1
You like you and other people are going to be attracted to that and it is going to be good, I promise.
2
Just believe it and keep believing it.
3
Even whenever you find reasons not to believe it, keep believing it. And it...
4
will be reality and i can't believe it's true but it actually will be
5
i wanted to talk about how uncomfortable the journey from insecurity to confidence can actually be
6
because i feel like we glamorize this idea of confidence like
7
people look a certain way maybe they dress a certain way
8
or they act a certain way they talk a certain way they carry themselves
9
actually like and like that process is
10
so different for everybody it's a never -ending journey it's something
11
that you have to upkeep it's like a muscle and training
12
that muscle doesn't always feel good like it can be really painful
13
and it can be ugly and hard
14
and i have watched myself come from an extremely insecure person
15
and of course it's something that i'm still working on every day
16
but i have healed and feel like i am kind of the opposite in some ways like things that
17
made me so confident.
18
I recently, the other day, was just thinking about it and I was like, wow, I love myself.
19
And I have never been able to say that before.
20
Like, I love myself.
21
I love the way I act.
22
I love the way I talk.
23
I love the person I am.
24
I love the friend I am it doesn't mean that they're...
25
aren't things that I still want to improve and learn and things that I will continue to grow in.
26
But I realized for the first time, oh my God, wow.
27
Like I love myself.
28
It just kind of felt like
29
crazy and it hit me in the face
30
because it's like whenever like for example my cat mazy she used to be a tiny little kitten
31
and i have pictures and memories and everything whenever she was so small.
32
but now she's huge, she's big.
33
I've been with her basically every single day, so that change was so gradual, and I feel like that's kind of what happened with my confidence.
34
Like, it was such a gradual journey, like, I didn't really notice at first that these things were changing.
35
If anything, it just felt like a lot of uncomfortable, like, Oh my God, there's a fly.
36
But it just felt like a lot of uncomfortable affirmations and change and all this stuff.
37
And it was just like, oh my God, this is not doing anything.
38
I still feel insecure about this, this and that.
39
But then like gradually as time went on, that changed and I became a different person.
40
not overnight, but like I did after I put in the work that was uncomfortable.
41
I've been making floral arrangements for myself every week.
42
I wanted to make one while - oh!
43
While we're talking about this.
44
I think the first question that I asked myself in the journey was, What does my confident self act like?
45
What does she think like?
46
What does she look like?
47
Like what what is making me so unhappy or insecure in myself right now?
48
What is it?
49
And what does that version of myself who feels good about that or has confidence or isn't thinking about that?
50
What is she doing?
51
Who is that?
52
Like you can kind of do the thing with the whole Beyonce, Sasha Fierce, like creating an alter ego.
53
What does she stand for?
54
What type of friend is she?
55
How does she treat her? herself.
56
Like, you know what I mean?
57
Some people are very visual.
58
I am very visual.
59
I have created vision boards for this and I've created so many on these dream boards.
60
there are outfits there are hairstyles there are photos
61
that just depict a certain energy
62
that i i picture whenever i think of my most confident
63
self creating those visual boards to kind of go back to
64
and see definitely help whatever helps you have like a clear vision of who
65
that person is and everything you could possibly get to know about her having a vision of your most confident self
66
alter ego, whatever it is.
67
Having a vision that you want to achieve, right?
68
You really got to think of every detail.
69
How does this person stand?
70
For example, I've always been insecure about my posture and just like the shape of my back and shoulders.
71
I've just always felt like I kind of have like rounded, hunched, thing going on and I knew that it was
72
coming from stress and insecurity and just like sort of this natural body language
73
that i had and i was uncomfortable it just made me feel insecure
74
and i thought about my most confident self and how she doesn't have
75
that insecurity because she stands up straight like she doesn't have
76
that problem because she can easily have her chest open
77
and feel confident and great she has
78
that body language body language is such an important part you know like of course you can
79
then you start to think about these smaller details like there's
80
layers to it it's like okay of course like what does she look like on the outside
81
but then how does she carry herself and how does she speak
82
that was another thing that honestly i'm sort of actively working on right now
83
because i know that the most confident version of myself is a really powerful communicator
84
when i feel like maybe i'm saying too much sort of dismiss myself and over explain whenever i
85
yourself and having the awareness of, oh my gosh, okay, this is uncomfortable.
