WAYS TO UPLIFT YOURSELF AND BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE!!!

Hey my coffee addicts! As promised from today's segment, here's what I talked about. Here's my tips for how I like to uplift and boost my confidence! MISSED TODAY'S SEGMENT? NO WORRIES, IT'S RECORD ;) JUST GO TO: WWW.BLOGTALKRADIO.COM/COFFEENOFILTER

WAYS TO UPLIFT YOURSELF AND BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE

• WRITE YOURSELF LOVE LETTERS. USE STICKY NOTES AND PUT INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES ON YOUR MIRROR, FRIDGE, PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE YOU'LL SEE THOSE 'WORDS OF WISDOM' DAILY!

• LISTEN TO MUSIC (SPECIFICALLY POSITIVE/UPLIFTING) FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE HAVING A LOW DAY! (SET JAMES BROWN- I FEEL GOOD SONG AS AN ALARM SOUND IN THE MORNING).

• EXERCISE TO RELEASE THAT NATURAL FEEL GOOD CHEMICAL "ENDORPHIN". NOT ONLY WILL YOU FEEL BETTER, BUT YOU'LL MAKE YOUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL STATE BETTER. TRY MEDITATION AND YOGA FOR SPIRITUAL HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT!

• EAT FOODS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR BODY FEEL GREAT! FRUITS AND VEGGIES ARE A PERFECT SNACK TO EAT WHEN YOU'RE SAD! WE TEND TO REACH FOR THE UNHEALTHY FOOD TO MAKE US FEEL BETTER. HOWEVER, THIS ACTUALLY MAKES US FEEL WORSE.

• KEEP A POSITIVE CIRCLE OF LOVED ONES IN YOUR LIFE. YOU CAN'T LIVE A LIFE WHERE THERE'S ALWAYS NEGATIVITY. YES LIFE HAS IT'S UPS AND DOWNS, BUT WHO WANTS THAT ALL THE TIME. CUT IT OUT!!

• THINK POSITIVE! IF YOU HAVE A POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON LIFE, YOU WILL BE POSITIVE. WHEN YOU THINK NEGATIVELY ABOUT YOUR LIFE YOU WILL LIFE A NEGATIVE LIFE. RE-READ THAT!

• READ OR WATCH SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. AS I MENTIONED IN TODAY'S SEGMENT, COMEDY BOOKS ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE GENRES. 'THE HUNGER PAINS' BY THE HARVARD LAMPOON AND 'IS EVERYONE HANGING OUT WITHOUT ME' BY MINDY KALING ARE GREAT READS!!!

• GO OUT AND ENJOY THE DAY. I LIKE TO VISIT MUSEUMS AND LOCAL COFFEE SHOPS.

• 'ME DATE' IS A PERFECT TIME WHEN YOU'RE FEELING DOWN TO PAMPER YOURSELF. TREAT YOURSELF TO A MOVIE, SPA, OR YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT. YOU DON'T ALWAYS NEED THE COMPANY OF OTHERS TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO APPRECIATE YOURSELF, AND TAKE TIME FOR YOU, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ALWAYS HELPING OTHERS. 

• TRY SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT. STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE, YOU MAY ACTUALLY END UP FINDING SOMETHING YOU ENJOY.

BELOW ARE SOME INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES I READ OFF ON TODAY'S SEGMENT! FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR OWN! PINTEREST IS A GREAT SITE THAT HAS A LOT OF THESE QUOTES:

REMEMBER, WHEN YOU FACE TOUGH TIMES, SAY PLOT TWIST!!!!
