Choose one insecurity to work with for now and really think about where it came from. You can do this by either thinking about it in your head or writing it down in a journal.
Then, face your insecurities. Be sure to feel it. It's okay to feel sad and cry about it, instead of pushing it away. Analyze that insecurity and move onto the next step when you're ready.

Be confident enough to see this with eyes of love. A way to do this would be by imagining a child version of yourself. What would you do if that child had the same insecurity? I assume you would try to comfort them and tell them that their insecurity is beautiful and makes them who they are.

Write down positive affirmations in a journal and re-read them multiple times a day. You will surely gain confidence as days progress and you have to make sure to do this repeatedly.
Some positive affirmations examples :
I offered my best self today
I have the power to make tomorrow a great day
I am worthy
I love myself

Change your mindset. It's not a race between influencers and models. Everyone is different and has their own life experience and stories. We are all made differently and the only person you should compare yourself to is the past you.

Program your mind to only think healthy and positive thoughts. Make sure you are aware when you think negatively and shape that into something positive. Remember to read the affirmations when this happens.
Also, take social media breaks to help change your body and brain. It's been proven that it's healthy to focus more on yourself than the lives of others.