86
I don't want to change the way I'm speaking right now
87
because this is how I've spoken for years and years and years.
88
I don't want to stop myself.
89
I don't want to slow down.
90
That's uncomfortable.
91
But oh wait, I remember how she talks.
92
So let me try to reintroduce that a little bit.
93
Like you don't have to force a whole new personality or anything,
94
but it's more about reintroducing patterns and like That's something that I'm still working on very hard,
95
but I have gotten a lot better.
96
I've had the awareness for a long time that my posture is not what I want it to be.
97
I had the awareness 'cause I knew the insecurity and I had the vision of, okay, my most confident self doesn't stand like this.
98
Okay, I'm insecure about this thing, but it wasn't until I actually went through the physical discomfort, like of rolling my shoulders back,
99
taking a breath, stretching the neck loosening up that is just not natural to me
100
and i had to keep going and keep doing it anyways
101
and reminding myself as much as possible until it just started
102
to become how i was able to stand i finally had the strength
103
and the power to stand up straight
104
and relax you know like i was able to build
105
that through the discomfort knowing the insecurity and knowing it well but knowing the vision just as well
106
through the little uncomfortable shifts to match that dream vision
107
that you have body language maybe you can start implementing it into the way
108
that you style your hair or clothes or how you speak
109
or anything small details whatever it is don't make it
110
so hard for yourself with okay i need to change everything
111
tomorrow i'm gonna start speaking like this like that's just not sustainable
112
and that's not gonna work but if you slowly just every time you can kind of just catch yourself a shift,
113
that's where the actual magic happens and it happens slowly and it's not fun.
114
It can even remind you of like what you're insecure about
115
because you're becoming so aware of it and I think of course be careful.
116
That can be unhealthy and hard to always...
117
be like, oh, let me be aware of the way I'm talking or the way I'm standing.
118
Like I, it can be a nuisance.
119
So of course, holding grace for yourself and just knowing that it takes time and don't put too much pressure,
120
just be aware of it and know that the real strong action happens in all of the small movements.
121
So just be patient with yourself, but have the vision, have the vision and be excited about
122
that vision and know that that vision and that version of yourself is you, or else you create it.
123
So I got the little cherry blossom branches from Trader Joe's and I am so happy right now.
124
I just, I've never used these before and they're so beautiful
125
and I know that they're very fragile and going to be pretty short -lived, but I just think it's like the perfect thing for the beginning of spring.
126
And oh, I'm just, I'm so excited about these.
127
Anyway, so getting back to it.
128
euphoria quote by Maddie where she's like doing a Lexi's makeup and she's like What is she saying?
129
She's like, everyone feels stupid and I just chose not to.
130
Like, nobody knows if confidence is real or not.
131
That is facts because nobody knows.
132
People, however they hold themselves, that is how other people will receive them.
133
So.. you don't actually have to fix everything in your brain
134
and feel so amazing about yourself in order to start acting like it.
135
I know that that part can get the most uncomfortable for me because if I feel ugly, then I'm going to the shrugging and the shoulders and the,
136
oh, I can never, it's because it feels more comfortable.
137
So the act of like faking it and pretending to be something else just feels really weird.
138
It feels like I'm putting on shoes that don't fit me.
139
so wrong, like it feels out of the comfort zone.
140
Like you're lying.
141
It can feel like you're lying.
142
How would that confident version act in this situation?
143
and you just pretend.
144
I said it
145
more eloquently yesterday like you just pretend and you sweat
146
while you're doing it and your face gets red
147
while you're doing it and it's uncomfortable
148
but you do it anyways becoming comfortable with something
149
and creating a habit is like the act of forcing yourself
150
to do it for a certain period of time until it becomes natural the more you start
151
forcing yourself to act like it, you slowly start to actually become it.
152
And I know that sounds kind of like, okay, yeah, obviously, but it's just sort of blowing my mind.
153
Like even right now, it's so simple.
