5 Ways to Amp Up Your Mojo

“Mojo: The libido, the life force, the essence, the right stuff, what the French call a certain ... ‘I don’t know what’” ~Dr Evil in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

“Mojo” refers to your self-confidence, self-esteem, self-efficacy, or even sex appeal. If you’re feeling like your mojo could use a boost, here are five simple ways to amp up your mojo:

1. Make a list of what’s mojolicious about you right now. “Mojolicious” means the things about you that are deliciously sublime and wonderful. People who have mojo are confident -- they know why they are the cat’s meow. So the first thing to do to amp up your mojo is to know why you are fantastic... why you are mojolicious. So start detailing your positive attributes (e.g., your dashing smile, sterling sense of humor, cute buns, brilliance, creativity). This will automatically start to boost your self-confidence and your mojo. If you want a super boost, ask some people that are close to you (at least one, but as many as you are willing to ask) what they think is special and wonderful about you. When they tell you write it down on your mojolicious list (without editions), and don’t discount what they say or try to be humble. Mojo is not about humility. Just take it in and say “Thank you, it’s true.”
2. Do something outrageous and daring. Nothing boosts your mojo like flexing your courage muscles. Whether it’s sky diving or asking out that hottie at work you’ve been secretly eyeing for 2 years, moving out of your comfort zone will definitely amp up your mojo.
3. Look your best. Wear flattering clothes, get your hair done, do your nails, etc. When you look your best you feel your best, and that’s what having mojo is all about.
4. Flirt. Flirtation is putting favorable attention and appreciation on someone else. You can also think of it as using your communication skills with a twist of fun, frolic, jesting, merriment, jocularity, and mirth. It does not have to be about attracting a mate; it can just be about connecting to that most fun-loving and attractive person inside of you (this is important even when you already have a significant other). If you're married or in a committed relationship, flirt with your significant other. You can also flirt with others, but I suggest you flirt lightly or in situations where your flirtations will not be ambiguous &/or taken the wrong way. Or as E.W. Howe counsels “To avoid mistakes and regrets, always consult your [partner] before engaging in a flirtation.” If you're single and looking to attract that special person, flirt with everyone you can. Do not flirt to get anything, just flirt to enjoy yourself. It's fun and it will surely boost your mojo.
5. Get in tune with your body and it’s natural sex appeal. Slow down and saunter while you walk. Stand up straighter. Feel your curves. Swing your hips. Get in tune with the rhythms of your body. Move like the sexiest creature you can imagine -- whether that’s a jaguar or a pole dancer. If you move it, you’ll feel it.
