Birds of a feather f lock
together
Becoming confident doesn’t
happen overnight, but this
one trait can serve as a
powerful tool throughout
your entire life.
Step 1: Taking the time to
recognize the things you
like about yourself sounds
cheesy, I know, but this
exercise made me realize I
have many more things that
I like about myself, than the
negatives I was focusing on
(which was greatly due to
the fact I was way too
focused on what the
“popular” girls thought).
Step 2: The phrase “birds
of a feather flock together”
couldn’t be more true. I
found surrounding myself
with positive and
supportive friends made a
huge difference in my
happiness. Why in the
world do girls believe in
altering their personality
and values to gain
popularity and influence?
The answer is easy.. A lack
of confidence! When did
that group you so
desperately want to fit in do
something amazing? What
makes them “perfect”? I
know it’s tough to ignore,
but peer pressure doesn’t
exist if we don’t allow it to
control us.
Step 3: Finding a passion
that accelerates your “Girl
Power.” Using your passion
or talent as a tool to meet
likeminded people brings a
whole new meaning to the
term “popular.” Sharing
your knowledge and talents
with others takes you
beyond that clique you
thought was perfect.
Let’s face it, girls
can be mean
Step 4: I have found that
writing down my goals gives
me a visual perception of a
real accomplishment. My
steps to Girl Power are
really not that difficult. Like
yourself, surround yourself
with positive friends, find a
passion, build your own
“popular” group and get
moving!
Step 5: Get up and get
moving! Exercise fuels
motivation and gives us the
energy to go forward with
our goals.
“Girl Power” will give you
the ability to be a
superhero. What are you
waiting for? Find your “Girl
Power”
