Hey beauties, welcome back to the Creative Contra by Carla Podcast.
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:13.359
Today I want to talk about why we should have confidence in ourselves and why we should believe in ourselves and why we should do things that scare us.
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.359
So let's get into the content.
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:26.640
Hey beauties, I'm Carla, makeup artist, speaker, business owner, and founder of Creative Contour by Carla.
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.519
I believe we should love wearing makeup should we choose to.
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:37.439
In this podcast, I will break down the harmful rhetoric spewed by the beauty industry.
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:42.479
Follow along to love yourself, gain confidence, and enjoy a little glam.
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:49.200
First, let's get the probably easiest one out of the way: why we should believe in ourselves.
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:58.079
Like, I hate to make this like, oh, the dummy in the room, but like if you don't believe in yourself, like you're not gonna get anything that you want, right?
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.079
Whatever it is you want, believe in yourself and believe you deserve it.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:10.480
And that is something that I personally have been uh working on for the past few years now.
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:19.840
And I genuinely believe that when we do the inner work for ourselves and we believe in ourselves, we're gonna get the things that we want.
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:27.359
Because when it's on your heart and you want it so bad and you desire it and you just feel it deep down, you know it's meant to be achieved.
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.799
So you have to be you have to believe in yourself.
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.439
So let's talk about confidence.
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:38.799
We have to have confidence in ourselves while we are believing in ourselves.
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.920
These two things go hand in hand.
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.719
You have to have the confidence while you believe in yourself that anything you want, you're going to get.
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:53.519
Especially again, when it's those things that are on your heart, you can feel them.
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:54.719
You can feel them.
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.000
Like if you're like me, you're like, I know this is meant to happen.
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:03.200
I don't know how, I don't know when, I don't know where, I don't know why, but I know that it is meant to happen.
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:08.080
You have to believe in it, and you have to have confidence in yourself.
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.599
One of my hardest life lessons is this about having confidence in yourself.
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:18.719
When I have confidence in myself, literally the things I want happen.
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.439
So, how do we have confidence in ourselves?
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:29.759
The first thing is, and this is from my own life experience, that we have to do the inner work.
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:35.599
So if you are not confident in yourself, you have to do the inner work, whatever that looks like for you.
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:41.199
For some people, it is like me speaking to a therapist and healing a shattered self-esteem.
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:52.479
For other people, it's journaling, it's shadow work, it's praying, it's talking with a friend or a loved one, whatever it is for you, that's what it is.
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.560
You do the thing you need to do to give yourself confidence.
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:07.439
Now, of course, this goes without saying, whatever that thing you have to do is also has to come from a place of love for yourself, for others, for the earth, for all living things.
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.000
It cannot be something that's harmful, of course.
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.240
Which leads me to my next point.
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.360
And another way to get confidence in yourself is doing things that scare you.
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:31.759
In my life experience, sometimes the things that scare me the most are the things that are best for me.
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:44.879
And I laugh about this, and we're all gonna have a little laugh because I'm sure there are things in your life that scare you that are also really good for you, but that's why it scares you, and it's really good for you to do them because it builds confidence.
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:53.840
So when you do something that scares you, you inherently become more confident because you faced a fear.
00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:02.240
And even if you face a fear and you don't like conquer the fear, even if you just take a step towards it and like the fear is not erased, it doesn't matter.
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.639
You still are gonna end up a little bit more confident, and it's good for you.
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:21.439
In summary of our episode, we should believe in ourselves, have confidence in ourselves, and do things that scare us because all of these three things will help us grow, be happier, and build our confidence.
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.079
Tell me in the comments below have you done something recently that scares you, that built your confidence?
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:27.040
I want to know.
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.839
So, beauties, I hope you enjoyed this episode.
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.079
I can't wait to see you all soon.
