Growing up as a child I have always admired bold and confident people, people who are always prepared for anything and everything.

People who can walk into a room with their heads held high not minding who is in the room, I immediately fall in love with such people, I might not be your friend but i will always admire you from afar cause mastering such confidence was a bit challenging for me.

I was a shy girl no doubt but mind you i wasn't shy to stupor 😃😃 my self esteem could be trampled upon easily at every strong or challenging circumstances.

Being the center of attraction has never being my forte, for example i walk into a room and everyone's eyes are on me or once people start to compliment me I would always be uncomfortable and would be on a look out for an exit, pathetic right? i know 🙈🙈

Funny how i compliment people alot but i don't do well with compliments at all LOl, it was that bad.

My shyness became a problem because I'd always shy away from things that would launch me to another level.

One day i sat down and i just had to advise myself. A friend of mine once told me to write down all the good qualities that i love about myself that it always works . I did that and i kept on looking at the list over and over again until i understood how amazing i was and my confidence level started to grow.

One of the major qualities i discovered about myself is that i am smart, i just have a way of doing things differently from others, i assimilate things pretty fast and i have a photographic memory to an extend, knowing this took my confidence to another level.

Another conscious step i took to overcoming this feeling was to achieve anything and everything achievable🙃, I started to celebrate my little wins, whenever i achieve anything great I'd keep pondering on it until my subconscious is aware that I AM AMAZING🥰🥰

Whenever i feel less of myself i quickly switch to priding myself in how intelligent i am and the tons of things i have achieved and trust me this has helped me a great deal.

More so, another thing i had in place was always dressing nice and confident, staying pretty and positive, and when i talk about staying pretty i don't mean hididng myself behind the mask of excessive makeup Nah, i am talking about good grooming.

My confidence level is not 100% yet but oh boy this young lady has improved tremendously , my confidence level is way above what it use to be before, I know i am not totally there yet but i am happy for how far i have come and i am proud.
