purposefully look down to avoid eye contact with you or immediately pull out their phone. To me, it just seems more awkward haha! It's even better to go a step further and just say hello! Our interactions with those we pass throughout the day really do have a huge impact on us!
