How To Gain Self Confidence

16Jan07

(Or, How To Inflate Your Own Ego)

1. Listen to the Paris Hilton album.
On repeat, until you know all the words. Start quoting random lyrics spontaneously. Now, now don’t look at me like that! It works! You will be ‘hot‘ in no time. It’s all about brain-washing yourself and there is noone else who thinks so highly of themselves as Miss Hilton. If we can’t immitate anything else, we should at least try to learn and attain the same attitude she has towards herself!

2. Start a ‘Compliment Bank’.
Everytime someone compliments you – take note! Write it down on a piece of paper, keep a Word document for it, whatever! Whenever you are feeling blue, just go into your bank and read all the wonderful comments about yourself from others! It will perk you up in no time!

3. Repeat your affirmations.
Have your very own mantra for yourself! Whether you focus on a part of yourself you are happy with, or try to come to terms with something you’re not quite satisfied with, stand in front of a mirror and repeat your affirmations! Here’s some to get you started, or write your own:

“Good golly, I’m a hot tamale!”
“With hips like mine, who needs wine!”
“My legs are so lean, other girls go green!”

4. Flirt shamelessly with your reflection.
Wow, who was that hottie in the store? Oh wait, IT’S YOU! When you catch your reflection, take a step back and gaze lovingly at yourself! Fluff up your hair, pout and make kissy faces, watch those curves! Love yourself! You are the most important thing!