154
but it's not easy.
155
You start to enjoy it over time and it does become easier.
156
I know that there have been things that I have seen in myself that I've been insecure about, whether that is mental or physical.
157
And I have told myself the opposite of that.
158
affirmations are part of faking it until you make it i feel like laughing at myself
159
when i'm saying these affirmations in the mirror at first it's actually embarrassing
160
and when you feel embarrassed to do something you think you're going to be excited about waking up
161
and doing it no that is uncomfortable looking yourself in the eye
162
and saying these things that you perceive to be lies right now
163
but pretty soon they're not gonna be and it's weird how it happens if you are reinforcing yourself.
164
"Oh, I hate this thing about me." And "Oh, I just feel so bad about this thing."
165
And you're putting yourself in situations that make you feel insecure
166
and focusing on things that make you insecure and telling yourself those things over and over again.
167
That becomes your reality and that becomes who you are.
168
Whatever you focus on is what grows and you are acting like it even when you don't want to.
169
Like you are doing the work
170
to be that person and you are that person
171
and nobody can tell you otherwise it sounds just sort of
172
like you gotta believe in yourself no it's it's like you will actually you will actually become
173
that person i think a lot of the time we get
174
so caught up in like oh that dream version of me has this designer purse
175
or has a completely different style and i need to change my wardrobe
176
and oh actually she has these shoes and she has this apartment and so i actually need to get all
177
No. Absolutely not.
178
We have to generate it first and then all of that will come.
179
You don't need the designer purse right now to be that dream self.
180
Does she have that?
181
Maybe, of course, we'll get there.
182
The discomfort of reintroducing new habits along with making promises to yourself and following through.
183
For example, I know that my dream self has a certain exercise routine that do I stick to it all the time?
184
Absolutely not.
185
But every time that I reinforce that habit, when I don't feel like doing it, that allows me to trust myself,
186
my dream self, or my goal of mine is to drink more water or oil my hair more often, or it's to go to yoga class twice a week whatever
187
it is building those new habits requires you have to think
188
of it like the discomfort you're feeling in starting a new habit waking up early i'm talking about things
189
that are good for yourself by the way like i know i'm saying discomfort
190
and like pain and all these things a lot like i'm talking about things
191
that are good for yourself but that are hard like going on a walk
192
or waking up early in the morning like things that maybe we don't always want to do them but
193
gas or fuel for the engine that is taking you to the version that you want to be.
194
Whenever I'm forcing myself to like wake up to work out, I would rather be sleeping.
195
No, no, no, no, no. I know that I'm supposed to be going through that discomfort.
196
I know that it's it's normal.
197
It's painful.
198
And whenever something is painful, we just like stray away from it and we don't want to do it anymore.
199
And we don't want to think about it and we put it off.
200
And we're always like, Oh, I just, I wish that I exercised more.
201
And I wish that I cooked for myself more.
202
I wish I could read more or whatever.
203
Like I don't have time.
204
Like that's what that turns into whenever we get so scared of the discomfort.
205
And it's like using that discomfort as fuel to keep
206
because I am really far from this you have to care
207
more about the end result than how you feel right there
208
in the moment it's not instant gratification these things are slow gratification
209
that bring the results that you're always wishing for and wanting the bridge to get there
210
is the discomfort so just know that it's carrying you there it's carrying you to
211
that goal and also i'm going to turn on the light because now we're getting a little dark - Okay.
212
Does this look really bad? Does that look better?
213
No, that looks worse.
214
Making promises to yourself and actually following through with it.
215
So you get the data from the vision.
216
So vision, your most confident self wakes up early every morning and exercises.
217
I don't know, but something like that.
218
So you get the data from the vision.
219
Okay, she does that.
220
Got it.
221
I'm going to make a promise to myself.
222
I'm going to put that in my affirmations.
223
to get it in here and to get it out here
224
and to actually do
225
that i'm gonna make a promise to myself you guys don't understand i think the thing
226
that we get so caught up in is like
227
that drastic change that's why i started the video talking about
228
how we just feel like we need to drastically change in order to be this vision of ourselves
229
and it feels
230
so far away like i i get it like i understand
231
like creating a vision can make you feel really opposite from
232
that version of you but It is so much closer than you think
233
and it's gonna come through smaller actions than you think.
