With girls and women supporting each other, more than ever, we all want to feel confident, powerful, and strong. In the past few years, the number of women who strength train has increased greatly. Lifting, training, and eating well are all ways to contribute to our overall mental and physical health.

1. Rock Some Confidence with Your Outfit

When you start to really be committed to the gym, and see you body begin to change, your mindset changes as well. Knowing that you can lift heavy weights, go the extra mile, and feel healthy can boost your confidence, and be proud of the things you have already accomplished. When you work out, your body release endorphins which are the chemicals that make you happier and relieve your stress. The extra confidence and happiness will push your body to do more and keep going.

2. Good Core, Good Posture

What better way to show off your confidence in a cute outfit, than good posture to catch everyone's eye? Core workouts, yoga, or any movement related to your abdominal and lower back muscles will improve your posture and flexibility. Also, while strength training, there is a heavy importance on "good form/posture," which can be translated to always being conscious of good posture.

3. Eat Good, Feel Good

What you put into your body is just as important as what is on the outside. The foods you eat affect how you feel without a doubt. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and good fats can all be ingredients to make your body more energized and healthy. Products like soft drinks, syrups, and candy bars can cause rapid spikes and drops in your blood sugar levels which could make you feel tired and irritable. Not only do these sugars bring your mood down, but they contribute to weight gain, which could make you feel less confident and sluggish.

Working out and eating right is an amazing commitment to have, and shows through hard work and perseverance. Join all the women who are continuing to improve themselves every day. Ask some friends to work out with you, or meal prep with you once a week. Get ready for next summer by starting a new confident you today.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
