Video Blogging For Confidence?

Some people are fearful of pointing that video camera at themselves because they don’t feel confident enough. I understand, I used to feel the same way before I started vlogging myself.

But – something funny happened after I started making videos. My confidence grew and grew. Just making the videos helped my confidence and then getting great compliments was an extra bonus.

I was just reading through some blogs yesterday and came upon a post at Simple Vlogging Tips that I thought perfectly described how vlogging can help your confidence and can be an actual self-improvement tool.

Here’s a portion of what Jendi, the author, wrote:

Here are 8 ways that video blogging has helped me:

1. I’m more conscious of my looks. It’s not as bad as when I was a teenager and didn’t go anywhere without a comb/brush; but it’s so-o much better than when my kids were babies and I couldn’t even find my brush. After all, I never know when I will want to capture the moment on video. If it’s a good moment of course I’ll want to share it.

2. This leads me right into the clothes category. While I’m not, never have been, and probably never will be a fashionista I’m more careful with my clothes. I think about colors that compliment me and look well on camera. I stopped wearing the t-shirts that I got in high school. Some days I plan my clothes so I don’t have to change to make a video and some days it’s just a possibility.

3. Video blogging gives me a reason to exercise and watch what I eat. I did so much better with a diet when I was pregnant and had a big incentive [also known as L&D] to watch what I ate. Knowing that I’m putting a video out there for the world to see gives me motivation. I’m in no way saying that you have to be a certain size to vlog; I’m saying that it’s something I think about.