234
Atomic Habits by James Clear helped me so much when it came to forming habits.
235
When you're thinking about how your dream self carries yourself, don't feel like you need to drastically change your speech and your posture and this and that.
236
It's just about reinforcing small ways.
237
And it's the same thing with building habits.
238
Okay, your dream self wakes up early every single day to exercise.
239
Okay, then just start becoming so comfortable with the smallest steps of it.
240
Just picking out an outfit to exercise in.
241
And that's it.
242
Don't exercise.
243
Just wake up early and pick out the outfit.
244
And then slowly you can start waking up early, picking out the outfit, and putting the outfit on.
245
And if you don't want to exercise, you don't have to, but maybe you will feel more inclined to after you've put it on.
246
But if you don't want to, just you don't have to.
247
But you just built a little bit more of the habit.
248
Now, once you feel comfortable with waking up early, picking out the outfit and getting it on, now you can start to go on a 10 minute exercise walk
249
right so now every morning you've you have built that habit of you made sure that you got up every single day.
250
And he goes into detail about like how many days you should be doing this and all that stuff.
251
But I'm just giving you an example of how it doesn't have to feel so daunting and far away.
252
She deadlifts 250 pounds every morning.
253
Like, no, we can get there.
254
But like the most productive and powerful use of your time is going to be making the little efforts there.
255
Just slowly, the simplest step of that habit you can think of, just start doing that every day.
256
And then you'll just, you'll want to do more.
257
When you make promises to yourself and you actually keep them, that is proving to yourself that you are somebody to trust.
258
What's a trait that we recognize in confident people?
259
They trust themselves.
260
If somebody is confident, they feel steady within themselves.
261
They're confident.
262
They're confident in what they're saying because they trust themselves.
263
If you can learn to trust yourself, you can have that sense of confidence
264
too because why would you not be confident in somebody
265
that you know is reliable and you know that you can trust
266
and it works
267
and it works with small things it goes back to what
268
we were just saying it doesn't have to be big it
269
can be these tiny things like i'm gonna drink more water every day
270
and you say that's something you want to do
271
and then you actually commit it's actually
272
so dark in here right now i like just looked at the viewfinder and realized that we are sitting in the
273
will show you and will show your subconscious you are somebody to be trusted who says
274
that they're going to do something and does it.
275
You are a reliable source.
276
People respect a reliable person and somebody with confidence doesn't wait around for people to respect them.
277
They respect themselves and therefore they attract that and they'll surround themselves with people who also respect them.
278
Because why are you going to like somebody who lies to you?
279
Oh, I'm going to do this.
280
Oh, and then they just don't, okay?
281
Like, I don't want to be your friend, I don't trust you.
282
It's the same thing with yourself.
283
Gotta build that trust, and you can do it in favor of your goals, you know?
284
Like, you can build habits, you can say like, yeah, I'm gonna do this, and...
285
stick to it and do it.
286
And it's funny, right?
287
'Cause it's like, we can talk about this all day.
288
And like, I can sit here
289
and feel all good about what I'm explaining to you
290
but it's actually doing it where it's uncomfortable and it doesn't feel good.
291
And we want to run away and turn around and start all over again, but we're not going to do that.
292
because we're going to build the confidence.
293
Okay, next thing is interacting with people becomes a lot less
294
scary and there's a lot less room for insecurity in yourself
295
when you realize that everybody else is just thinking about their own insecurities
296
and they're thinking about their own insecurities so much
297
that they are projecting them onto you and then in turn
298
that kind of like feeds our insecurity like we're just all rubbing each other's egos
299
and like trying to hurt each other all the time
300
because of our own insecurities our insecurities do the talking like if we are out here insulting
301
or talking bad on someone or whatever.
302
And if we feel the need to do that, I'm trying to...
303
Oh, I know how to fix it.
304
What were we talking about?
