Oranicuhh, a singer/songwriter started the #EgoChallenge! The purpose of this challenge is to take a moment to celebrate yourself. So, contribute to the #EgoChallenge---take a second, when you're all alone,
-
to say the things you love about yourself. You might feel silly doing it, but you'll feel much better in the end.

When you're surrounded by negative people it can be almost impossible to feel good about yourself. QueenPretti, on Instagram, said, "Dnt let them waste your time, if they dnt deserve it
-
and remember time is precious."
So, cut out the negative people and shut out the haters. Trust the voice deep inside your head that knows all your inner and outer

When you're feeling really insecure, sometimes it feels like you don't deserve to take care of yourself. You don't deserve a massage, a trip to the movies, or just a
-
day to yourself. But, everybody needs some time for self-care and you certainly deserve it.
Shamarienash shared, "After an awesome early morning of self-care at the gym and therapist's office,
-
my girl and I danced around the kitchen while I ate breakfast. Dancing while eating means I get to eat more, right?"
So, take some time to treat yourself. If that means the
-
gym, a mani-pedi, or even a glass of champagne, you take that moment for yourself and enjoy the hell out of it.

It might seem counter intuitive, but sometimes the fastest way to shut down an insecurity is to show it off. It won't be easy to expose your anxieties to the
-
world, but when you let out the part of you that you're scared for the world to see, you realize that it's not really that bad. People won't point and
-
laugh at you, instead, they'll celebrate how brave and strong you are.
JennyRieu posted, "As it turns out it is hard for me to post this because it makes me see
-
how much cellulite I have. The thing with being a body positive activist is that you can still struggle with loving yourself. I work out and I work pretty damn hard
-
yet I still have a belly and cellulite but I don't let that stop me from rocking this look. Because f*** it why not. We went for an 1980s inspired look
-
and well back then I wasn't the woman they dreamt to use in their videos and things are changing now but I know my look isn't everyone's favorite. However I have a right
-
to be and to express myself so there. Also I'm not 5'9 either yet I decided to become a model anyway. So anything goes!"

Whether it's family, friends, or both, use a close knit group to help overcome your negative feelings. If you're feeling insecure, you might pull away from those you love. Instead, spend
-
more time with those people. Let their love for you become love for yourself.
Also, sometimes you just have to fake it till you make it. If you have kids, try
-
to set an example of a person who knows their worth. You'll find that sometimes even faking that posture will translate into you actually conquering your insecurities. And watching your
-
kids or friends get stronger from your confidence is a gift.
ThePoeticTruth said it best, "We all got visions!"
It doesn't matter who you are, everyone has their insecurities. Maybe you don't like your body, or maybe you don't think you're smart enough. It's natural to feel insecure sometimes.
