confidence is a skill that you can obtain and improve! these are tangible confidence tips that worked for me (shy-girl approved)

00:00-13:24

• life updates: apartment hunting in SD, travel, books I'm reading, quarterly planning

13:24-17:18

• confidence: being fully authentic self without worrying what other people think

• we are whole as we are

17:18-21:11

• from evolutionary perspective, humans are social animals that needed to work well together to survive
• social anxieties like wanting to be liked or wanting to fit in used to serve a more life/death purpose for survival, but in the modern world not so much

21:11-29:03

• tips for being confidence
• “be as you wish to see” - change is possible, confidence is a skill that can be acquired and improved upon
• embodying people you see as confident in situations where you lack confidence
• altering body language to project more confidence, people can’t read your mind
• surrounding self with confident people & setting boundaries

29:03-30:54

• stop bringing attention to insecurities, how you treat yourself is how others will treat you
• a lot of times people don’t notice insecurities until you bring it up

30:54-32:50

• the power of affirmations

32:50-37:16

• confidence is having a routine
• completing daily tasks/goals is building self trust & confidence
• routine can be anything from morning routine to a fitness routine
• any form of fitness can vastly improve confidence

37:16-38:01

• joining clubs
• can help to surround self with confident people, or people you would like to emulate

38:01-41:00

• finding style
• style in all physical forms (hair, clothes, living space, etc)
• using Pinterest as a tool for this

41:00-43:36

• assume the best
• typically we assume the worst in social situations, but most the time that’s not the case at all

43:36-45:54