305
it's not so scary to interact with people
306
when you realize oh my god all they're thinking about is their own insecurities
307
because if they're looking at you a certain way
308
and they're analyzing you or you think they're going to talk about you
309
or they say something to you or whatever like they're saying
310
that to you because they want to feel better about something within themselves
311
that will give them a false sense of this person is below me
312
so therefore i am okay in this area i
313
Confident people don't feel the need to talk about
314
anybody to insult others compare themselves to others to talk about others behind their backs that's just the truth
315
because they're fulfilled with themselves with the people they surround themselves
316
with what they put their attention on they're not going to
317
be wasting time insecurities are vicious they will look for anything
318
they can find to validate themselves criticizing others gives people some sort of false superiority complex
319
that they are better and they are have a reason to feel insecure.
320
When you start to actually care about yourself, you don't feel the need to be hateful.
321
You know, anyone who is being rude to you or talking about you behind your back or, you know, just tries to make you feel shitty about something.
322
It's not your problem.
323
It's not your responsibility.
324
And it's also not about you.
325
It is about them.
326
And, you know, after realizing this fact, it gets really easy.
327
You have that like lens of, okay, this person feels good about themselves.
328
very nice person, but I think that a very easy way to comfort yourself
329
when you're insecure is to try to bring others down.
330
This is sort of going into social anxiety, like what I just said and now what I'm about to say.
331
You kind of got to start switching your mind from like, ah, like being sort of scared of the outside.
332
Well, I'm saying this because I used to have really bad social anxiety.
333
I have been a shy kid all of my life.
334
Like in school, I was not popular.
335
I have always sort of kept to myself and who I trust around me.
336
The idea of like walking into a room
337
and being a part of like a bigger space and group of people who I didn't know, or even people who I did know, used to really freak me out.
338
And then I had to ask myself like, okay, why am I freaked out?
339
What is there?
340
What is making me feel so scared?
341
Like, what is the belief I have in myself?
342
Right.
343
And then we go, it goes back to what we were talking about earlier.
344
You know, the vision, what makes you feel so different from that?
345
Like, what is, what's the issue?
346
Right.
347
So identifying that I realized, like, I think a big thing about being insecure and having social anxiety and stuff is like, you're so aware of the way that you might be coming across,
348
or you don't want to come across to come across a certain way to people, or you have some sort of insecurity around the way that you're acting or being perceived.
349
I have felt that so strongly my whole life, and it wasn't until I started flipping it being like no
350
you know what I have nothing to worry about here walking into a room being excited for these people
351
that they get to experience you you know like seeing yourself in
352
that regard of you're not better than anybody you're not superior
353
but you love yourself
354
and you are excited to add to this room you're excited
355
for the people around you you are excited for your presence
356
to interact with others because you are amazing and you are worthy of
357
that and you are interesting and you love yourself
358
and you love yourself for a reason all of this work
359
that we're talking about all the comfort we're sacrificing to be
360
here we didn't come here to be like oh you know
361
like i'm gonna walk in a room like with my head
362
down a little bit no we came in here to grace everyone with our presence you are putting all this work
363
beautiful and amazing and you get to share that with the world
364
and you get to walk up to people and introduce yourself to people as that person that you love, as that person who is watching this video, as that person who wants to learn,
365
as that person who wants to grow, as that person who does the uncomfortable things for themselves, for the person who keeps the promises to themselves,
366
that person deserves love and respect and you give that to yourself and you're excited for
367
and you're excited for other people to engage with that person.
368
You are your dream self.
369
It's you, and you get to mingle with the world as that person.
370
You don't feel like it right now.
371
I promise you through a little bit of discomfort, you will.
372
And I'm just, I'm getting so passionate because I literally spent my whole life being so insecure,
373
and I have just recently found the beautiful have everything that my dream self would have?
374
No. Like I said, this is a muscle that needs continuous upkeep and maintenance and work.
375
I've seen the proof.
376
Fake it till you make it, but no, like, just like, even if you don't believe it, be like, this is gonna be a great experience for me, and everyone in here is excited to meet me,
377
and maybe some people will act like they aren't, and they'll be rude to you, or maybe they won't like you.
378
Not everyone's gonna like you, right?
