I don't want this to sound mean, but if you are someone who works a nine to five throughout the week that you're not passionate about, you don't care about your body, you're not working towards any goals,

you spend 90 % of your free time scrolling, you're a people pleaser and your inner monologue is always negative, of course you're not confident.

How are you going to be confident living a life like that?

It's like you've opted out of participating in your own life.

But this is your life.

Act like it.

Become someone worth being confident in.

And if you don't know where to start, have no fear.

In today's video, I'm going to share my confidence tips with you.

These are just some things that have made me less pathetic, desperate, and insecure over the years.

And I am confident that if you apply these things to your life, you'll start to feel confident too.

Genuine confidence is like a muscle that's built over time.

You can't create it without action.

You don't have fitness results before you go to the gym.

You'll never be confident in social situations if you don't practice talking to people.

You'll never be confident in your body if you don't start taking care of it and talking positively about yourself.

How are you supposed to be confident in your ability to show up online if you never show up online?

How could you be confident in your personality if you don't even know who you are?

So start getting to know yourself better.

Confidence is knowledge.

I've heard it put this way.

When you first start a new job, it takes time for you to become confident with it.

For example, I became a bartender the day after my 21st birthday.

I didn't know if Grey Goose was rum or vodka at that point.

I might have even thought it was whiskey.

I really was so lost.

I had no idea what I was doing, but now I'm 25.

I've been bartending for the last four years and I could do it in my sleep.

It's the exact same with becoming confident in yourself.

You have to get to know yourself very well.

Work on becoming self -aware.

A Harvard study showed that 95 % of people think they're self -aware, but only 10 to 15 % actually are.

So even if you think you're self -aware, think again.

Being self -aware means that you clearly understand your own thoughts, feelings actions and how your mood

and your stress impacts the people around you it's becoming aware of your trauma

and what triggers you you really have to be more introspective

and there are so many different practices

that can help you with this keep a journal reflect on your everyday life go to therapy the thing

that helps me become more self -aware and i do this every

so often is to do a self -audit look at your life as

if you were a stranger on the outside looking in literally

just audit each category of your life your relationship your job your friendships your daily habits.

If you were a stranger, what kind of person would you perceive yourself as?

What blind spots do you notice?

Are you happy with what you see?

Is this a person you'd want to be?

Focus on that.

It's step one.

You've got to know what your morals, values, and goals are.

You have to know what your confidence stands for.

What do you represent?

What is your confidence protecting?

Who are you?

The second thing that'll help you with your confidence is to practice self -love.

Let go of being a people pleaser.

Change yourself talk.

Make sure it's not negative.

Say positive affirmations if you need to.

If I accidentally say something negative about myself, I'll correct myself out loud in front of anyone who heard me say it.

Set healthy boundaries.

Start saying no. Say no to things that drain you or make you feel inadequate.

When I stopped drinking, I had to start saying no every time I got invited out.

I hate bars.

I hate clubs.

It's never been my scene and i genuinely don't have fun

when i go so especially

when i stopped drinking i was like i can't do this

shit sober have you ever been in the club sober girl

and like i also don't like drinking it doesn't make me feel good i don't have fun

when i'm drunk so what's the point in being in

that environment sober or not either way i'm gonna have a bad time

and i'm not about to keep putting myself in

that situation just to make other people happy when i don't enjoy it at all i'm gaining nothing from that experience.

And it was hard at first, but people respect all of my notes without prying because I never fold.

And yeah, I get called lame, especially when I won't go out after work with my coworkers or my regulars.

I mean, what kind of bartender doesn't drink?

But I don't give a singular fuck.

I don't.

And I don't mean to sound so arrogant, but I've got more important shit to do.

I would rather get called lame by people that don't understand me than go out just to please them.

My time is valuable.

My energy is valuable.

And I need to protect both so I can put them towards my dreams and my goals.

