Get more sleep

Sleep is something that can feel missing from your life as a mom, but it’s one of the most important things you can do to boost your confidence. Getting plenty of sleep will help you feel more focused and upbeat, which easily beats the grouchiness and stress that can come from being tired. 

Make a pledge to get more sleep. It’s going to involve changing some habits and putting a more conscious effort into sleeping. To do this, you’ll need to create a strong family bedtime routine and start going to bed earlier at night. If you usually stay up late to do chores and other tasks, consider going to bed earlier and waking up to do them instead. You’ll feel much more in control and can get a lot of the hard work out of the way before the day has even truly begun.

Try a new look

Being a mom means taking care of other people, which can stop you taking care of yourself. A new look could help inspire confidence and make you look younger and fresher, helping you see yourself in the best light. Start your makeover by heading to the salon and asking for a new look. It doesn’t have to be anything drastic, but you’ll appreciate the pamper. Meanwhile, a trip to the cosmetics counter could also help you discover some new looks and products that will take your self-esteem to some great new heights.

Treating yourself to some new clothes can also be a big confidence booster, helping you feel more comfortable in your skin. Choose items that flatter your body shape for some extra confidence.

Fix your smile

Do you struggle with your smile? For many people, teeth are responsible for a huge drop in confidence. So where do you start? Think about what you don’t like about your teeth. Could they be straighter, whiter, cleaner? Visit your dentist to talk about how you can rejuvenate your smile, it will make all the difference. With better teeth, you’ll instantly feel more confident and won’t have to hide any it away any longer.

Get out more

If you’re at home a lot, you can soon develop a lack of confidence that stops you from saying yes to things. It’s easy to hide away at home, but getting out there can work wonders for your self-esteem. Start accepting invitations and get out there - it will help with any stress your facing and helps you keep in touch with friends. You had a life before you became a mom, so it’s important to hold onto it. Even if it’s just you and the baby, it’s good to go for walks, head out for lunch, etc. This will help you feel more connected to the world and gets you some vitality-boosting fresh air and vitamin D. Make an effort to get out of the house more. The more you do, the higher your confidence will soar.

Celebrate what you’ve achieved

It’s easy to spend the day looking back at all the things you didn’t do, but what about the things you did do? A reverse to-do list could be exactly what you need. Instead of writing down all the things you need to do, spend time at the end of each day writing down what you did achieve. Seeing all of your wins, no matter how small, on paper, will give you some added confidence and show that you are doing well after all.

It’s normal to suffer a confidence crisis from time to time, but the sooner you do something about it, the sooner you bounce back. From changing your skincare routine to meeting new people, you can turn things around and regain your old self-esteem. Stop holding yourself back and find ways to boost your confidence.
