Do you ever go through those moments where you have an occasion, event or even a date to attend and you can’t find the perfect outfit?

You’ve tried on different clothes and looks but it’s not working for you? You’re so confused about what to wear, you had to call your close friends to help with suggestions or you send them pictures of your different fits asking them to pick for you.

There are usually factors that could lead up to you being in such situations:
-It could be the place you’re going to,
-Who you’re going with,
-Or it could just be that you’re trying to recreate a particular look.

The latter is the most recurring.

Have you tried recreating a look before?
I bet you have, it’s just like seeing a person’s outfit and you like it. You then decide to dress the same way, maybe adding a few touches to spice yours up.

Sounds familiar right?

The same thing also applies to your life…not just yours but humans in general.

It’s part of the human makeup to see someone or something and like it or be inspired by it, and soon enough, you try to do something similar or be something similar.

It could even be reflexes sometimes.
All of this is good, really good.

But sometimes, the mistake you make is that instead of working with your inspiration and creating something unique with it, you go on ahead and recreate the exact thing because you don’t want to put in the work and time to create yours or because you don’t think you could pull off something different and beautiful too.

Sometimes, one of the reasons you might struggle with being yourself authentically is Self-doubt.

Self-doubt means not having enough confidence in yourself.

It makes you feel like there’s always something that you aren’t doing right, and in turn, continuously makes you question yourself.

Here are some ways to conquer Self-doubt;

♦Practising self-compassion, in other words, be kind to yourself.

♦Learn to celebrate yourself, whether small or big wins.

♦Think positively.

♦Avoid Comparison. Comparison is the thief of Joy and Joy is important to anyone who’s going to be productive.

♦Keep a good circle of friends.

♦Develop an attitude of Gratitude. This means intentionally being thankful for the progress you make no matter how small it might look.

Life’s short.
You barely have enough time to pour out all the grace that’s in you let alone be the exact copy of someone else.

You’re Unique.
You’re Different.
You have Your Own Voice.

Embrace who you are and enjoy it.
