How to Feel Confident When You’re Exhausted

Today, I had no time to take a shower and had greasy hair while having to meet with two people briefly and going to the grocery store. I still need to take a shower, but I still don’t have the time to take one. Have you ever been in the same situation?

I sometimes struggle with feeling like 100% myself when my hair is greasy, but I will tell you something. I am more than my hair. My hair is a part of me, yet it is not me. Most, if not all, people have days when they need to jump in the shower, but they can’t. While not everybody likes to admit it, there are seasons in our lives or constant states where it’s hard to do everything on your list. It can be easy to get down or be critical of yourself, but we are all doing the best we can.

Something that I like to do when I feel like I have no time to invest in myself is get my dry-erase markers and go to my bathroom mirror. On my mirror, I write affirmations that I need to hear. Every time I look in the mirror or wash my hands, I glance at the different affirmations I wrote on the mirror and recite them to myself. It’s something that takes very little time, but will slowly make an impact. The more you tell yourself positive things, the more you will know they are true. If you are beyond tired and need a pick-me-up that takes little effort and a small amount of money, grab a dry-erase marker and write beautiful, happy messages to yourself on your bedroom or bathroom mirror. You are amazing, and sometimes when we’re tired or going through something, we forget it. Reading affirmations might sound cheesy, but believe me, it works!