379
But like, you like you, and other people are going to be attracted to that and it is going to be good, I promise.
380
Just believe it and keep believing it.
381
Even whenever you find reasons not to believe it, keep believing it. And it...
382
will be reality.
383
And I can't believe it's true, but it actually will be.
384
I wish I could pull like real life footage right now of like moments
385
that I'm thinking of in my head throughout all my teenage years.
386
Even like last year, the year before, just thinking of all these moments where like I was so, I was paralyzed because I was so insecure around people.
387
The last thing I want to say is that there is just nobody like you.
388
I'm not saying this as like fake motivation and trying to make you feel better about yourself.
389
nobody like you there is nobody with your exact vision with
390
your exact strengths talents weaknesses your story your history there's nobody
391
who is meant to do exactly what you're supposed to do there is just
392
so much uniqueness and in every single one of us
393
that we can be so ashamed of
394
that we should ultimately be really really proud of
395
because there is nobody else who is gonna do it like us um whatever
396
that is there are
397
so many people just waiting to look up to you whether that's at your job
398
or in your family or the family you will create
399
or the friends you will make or the friends that you have or the little you
400
and now you're building that confidence or you're trying to reach a certain goal.
401
There are so many people waiting to look up to you
402
and waiting for you to pave the way in whatever area you feel like you're not good enough for.
403
If you don't feel beautiful enough or you don't feel strong enough
404
or you don't feel lucky enough or you don't whatever it is, there are people who feel the exact same way.
405
People need an example.
406
I could not do what I'm doing and build the confidence didn't have role models and examples.
407
The resources I've used for motivation and the books and the tools
408
that I have clung to in the midst of this journey, we need each other in order to do this.
409
Because if there aren't people paving the way, then we might not believe it's possible for us either.
410
You can do it.
411
You are that person and you have that vision for a reason.
412
There are so many other people with goals like yours
413
and maybe they look like you and maybe they come from a similar
414
look up to and they need to know that it's possible
415
and like there are people that can help you know
416
that it's possible and you deserve to feel all the confidence in the world i promise you it is It's worth it.
417
I'm getting emotional.
418
I can't even really explain to you ever since I was little
419
i never felt adequate i never felt i could be somebody
420
in a room i always compared myself to other people
421
and it just makes me sad to like think of little anaya not
422
Feeling good enough and then other people they prey on
423
that like I said earlier insecurity is vicious and if other people Feel silly about something in themselves.
424
They are gonna make you feel really silly about it I have just gone through
425
that like I've had friends make me feel
426
so bad about myself I have compared myself to people and I have felt horrible mentally and physically about things.
427
I'm just in such a different place in my life
428
and i just like never thought that
429
that was possible for me i just always thought i was
430
gonna be the quiet insecure girl who you know of course
431
maybe had a little bit of confidence in this area
432
and like oh can maybe do this a little bit
433
or this and that but i didn't think i could grow past those points
434
and to see myself choosing to do the things that are
435
so uncomfortable but they they pay off in a way
436
that is just so rewarding and in a way that encourages me to keep Going I I could talk about this forever.
437
I really could I just hope you know
438
that like you are not alone in this journey
439
and all of us Feel this way to a certain extent
440
all of the time It's just a matter of who's good
441
at combating it who is consistent with going through the discomfort of reinforcing new ways of thought
442
and new ways of thinking seeing themselves and showing that to the world.
443
I think it's beautiful to be able to help each other out
444
and I wish that we could all just be vulnerable
445
and lift each other up but sadly that's not always the way our world works
446
but just know that I am here to do that for you.
447
I I'm so proud of you.
448
And if you listened to all of this, I am so grateful.
449
If you did, can you let me know?
450
Because I have a belief.
451
See?
452
Here, actively, right here, I have a belief in my head that I'm like, nobody cares what I have to say.
453
That's not true.
454
And I know that's not true.
455
I do think that people care what I have to say because I care what I have to say, you know?
456
Like, don't let that, like, that insecurity is something that it likes to peek itself in, but I am going to shift my focus.
457
Very grateful if you listened.
458
Let me tweak this a little bit and show you our final product here.
459
you

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
