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,
2
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.
3
How are you going to be confident living a life like that?
4
It's like you've opted out of participating in your own life.
5
But this is your life.
6
Act like it.
7
Become someone worth being confident in.
8
And if you don't know where to start, have no fear.
9
In today's video, I'm going to share my confidence tips with you.
10
These are just some things that have made me less pathetic, desperate, and insecure over the years.
11
And I am confident that if you apply these things to your life, you'll start to feel confident too.
12
Genuine confidence is like a muscle that's built over time.
13

20
Confidence is knowledge.
21
I've heard it put this way.
22
When you first start a new job, it takes time for you to become confident with it.
23
For example, I became a bartender the day after my 21st birthday.
24
I didn't know if Grey Goose was rum or vodka at that point.
25
I might have even thought it was whiskey.
26
I really was so lost.
27
I had no idea what I was doing, but now I'm 25.
28
I've been bartending for the last four years and I could do it in my sleep.
29
It's the exact same with becoming confident in yourself.
30
You have to get to know yourself very well.
31
Work on becoming self -aware.
32
A Harvard study showed that 95 % of people think they're self -aware, but only 10 to 15 % actually are.
33
So even if you think you're self -aware, think again.
34
Being self -aware means that you clearly understand your own thoughts, feelings actions and how your mood
35
and your stress impacts the people around you it's becoming aware of your trauma
36
and what triggers you you really have to be more introspective
37
and there are so many different practices
38
that can help you with this keep a journal reflect on your everyday life go to therapy the thing
39
that helps me become more self -aware and i do this every
40
so often is to do a self -audit look at your life as
41
if you were a stranger on the outside looking in literally
42
just audit each category of your life your relationship your job your friendships your daily habits.
43
If you were a stranger, what kind of person would you perceive yourself as?
44
What blind spots do you notice?
45
Are you happy with what you see?
46
Is this a person you'd want to be?
47
Focus on that.
48
It's step one.
49
You've got to know what your morals, values, and goals are.
50
You have to know what your confidence stands for.
51
What do you represent?
52
What is your confidence protecting?
53
Who are you?
54
The second thing that'll help you with your confidence is to practice self -love.
55
Let go of being a people pleaser.
56
Change yourself talk.
57
Make sure it's not negative.
58
Say positive affirmations if you need to.
59
If I accidentally say something negative about myself, I'll correct myself out loud in front of anyone who heard me say it.
60
Set healthy boundaries.
61
Start saying no. Say no to things that drain you or make you feel inadequate.
62
When I stopped drinking, I had to start saying no every time I got invited out.
63
I hate bars.
64
I hate clubs.
65
It's never been my scene and i genuinely don't have fun
66
when i go so especially
67
when i stopped drinking i was like i can't do this
68
shit sober have you ever been in the club sober girl
69
and like i also don't like drinking it doesn't make me feel good i don't have fun
70
when i'm drunk so what's the point in being in
71
that environment sober or not either way i'm gonna have a bad time
72
and i'm not about to keep putting myself in
73
that situation just to make other people happy when i don't enjoy it at all i'm gaining nothing from that experience.
74
And it was hard at first, but people respect all of my notes without prying because I never fold.
75
And yeah, I get called lame, especially when I won't go out after work with my coworkers or my regulars.
76
I mean, what kind of bartender doesn't drink?
77
But I don't give a singular fuck.
78
I don't.
79
And I don't mean to sound so arrogant, but I've got more important shit to do.
80
I would rather get called lame by people that don't understand me than go out just to please them.
81
My time is valuable.
82
My energy is valuable.
83
And I need to protect both so I can put them towards my dreams and my goals.
84
You need to have that kind of certainty in your values and decisions in order to be confident in them.
85
That's why self -awareness is so important.
86
That's why it's step one.
87
You first need to be self -aware so you know what your values
88
and your goals are and what your decisions need to be.
89
That way you know what your confidence is standing for and protecting.
90
This also falls under the practice self -love umbrella.
91
But make sure you're taking care of your body, eat enough, eat healthy food, drink enough water, go to the gym.
92
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.
93
Stop comparing yourself to other people.
94
It is so much easier said than done.
95
Delete social media if you have to.
96
Unfollow people that make you feel bad about yourself.
97
I'm gonna put myself on blast for a second.
98
When I was in high school, I used to feel so threatened by pretty girls who could sing and write music.
99
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

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
