As a Lifestyle Coach, with an emphasis on confidence, love and relationships, I’m often asked all sorts of questions related to confidence, personal style & flair to love and relationships. People often admire the strong and loving relationship my husband and I have and want to know “the secrets.”
Since my heart’s passion is love, I’m a huge lover of love and wholeheartedly believe in strong, solid relationships and marriage, I thought I’d begin sharing my insights on what makes for a successful, loving and lasting relationship.
I was asked this question and thought I’d share it with all of you.
To maintain the privacy of the individual, I’ve changed the name.

Q. Danyelle, how can I increase my confidence after being out of the dating game for a while?
~From Susan
A. Great question beautiful!
You know getting back into the dating game can be kind of scary, especially in today’s day and time! With all the various social media platforms, there are so many options. Here’s the thing, you have to first and foremost know your worth! True confidence begins in knowing your worth. Self-worth is an “inside job”. What I mean by that is no amount of ‘external things’ can take place of the work that’s done on the inside of you, that is your heart and mind. This means you have keen insight on what you truly desire for yourself. Knowing that what you desire in your heart in terms of a relationship, you are more than capable to have in your life! Knowing your worth also means you know what your ‘assets’ are. That is, you know your advantage, your strengths that you can offer a potential partner. Being fully assured that what you have within you, no other woman can compare. I want to be clear, this is not from a competitive standpoint with anyone else, it’s simply you knowing your assets. When you are fully aligned with who you are and what you desire, that inner self-worth feeds directly into your confidence factor.
Your confidence factor is a direct reflection in how you show up in life. How you think, how you speak, how you act, how you dress, how you walk. Oh YES!!!
On a practical level, here are a few of my recommendation to increasing your confidence.
Tip #1
Look at yourself in the mirror every day and speak positive, confidence affirmations over your life.
Tip #2
Look and BE the part. Dress fabulously daily! All day, every day while you’re in the dating game (and even after you’ve met “the one”) when one looks good, she feels good darling!
Tip 3
I love the quote by Coco Chanel….
A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous!
Show up in life every day looking classy and fabulous. Wear your best attire. Wear your best fragrance. (I can’t tell you how many times men have complimented me on my scent and my confidence.) Same with a man wearing a handsome cologne….but that’s another conversation! HA!!
Tip 4
Is there something you’re extremely good at? Cooking, writing, dancing, crafts, whatever it is do more of it and allow others to see your talent. The more compliments you get continues to feed into your confidence factor! Who doesn’t LOVE a nice compliment?!
Let the world see you shine!
Tip 5
Lastly, step out into the world and let every person see the confidence that lives in you!
