Last week I had the opportunity to work with Jedora (aka The Amazon of Jewelry) and get flashy with some of their pieces in a beautiful rooftop location.
Now when I look at this picture the quote that comes to mind is “Wear your jewelry, don’t let it wear you”.
Sure this quote can be used in many different ways from all of the things we put on bodies to stuff we use in our daily lives, but I believe the meaning behind it still stays the same.
We shouldn’t search for our confidence from the things we wear, the compliments we are given, or any other outside force for that matter, instead it should first come from WITHIN.
If you start becoming dependent on things or compliments solely to make you confident then you are setting yourself up for failure because you will eventually “wear” yourself out searching for it.
When I recently took a break from social media it was honestly because it was starting to wear me out in that way.
However once I stopped depending on a like, a compliment, or any notification to make me confident I was able to strip myself down and start gaining more clarity with my value as a person.
In doing so my confidence is no longer dependent on any thing, and I just now use those “things” to enhance it.
Need help finding your confidence?
1. Quiet the noise around you (aka stop looking at what others are doing).
2. Take some time to write down the things down you love about yourself (pump yourself up)
3. Rinse and repeat whenever needed (I do this often)
Love,
