I recently got to take business photos for Joy Made Collective at the Kylee Ann Studios blush door studio. What a cute jewelry company! The jewelry is HANDMADE! I jumped on the website and was reading about the business and was even more impressed.
I loved this statement on their website and felt that it was very inspiring!
“We believe that every woman, no matter how young or
wise, should feel beautiful and confident every day. For us
personally, a well put together out fit makes us feel those
two things. The perfect pair of earrings can turn the most
mundane out fit into something beautiful. That same outfit
can give you the confidence you need when you walk into
a crowded room, when you have a big interview, or help
you believe in yourself when you take that big exam.
Joy Made Collective was created with powerful women in
mind. Women in the education field, medical field, stay at
home moms, and college students. Women who wake up
before the sun rises and go to bed way after it sets. For
the women who have it all together and for the women
who are literally just hanging on by a thread. Whomever
you are, we hope you know that you are fearless,
strong, and loved. You are seen.”
That little paragraph makes me want to be a better woman!
I got to the studio on Friday afternoon. I was excited for this shoot because several of my friends were modeling for me! It was fun to take pictures of them as a Kylee Ann Commercial photographer and help them feel beautiful in photos. Seeing a photo that you like of yourself really can boost your self confidence! It is fun to get pictures of yourself from time to time just because it’s fun and it’s nice to have a nice picture of yourself.
As woman, we often struggle with speaking to ourselves kindly. But, we don’t have to struggle with that. We can change our mind about how we feel about ourselves. We can do this by changing how we talk about ourselves.
Here is a list of simple positive affirmations we can use and say to ourselves to help develop a better relationship with ourselves
I am enough
I am beautiful
I create positivity
I can reach my goals
The things I want are important
I am capable
I have the things that I need to be successful
I deserve respect
My worth isn’t defined by what I do or do not do
I am worthy just because I exist
I help others feel loved
I am confident in who I am
I can do hard things
It is okay to have different types of emotions
I am loved just the way that I am
I’d like to invite you to focus on a positive affirmation about yourself for a day or week and see if it helps you in your relationship with yourself. Talking kindly about ourselves can help us with our self confidence.
