I am sure you have a vivid image in your head of what a confident woman looks like. And I know this is different for everyone of you reading this, but one thing is in common and that is that we all look up to that image and want to be like her.
You know how some women light up the room they are in? Yes, you could be one of those women too. But, first things first, being confident takes time and practise. It won’t happen overnight. But the good part is that it’s a habit and over time you can cultivate it.
Imagine being confident and how it would change your life. You’d definitely take more chances with your life, be more content with where you are and what you have.
So these are habits and some daily practices that you can do, which, over time will help boost your confidence. They will help you believe in yourself more and go after things that you never thought were possible.
And because we are all about personal growth and self development, and we truly believe that being more confident will help you go after the life that you deserve, so here are the habits that all confident women have in common:

A confident women not only knows here dreams and plans, but she works towards them. She knows exactly what her dreams are and what goals will help her get there.

So often we get so caught up on what others say behind our backs and waste so much of our time and energy into trying to change their opinion of us. but a confident woman knows her worth and knows that people are going to talk anyway and it doesn’t define who she is. And no matter what, she can’t please everyone around her or change everyone’s perception.

And a confident woman is not afraid to say no. She doesn’t fear that people will be displeased or think she is rude. She just knows her priorities and knows that her time is not worth that opportunity.
We know that saying “NO” isn’t always easy and it requires practise, but saying No to things that don’t matter means saying yes to other things. It means that you value your time too much to waste it on worthless things.
The easiest way to say NO without offending anyone is to simply tell the truth. And even though that might be a little uncomfortable at times, it’s best to be clear and a confident knows that and puts it to practice.
