What is confidence?

Confidence the feeling or belief that one can have faith in or rely on someone or something.(Oxford dictionary meaning)
So now lets come to women in specific, what does it mean when we say a woman is confident?


A confident woman is a woman who is confident(obviously), self-loving,  independent, open-minded and disciplined.


Now, let me carefully explain the words I used to define a confident woman.

Confident - is having faith in yourself, believing that you can be and do anything you set your mind to. Does not mean being an entitled person.

Self-love - most people confuse self love with selfishness, while the two are completely different. Self-love is simply loving yourself. Does not mean loving ONLY yourself. Self-love is a very underrated word and is not practiced well enough. Self-love is looking out for yourself both physically and mentally. Physically can be exercising, eating healthy, taking care of your body, all those things us women do to keep ourselves looking flawless. Mentally can be keeping a positive thought for ourselves and others, surrounding oneself with a good, positive and energetic environment can be families, friends, relatives, colleagues, classmates, roommates and so on...

Independence - being independent does not mean to be isolated and doing everything by yourself or not seeking help when needed. It means to stand by yourself with the things you can possibly achieve. 
Open-minded means being open to different opinions not being stuck in one's own mind and thoughts every time. Be open to different ideas and experiences. Learn how to take a comment good or bad. 

Discipline - discipline is the key not only to become a confident woman but also to become a better person. Discipline is a very important thing in life, when we were kids our parents, our neighbors, our teachers used different techniques to discipline us, whenever we misbehaved. It can be refusing to buy us that doll we have been asking for, grounding, detentions in schools also whooping in my case.
Now, you are grown all those things can not apply, you are on your own and is able and old enough to make your own decisions and you have to make your own rules now to discipline yourself.

"Enough with the damn lectures Eden, how can I do that?!", you might say.
And my answer is just one word PRACTICE!
