3 Surprising Ways You Can Feel Confident and Sexy




In a world of overtime, underpayment, and increased stress, it can feel like we have no time at all for ourselves, and many of us don’t. A 2019 study entitled “The You Time Report” found that of 1,000 adults in the United States who were surveyed, 40% stated that they don’t have time for themselves during their day, meaning proper self-care becomes an issue in that it is difficult to adequately complete or apply as much as needed.

To put that into context, if it were to be applied to the entire population of the United States it would equate to potentially 131,000,000 American citizens who don’t have time to care for themselves as they should. This is a problem since self-image issues and related illnesses are on the increase for various reasons, not least unattainable lifestyles and images portrayed by glossy magazines and “reality” TV shows.

Professional Photographs

What you might not know is that there are photographers available that have a talent for capturing the best side of your inner and outer beauty. One surprising and increasingly popular method of feeling good about yourself is to hire a professional artist to photograph you in a confident or sexy pose that can allow your inner light to shine through and impress everyone who sees it.

Most people will opt for either a still image photograph or painting while sitting or standing in their favorite dress or suit and you don’t need to worry about looking good either. Many photographers also offer professional makeup and hairstyling as part of the service which will boost your image and body confidence should you opt for the more risqué boudoir photographer who can capture your intimate side to boost your power, confidence, and sensuality.
 
The Classic Makeover

You’ve seen this in the movies countless times. The downtrodden and unconfident working girl is transformed into the glorious swan princess she always was. It’s basically Cinderella over and over, but for some reason we all love the makeover as it’s a classic technique for bringing out the best in ourselves. Given that the Covid-19 pandemic has forced many salons and style parlors to close though, a makeover may not be your most available option at the moment.

It might also be the case that the pandemic has forced you to work from home, but when it's over you might want to go back to work feeling confident and sexy with a new look. According to supermodel Kate Moss, makeup can change your personality and is a “really powerful way of expressing who you are”, and one study agrees. Research has found that wearing makeup really does boost confidence and can help with work performance and general wellbeing.

Don’t Try Too Hard

You've probably heard the phrase “less is more” and when it comes to feeling sexy and confident it really can mean something. Wearing makeup and styling it up can be an excellent way to make yourself feel confident but you really need to know who you really are as well. Going au naturel can be an excellent way of feeling sexy because it allows you to examine your face and body as it really is. Learn to accept yourself or others won’t either, and when you go out as you really are and get compliments, your confidence will skyrocket.

Additionally, don’t try to be sexy all the time with your best clothes and most seductive underwear. Feeling sexy all the time can take away the uniqueness of it which can lead to both you and your partner becoming bored with the whole concept which will undoubtedly negatively affect your love life. By all means, dress for confidence at work, but leave the sexy for the special occasions with that special someone.

Capture It, Keep It, Use It

You might be one of the hundreds of millions of people who don’t have time for themselves because of work or family commitments. Too little time for yourself can cause you to lose faith in yourself and lower self-esteem, body image, and confidence. But there are some things you can do.

Professional photographers can capture your inner and outer beauty for you to show off to everyone, or keep for yourself and your partner should you choose a riskier photoshoot.

Changing your style and wearing makeup that suits you properly has been shown to improve confidence and performance at work.

However, you should be careful not to overdo it when it comes to trying to be sexy as the novelty can wear off, so it should be saved for special moments with the right partner.
