Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt disappointed? Maybe you think, “I don’t like my body. I’ll feel confident when I lose weight.” Other women look better than me. And every time you try to feel confident, that little voice in your head tells you you’re not enough. But here’s the truth: Your body is not the problem. The way you’ve been taught to see your body is the problem. Today, we’re changing that.
In this episode, I’ll show you how to:
✅ Stop waiting to feel confident “one day” and start today
✅ Speak to yourself with kindness instead of criticism
✅ Train your brain to see your body differently
✅ Take small, simple steps to build unshakable confidence
You were not born hating your body. Somewhere along the way, you learned that you weren’t good enough. Maybe from social media, from comments people made, or from a world that constantly tells women to “fix” themselves. But confidence is not something you earn. It’s something you practice.
So today, I want you to try this:
✔ Stand in front of the mirror and say one kind thing about yourself.
✔ Think of three things your body does for you every day—and thank it.
✔ Wear something that makes you feel good—not ‘one day,’ but today.
✔ Walk with your head high, owning your space—not with arrogance, but with quiet confidence.
You do not have to love every inch of your body to love yourself. Confidence is something you grow into.
Listen now and tell me—What’s one thing you appreciate about yourself today?

Building Body Confidence When I Don’t Like My Body
Struggling With Body Confidence? Here’s How To Feel Good In Your Own Skin
Recognizing Negative Self-Image
Let me ask you something. How many times have you looked at yourself in the mirror and thought, “I wish I looked different?” Maybe your mind tells you, “I don’t like my body. I feel better when I lose weight. I don’t look as good as other women.” Every time you think about confidence, it feels so impossible because how can you feel good when you don’t like what you see? I get it. I do.
We are going to change the way you see yourself. By the end of this episode, you will know how to understand why you feel this way about your body. I hope by the end of this episode, you will break free from self-criticism and stand feeling confident again even before anything changes. This isn’t about a quick fix. This is about loving yourself in the way you never have before.
Too many women always felt like she wasn’t enough. She would look at pictures of herself and only see the flaws. What’s wrong with her face, her body, and everything else, and even on the good days, there was a little voice in her head saying, “Fix this, change that, and then you’ll be happier,” but no matter how much she tried to change, the voice never went away because body confidence is not about your body. It’s about your mind.
Your body controls your emotions more than you think. You weren’t born having your body, somewhere along the way you learn that you weren’t good enough. Maybe from a comment someone made about your looks, the way magazines and social media show beauty, or the way people praise weight loss but not self-love, and now your brain only sees what’s wrong with you.
Reframing Body Confidence As A Mindset Issue
Here’s the truth. Your body is not the problem. The way you’ve been caught to see your body is the problem. That’s what we want to change because we are going to unlearn about that. I want to ask you something. Have you ever thought to yourself, “I will feel confident when I lose weight? I love my body when it looks different.”
This is the trap. You believe that confidence is something you earn, but the truth is confidence is something you practice. If your body changes, you will still hear that voice in your head because confidence does not come from looking different. It comes from learning to see yourself differently. The next time you look in the mirror, don’t focus on what you don’t like. Instead ask, “What do I love about myself?” Say it out loud because your brain needs to hear it. Express it, be playful, teach yourself, and be fun. No matter what, your body hears everything your mind says, and it’s time to speak to yourself with kindness.
Imagine you have spent years fighting your body. What if for the first time you decided to be on the same team as your body. Instead of punishing it, instead of speaking harshly to it, what if you treated it with the love it deserves? You can start by thinking about three things your body does for you every day. For me, it could be that my heart keeps beating. My legs that take me everywhere I want to go, and my hands that can do so many things to support my day, to create, to hold, and to touch.
You can help yourself by saying thank you to your body. Let your body know how much you appreciate it, and you will take care of it. You don’t have to love everything about your body to respect and care for it. You can always improve your body by having a healthier lifestyle. Exercise and nourish it with gentle care that it deserves.
Confidence is something you grow into, and the more you practice, the stronger it becomes. Share on XPractical Exercises To Build Lasting Confidence
Self respect is the first step to your inner self-confidence. Now, I want to share a practice to build lasting confidence. At first, it feels silly, but here’s what’s happening. Your body is creating confidence before your mind catches up. When you move boldly, breathe deeply and hold yourself strong. Your brain has no choice but to follow.
If you always feel small, every day when you stand in front of the mirror say, “I deserve to take up the space.” During the female embodiment, I share this practice with my clients that we were wearing something nice. The shoes that they never wear before, they keep them for the occasional wear. I told them to wear what makes you feel good, not one day, and take out all your beautiful dresses, jewelry, shoes, everything that makes you feel good, feel sexy, feel sensual and wear them. Don’t wait until you have some special occasion.
Practice walking in your room with confidence and own yourself. Own the room. Not the arrogant way, but the confident way. The difference between arrogance and confidence is in your intention. When you feel that you are beautiful and you admire others’ beauty, that’s confidence, but when you admire your beauty and you wish to make others jealous or feel less than you, that’s arrogance.
The energy is so much different. It’s different. Arrogant women make people avoid being around her, but a woman who loves herself and has the confidence and the beautiful intention in her heart will make others feel so good to be around her because she spreads a loving energy and thoughts. Confidence is something you grow into and the more you practice, the stronger it becomes.
My lady, you understand that confidence does not come from changing your body. It comes from changing how you see yourself. You don’t have to laugh every inch of your body to love yourself. If you are ready to go deeper to truly heal and find peace, my doors are always open for you. Remember, you are safe, you are loved. You are so beautiful. You are enough exactly as you are. You deserve to be happy and feel love, admire, and adore. I will see you soon. Bye-bye.
