Has doubt, worry, anxiety or frustration ever got you in a slump? If yes, perhaps you might consider what to do to become free from, or better manage, your insecurities. Try these 5 suggestions:
1. Do what you can to prepare yourself for a life guided by purpose.
When we feel caught up in our insecurities, it may be because the direction we’re taking in life is not as clear or that we lack the preparation to fully live out that purpose. Being courageous enough to determine your purpose is the first step. Preparing to live out that purpose is the next.
2. Remember to nurture your physical and mental well-being.
However much we may feel successful, if our bodies—either physically or mentally—suffer, then we are not succeeding in the most optimal way. Eating a variety of healthy foods, building a strong social network, sleeping enough and exercising are good ways to nurture oneself. Relieving tension through an honest conversation with a friend or loved one could be another. With these suggestions and more, you can start to take care of yourself in order to truly enjoy success and happiness.
3. Channel the positive influences around you.
If there’s a regular source leading to any of your insecurity, there’s need to pause and find a way to let go of it. For example, you may have a rude co-worker who you ought to ignore, if possible. Remember to collect all the positive influences around you, words of encouragement and wisdom, and channel them into the path you leave behind.
4. Be your natural self, and carefree, as surroundings allow you.
The best remedy to many of our insecurities is being natural, in other words, doing less overthinking or worrying. When we let go, we can leave a sparkly trail behind. Remind yourself that the more you exercise your carefree side, the more likely insecurities can fade away and you appreciate yourself more, especially when you stop comparing yourself to others.
5. Figure out your strengths, and keep using them.
Often our insecurities get the best of us when we’re not practicing our strengths. If we regularly hone in on our strengths and use them often, there’s less room for worry, doubt, anxiety or frustration. Try to figure out your biggest strength, repeatedly use it, and see how much happiness and joy you get in return!
In all, these 5 suggestions can help put you on a path to feeling less insecure. Just like most good things, practice helps, so take time and when you feel happier or more secure, and satisfied, you’ll know it.
