One reason many women’s self confidence takes a nose dive is because their own
self care
gets put on the back burner more often than not. When you’re a caregiver to those around you, it’s easy to fall into
compassion fatigue
which leaves you emotionally exhausted and more prone to feeling overwhelmed and lacking confidence. Because as women we often invest so much of ourselves in our relationships,
personal boundaries setting
is an essential skill for maintaining your own sense of self and confidence. The

When we’re feeling overly stressed or anxious we feel out of control. And when you feel out of control you often ignore or forget what you’re capable of. And working on how to build your self confidence requires you to understand and appreciate what you’re capable of!