You need to have that kind of certainty in your values and decisions in order to be confident in them.

That's why self -awareness is so important.

That's why it's step one.

You first need to be self -aware so you know what your values

and your goals are and what your decisions need to be.

That way you know what your confidence is standing for and protecting.

This also falls under the practice self -love umbrella.

But make sure you're taking care of your body, eat enough, eat healthy food, drink enough water, go to the gym.

Obviously, everyone knows taking care of your body is good for you, and doing something that is universally recognized as good makes you feel a little more confident.

Stop comparing yourself to other people.

It is so much easier said than done.

Delete social media if you have to.

Unfollow people that make you feel bad about yourself.

I'm gonna put myself on blast for a second.

When I was in high school, I used to feel so threatened by pretty girls who could sing and write music.

That was supposed to be my thing.

100

Like, I invented that but I had to learn that acknowledging

101

that someone else is beautiful and talented doesn't erase your talent or diminish your radiance at all.

102

I always used to feel like the more people there are in the world who do what I do, the less valuable I was because I was easier to replace, but baby, we're people.

103

We're not products.

104

We're not parts that need to be replaced.

105

Your power is the fact that there's only one of you.

106

Your unique energy cannot be replicated.

107

There is no comparison.

108

It doesn't even matter that there are thousands of other people in your niche.

109

There's only one of you.

110

So focus on what makes you who you are.

111

It's not just your talents or solely what's on the outside.

112

It's the unique gifts that God gave you and how you use them.

113

It's the energy that's within you and only you.

114

You bring something to the table that no one else can.

115

Let your confidence come from that.

116

Stop judging other people.

117

I know you do.

118

We all do.

119

The universal advice for confidence is don't worry about what other people think.

120

But if you yourself are constantly judging other people, of course you're going to assume that other people are doing the same to you.

121

Be honest with yourself about this.

122

Do you judge other people often?

123

You don't have to admit it publicly.

124

This is about self -awareness.

125

Being judgmental is a major sign of insecurity, even if it's in the privacy of your own mind.

126

It reveals your own hidden insecurities and unspoken rules you've set for yourself.

127

Emphasizing a small fault in someone else can serve as a distraction from blind spots in your own life.

128

I'll quote the Bible.

129

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye

130

and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

131

Fix your own major faults before you try to correct the small mistakes of other people.

132

If you have a harsh and critical spirit, it shows that you struggle to extend grace and forgiveness to yourself.

133

Heal that.

134

You can't be confident if you're overly judgmental to yourself or to others.

135

It screams you're insecure and insecure energy makes you ugly.

136

Just saying.

137

Practice talking to people.

138

This helps build social confidence and for my anxious girlies, trust me, I know it's hard.

139

This is coming from the girl who was pulled out of public school because her anxiety was so bad.

140

Practice talking to people in real life, face to face, in person.

141

My job is actually what helped me get better at talking to people.

142

I became a server at 19 and obviously you have to talk to your tables to get their orders.

143

I'm not saying you have to go out and get a job that forces you to be social.

144

That's just how I got better at it.

145

Start small.

146

Ask the cashier how their day is going at the grocery store.

147

Compliment a stranger's outfit at the mall.

148

Start a conversation with someone you don't know before class starts.

149

I believe in you.

150

Stop oversharing.

151

Once you get better at talking to people, make sure you don't get into the habit of oversharing.

152

It is so much easier to show up confidently when nobody knows what's going on in your life.

153

Leave questions unanswered.

154

The world does not need to know your business, particularly at school and at work.

155

Bro, I don't tell my co -workers anything.

156

Nothing at all.

157

What goes around goes around for real.

158

Like there are no secrets at all.

159

And it's not that I don't like my co -workers because I really do.

160

They're great people.

161

But people have big mouths and you never know who's preying on your downfall.

162

Call me paranoid, but it's true.

