Being Your Own Biggest Cheerleader: How to Hype Yourself Up Daily
I Used to Wait for Others to Believe in Me—Until I Decided to Believe in Myself.
For the longest time, I thought confidence came from people cheering you on. I thought if people supported me, if they validated me, if they told me I was doing a good job, then I’d believe in myself.
But what happens when no one claps for you?
🚨 What happens when your friends don’t get it?
🚨 What happens when people dismiss your dreams?
🚨 What happens when no one sees your progress?
You either quit—or you learn to hype yourself up.
💡 Because the truth is, no one is going to believe in you more than you believe in yourself.
Here’s how I became my own biggest cheerleader—and how you can, too.
1. I Stopped Waiting for Recognition
I used to get frustrated when people didn’t notice my progress.
• No one saw how hard I was working.
• No one cheered when I hit small wins.
• No one acknowledged how much I was pushing myself.
Then I realized:
🚨 It’s not their job to celebrate me—it’s mine.
So now? I celebrate everything.
✔ Finished a task? Hype myself up.
✔ Took a scary step? Hype myself up.
✔ Showed up for myself today? That’s a win.
💡 Try This: Start tracking your wins, no matter how small. The more you celebrate yourself, the more unstoppable you feel.
2. I Created a Personal Hype Playlist
This one is simple—but a game-changer.
I made a playlist full of songs that make me feel like:
✔ I’m that girl.
✔ I’m unstoppable.
✔ I can take on anything.
💡 Try This: Pick 5 hype songs and play them every morning. Watch how your energy shifts.
3. I Talk to Myself Like I’m My Best Friend
Would you ever say this to your best friend?
❌ “You’re not good enough.”
❌ “You’re probably going to fail.”
❌ “You should just give up.”
No? Then why are you saying it to yourself?
Try This: Next time self-doubt creeps in, talk to yourself the way you’d hype up your best friend.
Hype Yourself First, The World Will Follow
✔ Celebrate yourself—even when no one else does.
✔ Surround yourself with things that energize you.
✔ Talk to yourself like you already believe in you.
