We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us how they boost their confidence on days when they're really not feeling themselves. Here’s what they had to say:
1. Create a "Slaylist" you can strut to.
2. Practice your Oscar/Grammy/Nobel Prize acceptance speech.
"That always gives me a boost. Embarrassing if you get interrupted though."
3. Give a compliment to a stranger.
4. Sleep in the nude.
5. Do something you're awesome at.
6. Phone home.
7. Put on a sexy song and dance in front of the mirror.
8. Do something physical.
9. Throw yourself a compliment every time you walk past a mirror.
10. Get a pair of sweet shades to block out the haters.
11. Wear red lipstick.
12. Crack a smile!
13. Cosplay as your favorite character.
14. Masturbate.
15. Put on underwear that makes you feel sexy.
16. Schedule a best friend date.
17. Pamper yo'self.
18. Be your own hype man.
19. Think of three awesome things you've done or made.
20. Do something scary AF.
21. Make a list of all the things you have to be thankful for and hang it somewhere you'll see it daily.
22. Wear a suit.
"On rough days after work I go to a local shop and try on suits. Its hard to stay sad when you turn and see yourself in the mirror looking like a million bucks."
23. Volunteer your time.
24. Pretend you're all the girls Drake talks about in his songs.
25. Take a few ~fire~ selfies.
"I know how superficial this sounds, but I put on that Snapchat filter that makes everyone look perfect (you know the one) and take some selfies. It actually does help!"
26. Take some time and do your makeup.
27. Stand tall, look people in the eye, and give a firm handshake.
28. Start saying "so what" instead of "what if."
29. Do something different with your hair.