163

You start to feel really powerful

164

when you're in full control of what kind of access people

165

have to information about you this is not a joke i take this

166

so seriously you should too you never know who's keeping tabs on you

167

or why protect your peace don't overshare keep promises to yourself

168

this is not unique advice i'm sure you've heard this before

169

if you tell yourself you're gonna do something make sure you

170

actually do it let's say you have a friend named laura

171

and laura is infamous for being late but y 'all have lunch plans tomorrow

172

and she tells you she'll meet you at the restaurant at 1 30 how much confidence do you have

173

that laura's actually going to show up at 1 .30?

174

Probably very little, right?

175

I mean, the girl's always late.

176

When she says she'll be there at 1 .30, you take it with a grain of salt.

177

You know you're probably fine to show up at 1 .50 and she still won't be there.

178

It's no different with yourself.

179

If you always tell yourself, I'm going to get up early tomorrow and you never actually do it, how much confidence do you have that you're actually going to get up early tomorrow if you say it today?

180

Get serious about this.

181

Promise yourself, okay, I'm going to make my bed when I get up in the morning and actually do it.

182

This builds inner trust.

183

Confidence and trust are synonymous.

184

Another great way to build trust within yourself is to stop asking other people for permission.

185

Other people don't have to agree with you in order for a decision about your life to be the right one.

186

If you have to ask for someone else's opinion before every little thing that you do, hello, red flags all around.

187

That's a major sign of insecure, desperate energy.

188

No more of that.

189

I've said this a million times.

190

I will probably say this in every single video I make because I believe in it so strongly.

191

Stop waiting to feel ready before you do the thing.

192

Do it scared.

193

Do it anxious.

194

Use discernment with this because it doesn't apply to everything, but do it unprepared.

195

Confidence is a result, not a prerequisite.

196

Feeling ready rarely actually happens.

197

Sometimes you just gotta jump and the confidence will come later.

198

I wasn't ready to start my first YouTube channel when I did.

199

I just realized that no one was gonna do it for me.

200

I had to swallow my ego and go for it.

201

Now it's just a normal part of my everyday life.

202

I've genuinely always been the kind of person who just goes for it when she wants something.

203

And I'm so passionate about this.

204

I would love to teach other people how to do this too.

205

So much good has come of it.

206

This is more about physical confidence, just like being confident in how you look.

207

Create a beauty maintenance schedule and stick to it.

208

The important part is that you stick to it.

209

If you find yourself saying things like, I wanna be the kind of person who's just naturally pretty, who doesn't have to try at all.

210

She just wakes up looking like a model.

211

I hate to break it to you, babes, but that shit is not natural for 99 .9999999 % of people.

212

It's called being high maintenance to be low maintenance.

213

You might have heard of it on TikTok.

214

That's years and years of self -care and maintenance routines stacked on top of each other.

215

That's a skincare routine that's never skipped.

216

It's a gym schedule that's stuck to.

217

For some people, it's getting Botox or filler.

218

It's eating healthy and drinking enough water.

219

There's actually a lot of effort that goes into looking effortlessly beautiful every single day.

220

I do a full maintenance routine at home at least once or twice a week where I'm taking an everything shower, washing my hair, dermaplaning, touching up my brows.

221

I do a face mask two or three times a week.

222

I dye my hair every so often.

223

I do my nails as needed.

224

I never skip my skincare routine.

225

I'm very strict about it.

226

I do not play about my maintenance.

227

And that's been the most productive thing for my physical confidence.

228

I grew up chopped.

229

We're never looking back.

230

When you have a strict beauty maintenance schedule that you stick to, It's like your starting point or your baseline

231

when you're getting ready is already good

232

If you keep your house clean all the time You don't

233

have to stress over deep cleaning your house every time you have company over

234

because your house is already clean I don't know.

235

That's kind of how I think about my physical self -care If I just keep up with it all the time, I can show up confidently

236

Spontaneously like I don't I don't have to think about whether

237

or not my nails are done because they're always done Is that crazy?

