1. Mind

You might be having a few things that drive you crazy or that stress you out and leave you with a lot of negativity and angriness. If your mind is full of negative emotions, it will show on the outside as well.

The best thing you can do in a situation like this is to focus on the possible ways you can solve your problems rather than your problems themselves. That’s because you’ll only make them seem even bigger than they actually are, which will only make you extremely stressed out and unhappy.

2. Clothes

Not trying to sound like a spoiled teenager, but the right clothes can really change your mood and your overall attitude! If you wear clothes that are not in your size, whether they’re too big or too small, you won’t feel very comfortable, let alone confident.

Choose to wear things that fit you well, that make you feel good, and that work with your skin tone, your hair color, and your overall style. Once you have something that is flattering, you’ll instantly feel more attractive, and your self-esteem will have a boost!

3. Posture

I know that this might sound like a piece of advice a mom would give her teenage daughter before prom, but you really should stand up straight, whether you’re a woman or a man.

Not only does your body look more alluring and charming when you have a good posture, but you’ll also appear more confident, and that’s one of the most important things when it comes to feeling attractive and gracious.

4. Smile 

Have you ever noticed in movies that you might hate a random character, but your thoughts change when you see that person smile? Or how many times have you seen people frowning in TV commercials or ads?

A smile is one of the most simple ways to look more attractive in just a few seconds. When you have a smile on your face or when you laugh, you seem more easy-going, happy, and optimistic. Besides that, smiling will instantly trick your brain into thinking more positively, so why not try it?

5. Try something exciting

When you do something that is out of your comfort zone or something that you were afraid of, it’ll show on the outside. Your face will be glowy, your eyes will shine even more, and your whole attitude will change.

You’ll feel proud of yourself, you’ll be happier, and you won’t regret the feelings you’ll get afterward. So if you have something that makes you scared or something you’ve always wanted to try but didn’t have the courage to do, now is the time to let go of all your fears and simply do it!

I guarantee you that you’ll feel more optimistic, attractive, and confident!

6. Health

Being healthy and making the conscious decision each day to take care of your body will make you feel a lot more productive, and it’ll boost your self-esteem like crazy! So make sure you eat well, move your body, take your vitamins, and treat yourself from time to time and you’ll notice how everything will seem better in just a few seconds!

Besides that, working out releases endorphins, which are a type of hormone that will make you feel happier, more productive, and overall more positive!

…Remember that both mental and physical health should be your top priorities!

7. Pamper yourself

Don’t forget to treat yourself from time to time, you deserve a few moments of relaxation! You can buy a new book, a new outfit, that beautiful pair of shoes you’ve had your eyes on for a while, or everything you want, it’s up to you!

It doesn’t matter how you decide to pamper yourself, the important thing is that you take some time just for yourself, when you can relax, get cozy, and do whatever you want. Both your body and your mind will thank you for this!

8. Hair 

The hair makes up a lot of your appearance, so you have to make sure it suits you well. If you have a haircut you don’t like, you’ll feel like every day is a struggle to make your hair stay in one place.

Experiment with your hair, and change its color and shape until you find something that works for you and that makes you feel happy and confident! Having the right color and haircut will make you seem empowered and interesting, and I’m sure you want this!
