Chip Chick
“On Sundays, I go grocery shopping and listen to murder podcasts. One night a week, I cook something terribly caloric and delicious (this is quite often charcuterie!). I read more.”
“I only follow my friends/family on social media. I light candles. I go on walks. I set boundaries. I dance around my living room to old songs that make me happy. (What’s interesting about all of that to me is that I gained weight over the pandemic—and somehow I’m happier with myself than ever.)”
“All of that taking care of myself and my interests has made me a better partner and friend—and increased my self-esteem so much. I like who I am!”
She Surrounds Herself With Empowering Things
“Listen to empowering songs. Read books which empower women (women don’t owe you pretty by Florence given for example) and practice self-worth habits eg don’t be around people who make you not feel good, do spend time doing things that make you happy.”
“Do and wear what makes YOU feel good. For me, buying new underwear and dancing to my fave songs in the mirror actually makes me so happy and confident in myself – and when you’re content with yourself the world sees that as well!”
“Write all the things that are good about yourself and all the qualities you want to possess. repeat them to yourself. Often.”
“I have a list of things on my phone to remember in my daily life … one of them is “be brave” another is “trust your gut” – so when I get nervous or doubt myself I read this list of things and I feel like I can take on the world.”
“It’s not an overnight thing and even the most confident people still have breakdowns and self-doubt. But try to think of yourself in the best light possible when you can every day and it’ll soon become a habit !! All the best.”
