Self-care is a term we hear a lot, often paired with social media posts of someone doing something nice for their body, like getting a massage or mani-pedi. But less talked about and less sexy is the kind of self-care that focuses on our inside - our mental health, which affects our confidence and the way we show up for ourselves and others.

In this episode, communications expert Amber Rose West will give you two essential and transformative self-care practices that you may never have heard of before. Put these in your rotation to maintain higher levels of self-confidence in yourself, in your head, in your emotions, and in your mental state. Instead of a “fake-it-til-you-make-it” strategy in which you portray confidence you don’t really feel, Amber, teaches you how to exude authentic confidence that comes from the inside out.

These two practices will help you be more attractive, not just in your appearance but in the energy you have in your life. They will help you attract more positive people and opportunities and build more happiness and fulfillment.

Highlights in this Episode:

• Amber talks about the study of communications and how her specialty is intrapersonal communication - how we communicate with ourselves.
• In this consumer society, everyone profits when we hate ourselves. To be happy, we are told we need to buy something, or we participate in activities that only temporarily make us feel good - like eating or binge-watching Netflix.
• It can be difficult for ambitious women to admit that they engage in negative self-talk.
• Part of being a confident woman is taking accountability for the way that you treat yourself.
• Negative self-talk are things that keep you stuck and don’t serve your highest self.
• Usually, our self-bullying manifests in small things throughout the day, but small actions lead to big impact.
• Amber explains how to do an inventory of self-hate and recommends writing down every bad thing you say to yourself for 30 days.
• Create a happiness file in which you keep evidence of doing good and things that can combat your negative self-talk.
• Loving yourself more is important - but that idea can be very overwhelming if you’re struggling to like yourself. But liking yourself can be small daily actions that will prepare you for the climb of loving yourself.
• When we open the door to liking ourselves, others will start to like us too.
• Amber gives concrete ideas on how to like yourself and what to say to help you reinforce this positive behavior.
