Here at Burlesque With Paris, we understand the importance of self-esteem and self-confidence in living a fulfilling and adventurous life. It can be daunting to step outside of our comfort zones and try something new, but by surrounding ourselves with positivity and uplifting mantras, we can boost our self-esteem and gain the confidence needed to take on new challenges.

Here are Burlesque With Paris's top three positive mantras to live by, designed to improve self-esteem and empower individuals to embrace new experiences with courage and self-assurance.

“I am worthy”

“I am worthy of everything good in life. I deserve to be happy”

Each and every one of us are worthy and it’s time to stand in front of the mirror and say to yourself “I AM WORTHY”. To be worthy of something is to recognise your value in society as a human being, regardless of body shape or size, your abilities, mental health issues, the colour of your skin, or any other influenced personal opinions you may have. Whatever you’re about, whoever you are, you are worthy and you’re worthy of your own love.

“It’s okay to make mistakes”

“The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence; the past is a place of learning, not a place of living”

No one in life is perfect and we all make mistakes. Every single one of us makes a fool of ourselves once in a while and in some instances regrets our own actions, behaviors or things we’ve said. But instead of being hard on ourselves for screwing up, know it’s okay to make mistakes! As long as you haven’t hurt yourself or anyone else you can guarantee that your mistake will be forgotten about in a few days, weeks or months time and it will be somebody else’s turn. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

“I can create my own opportunities”

“Live the life of your dreams: Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams according to your vision and purpose instead of the expectations and opinions of others”

We all have our own ideas and dreams in life and we are all more than capable of creating our own opportunities. Many of us think that we aren’t good enough to succeed, even if we put ourselves out there. But you can succeed, you can create your own opportunities and experience new adventures. You just need to believe in yourself, follow your dreams, and don’t give up. When you believe in yourself, anything is possible.