238

Maybe I just have too much time But do as much or as little as you want it's up to you, but it's just really important to try your best to stick to it.

239

If you had a whole fitness journey and you finally hit your goal weight, you're not going to be able to maintain it if you don't continue eating healthy and going to the gym.

240

Once your skin is finally clear, you have to keep up with the skincare regimen to keep it that way.

241

If you get a full set of acrylics done, you have to go back and get them filled every two weeks or so to keep them looking good.

242

And I don't mean for this to sound so overwhelming, but the effort never ends.

243

For most things in life, there isn't a point where it stops and you can give up

244

and stop putting in effort and stop trying and still expect the same result.

245

There's maintenance involved with everything.

246

You have to do work to maintain the results.

247

But confidence feels really good and it's well worth the time and effort.

248

My final point for this video might come off a little controversial, but every day when I wake up, if I'm leaving the house at all, I get ready like I'm gonna run into my enemies.

249

Think the girls that don't like you.

250

Your ex -boyfriend.

251

You truly never know who you'll see when you leave the house, so make sure you look put together.

252

I'm not saying you got to be dressed to the nines with a full face of makeup on to go to target.

253

Who does that?

254

But at the very least, look clean.

255

Look like you give a damn.

256

Make sure you'd be okay with unexpectedly running into your boss, a client, someone from high school, your ex, or your haters looking the way that you do.

257

A lot of people when they talk about confidence will say, oh it needs to come from within.

258

You should be confident without the hair and the makeup and everything else.

259

And I'm like, okay, yes, in a perfect world, sure, absolutely.

260

But can we be so fucking for real for a second?

261

Out of all the people I know that are truly confident, not one of them shows up anywhere looking a mess.

262

They always look put together.

263

You know why?

264

Because they love themselves.

265

They have self -respect.

266

Over time, showing up looking your best no longer comes from a place of insecurity or dressing like you're gonna run into your ex.

267

It becomes a habit that comes from a place of loving how you feel

268

when you put some effort into your appearance

269

and respecting yourself enough to prioritize

270

that daily dress like someone who respects themselves do your hair

271

and makeup like someone who loves to love how they look show up as someone who is confident

272

and it becomes your reality become the kind of person who

273

takes action i didn't even write this in my notes it just came to me

274

but i think that's the best advice i could possibly give you about becoming confident even

275

when i wake up and my skin is breaking out i still feel confident

276

because I know I'm the kind of person who takes action.

277

I know that I'm gonna do something about it and my skin is gonna look better tomorrow.

278

If I wake up with a pimple, I do my skincare routine like normal, I do a face mask, I put on a pimple patch, I adjust my diet for the day, I make sure I drink enough water, and by the next morning it's gone.

279

If I was the kind of person who didn't take any action

280

and just sat there obsessing over the fact that oh my god I have a pimple, I feel so ugly, I feel so insecure, of course I wouldn't be confident.

281

When I see a problem I immediately start taking action towards the solution.

282

Because I know I'm actively taking action and good things take a little bit of time, I'm able to be confident even during the becoming process.

283

Even during the process of that action, if that makes sense.

284

I really hope that made sense.

285

Confidence comes from doing, becoming, embodying.

286

It all comes from action one way or another

287

and I really hope this video gave you some helpful tools to start with.

288

So thank you so much for being here you are so appreciated.

289

I also just want to take a moment to say thank you

290

so much for all of the love and positive comments that I got on my first video.

291

292

I'm so grateful for every single person that watched that video

293

and left a comment and subscribed from that video if you're new here.

294

Hi, welcome, thank you.

295

This was the first time in my life I ever did something like

296

that and it just immediately felt so aligned and so meant to be and I don't know,

297

I've just never felt more like I'm on the right track with stepping into my purpose.

298

So thank you so much for being here.

299

Thank you for watching that video.

300

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
