I have to get like really comfortable, because we are going to dish the dirt today. A lot. Hello
everybody, I hope you're all having an amazing week. We have all had days- we have all been
there, when we don't feel our most pretty, or our most confident. And guys, it is totally normal.
Whether it's our skin, our body, or our overall confidence, we have all had hangups that affect
how beautiful we feel. But, lucky for us, science tells us that there are fast things that we can do
to instantly pull ourselves out of a rut and feel more confident and more happy. So guys, as a
relationship expert with a doctoral degree in psychology, today I am giving you the top 10 ways
to instantly feel and seem to other, more beautiful.
If you guys are new to Ask Kimberly, I'm currently doing a giveaway for the brand new Ariana
Grande perfume, Sweet Like Candy. All you have to do to enter is be subscribed to this channel,
Ask Kimberly, and follow me on Instagram here. And, the winner of the giveaway will be
announced on August 31st. Now, let's get right into the video.
Okay. Number one may seem kind of weird, but it's to choose an outfit based on how it makes
you feel versus how you think it makes you look. One of the most amazing things about clothes
is that they can bring out a different side of you. They can make you feel more whimsical, and
they can even change your mood based on the color. When we solely dress for other people, we
lose the fun of getting to wear really pretty, cool clothes. So, next time you're shopping, go for
the outfit that captures your imagination as opposed to the thing that's just going to make you
look the most hot. And this not only makes you feel beautiful, but it makes your energy
infectious to other people.
Number two is get outside. Research shows that the simple act of walking can instantly lift your
mood and increase your overall positivity. But, I think if you go for a walk in a really special,
beautiful place, you can start to get inspired by the beauty that surrounds you. And this can make
you feel more beautiful. Appreciating nature's beauty can instantly make you feel more calm and
less anxious. This results in a more beautiful and a more pleasant experience for you, and all the
people you interact with.
Number three is take a super fun selfie. So, the physical act of smiling can actually make you
feel more positive instantly. Try asking a friend to take a couple cute snaps of you. Or, you can
even play around on your own taking selfies and then sending them out to a couple of your best
friends.
Now, the fourth way to feel more beautiful is to start a blog or a YouTube channel. Now, a lot of
you already have channels, and I want to hear how those are going. Now, this one is so not about
seeking approval from other people. It's about understanding that you have a voice and your
opinion matters. And that can create a sense of confidence that's totally second to none. You can
explore whatever hobby you want. Whether it's fashion, politics, or you can be like a Moffit and
delve into relationships or science. So, the bonus of this one is that the skill of talking on camera,
or delivering ideas in a certain way is something that's going to benefit you for the rest of your
life. So, you kind of win all around in this one.
Number five is to listen to music. Particularly songs that make you feel more confident or good
about yourself. And, everybody has one of those songs that you just turn on and boom! It
changes everything.
Six is to sing. Now, this is totally different than just listening to music. Because now, you're
engaging to the art of singing and listening to how your voice is sounding. Singing also releases
endorphins, helps you breath deeply, and gets out stress. My best advice is to choose something
that you know you can sing amazingly. It doesn't have to be overly hard, just something that you
sound so awesome singing. And when you do, choose to sing in the shower. Because of the
acoustics, your voice will sound amazing.
Number seven is to journal and write about what's bothering you. So, whether it's your grades
that are bothering you, or it's a fight that you had with your friend, actually writing in a journal
can help you work through those issues and actually solve them.
Eight is to create a happy board. Some people call these vision boards. But, I see vision boards as
something that's more for the future. I want you to create a now board. Include all of your
favorite pictures of yourself, pictures of your friends, and pictures where everyone, including
you, is having a great time. A lot of us forget about what we actually have going for us in our
lives right now on a daily basis. Which leads us to number nine.
Practice gratitude. Gratitude is the act of intentionally appreciating all of the good things that you
have going on in your life right now. It is a natural human function to focus on the things that we
don't have, or the things that we haven't achieved yet above all of the things that we do and the
things that make us feel happy. Humans are really weird. So right now, you can just write a list
of all the things that you're grateful for. And even if that list is small, it still exists and it's still
something you can focus on each and every day.
Okay you guys, so the final way to seem and feel more beautiful right now is actually to
compliment someone. Sounds kind of counter intuitive, right? So, we the weird humans again,
have this messed up way of thinking that if somebody else is smart, or talented, or beautiful, that
we can't be that way too. We feel like they're taking it away from us. Like, there's only so much
beauty allowed in the world, so you can't have it. I have to have it all to myself. But, that's not
how life works at all. The more we recognize and appreciate the beauty in other people around
us, the more we can start to be a little bit easier on ourselves and recognize that beauty in
ourselves too. We start to realize that there can be happiness and abundance for everyone,
obviously, and that it's not just restricted to one person.
