amazing week. So, I think just about everybody in this

world struggles with confidence at times. So today guys,

as a relationship counselor with a doctoral degree in

psychology,I'm giving you ten easy brain hacks to

instantly turn your confidence around and boost it so that

you can feel awesome and do all of those things in your life.

If you guys are new to Ask Kimberly, stay a while, relax,

take your shoes off, and welcome to this amazing family.

Hit that big subscribe button down below, because I know

you want to! Let's be real. Alright guys, I'm done with

my little spiel, now we can get right into the video.

The first easy brain hack to feel more confident is to

choose somebody who you admire, who inspires you,

who is actually a positive role model. Choosing a role

model who you know if you work hard you can actually

do what they do is a lot more positive and can make you

feel a lot better about yourself. A lot of times people

choose a role model and they're like, "I just wish I had

her voice," or, "I wish I had her butt," or, "I wish I had

her amazing looks," or her figure, or her lifestyle, or her Instagram following.

Number two guys, this one's super easy and a little bit

weird too. And it's to choose an outfit that accentuates

your most positive feature. Like, what do you love most

about yourself? As opposed to hiding your worst feature,

which most people choose an outfit that just hides the

thing that they're most embarrassed about. No. Do not do

that. Forget about that completely and choose something

that just makes you go va-va-vum with your best feature

and puts a big smile on your face.

Number three, you guys, this is a weird one. I feel like all

of these are so weird, but that's brain hacks, I guess.

Number three is to make a list of your favorite celebrities'

positive qualities and then compare them to your own.

Like, list positive qualities about yourself that are actually

a part of your favorite celebrity as well. If your favorite

actress is Emma Stone and you can recognize that you've

got a really quirky sense of humor just like her, that is

proven to boost your confidence almost instantly.

Number four, guys, is to make a playlist of songs with a

really bumping bass. Music with a really heavy bass line

has been proven to instantly boost your confidence. So

that's why sometimes if you're working out and you hear

a song that really gets you in the mood and makes you

feel really awesome, that's why. Because, it's the music

that actually lifts you mood. So, make a playlist. Do it now.

Number five! Number five! Is to think about the time

when you were your most confident self. I don't care

when in your life that was, whether you were 5 years old,

10 years old, 15 years old. For me, I think I was 25 years

old when I was my most confident self. Actually, it may

be now. I'm probably my most confident self now. Let's

be honest. Think about who you were in that time. Like,

what made you confident? What were you feeling like?

What was your energy like? And just freaking sit there for

5 minutes and channel that, and then go out into the world

and I think you'll notice a big difference in how you feel.

Number six, you guys, if you have someone in your life

who criticizes you, who's negative, who's a bully.

Freaking literally, ditch them. People who criticize you

are guaranteed to get into your psyche. It's just the way it

works. You do not need to internalize anything that these

negative people have to say. So, the best thing that you

can do is push them out of your life. If you want a video

on how to ditch meanies, freaking losers, the people that

put you down in your life, tell me in the comments below.

We'll do a video on how to ditch them. Ditch those

people. They're bad, bad, bad, bad.

Number seven, certain studies have shown that you really

only need 7 minutes of activity a day if you the right

things. So I found this thing online called the 7 minute

workout that I think is super easy to do. And if you only 7

minutes a day, you can do it. I think it's totally fun to do.

So do a 7 minute workout and in 7 minutes you will feel more confident.

Number eight, you guys, is to release endorphins through

smiling. Just the act of smiling is literally proven to trick

your brain into thinking that you are more happy and

more confident than you actually are.

Number nine, you guys, we are almost at the end. Go on

your phone right now, and go in the little notepad section

and write down 5 positive affirmations that you feel

would really help you. For me, a couple that really

resonate are when I walk into a room, I totally light it up,

and am I lucky person who grabs opportunities, and I am

a unique and creative person who other people look up to.

Now finally guys, we have reached number ten. Oh my

God, we're here already. The videos go by so fast. And

number ten is to actually take a little hiatus from social

media. Now, I'm not saying to ditch your phone

altogether. But if you actually can do that, oh my God,

hats off to you. But just get off the sites that lead to

comparing yourself to other people in your social

network. And you know the sites that I mean. Instead,

spend your time online doing things that inspire you.

Like, you can come here and hang out on Ask Kimberly,

talk to people in the comments. Only give your attention

to the things online that make you feel happy, and

inspired, and worthwhile, and confident and all of those things.

So guys, if you love this video, give it a huge thumbs up.
