We all have those moments where our inner-critic is the only thing we can focus on. 

On those days, do you surround yourself with the people that lift you up, or do something that you know makes you feel good? 

We asked our Instagram community: What is one way you boost your self-confidence? If your confidence isn’t where you want it to be today, here are a few pieces of advice that helped the IDONTMIND community. 

We hope these tips can help you too.
