3 Tips to Boosting Your Self-Confidence 1. Stop Trying to Be Perfect Perfection doesn't exist. Do the best you can and watch your confidence soar. 2. Practice Self-Care One of the best ways you can boost your confidence is to love yourself. Take care of yourself by getting some fresh air, reading a book, eating healthy, or simply just taking a social media break. 3. Stop comparing yourself to others. When you compare to yourself to others, you often become too hard on yourself and feel like you don't measure up. This causes you to ignore your own unique qualities. Try to set realistic expectations of yourself just because someone else can run a mile in seven minutes. Doesn't mean you need to too. So, lose your self-confidence by being aware that you are a great person just the way you are.
