It actually is, studies have shown that if one is exposed to mass amounts of highly attractive people shown in the media, it will have a negative impact on how they perceive their partner’s attractiveness or general people on the street. You may still look the same, but beauty is not tangible, if one is exposed to more highly attractive people, the bar of attractiveness will raise, so u may have been perceived as a 7, but now you’re perceived as a 5.
some notes i did because i wanna remember more - do what you love - beauty is a energy of love - see beauty in others - stay away from energy vampires - be intentional with things and people in you life - be grateful for what you have - positive affirmations - be smart with you communication and vocabulary - be intentional with what you consume - go autside and be with mother nature thank you sm Karissa I absolutely loved this topic! ❤
beauty is also in your rituals, your courageousness, your style, and your willingness to allow yourself to be human. It’s so much beauty I feel in simply just allowing yourself to just be.
how do you know what type of witch you are !! bc i am so connected to the ocean + anything w mermaids n water, i love gardening and tending plants, and i also love learning about herbs
As someone who struggles with an ED & severe depression and recently started recovering and is trying to heal. it is so nice to hear someone who has struggled with similar problems and has come out on the other end. Thank you for this video❤️✨
Something I learnt recently is that you don't need to look like a super model to have pretty privalege or to be beautiful, you don't need to have model features, or be a certain weight or anything. All you need to do to be beautiful is dress for your body type and take care of your health. Learning this has helped me so much and has made me feel so much more beautiful. I also learnt that beauty standards change depending on the timeline and cultures that exist within our planet. Any feature that you're insecure about will be or has been a trend at some point in time or at some place of the world. I genuinely believe everybody is beautiful including myself.
Hey, I wish you lots of love and blessings. Just know you are on the right path my love, keep going, don't give up and remember, if you're at rock bottom, you can ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS go up ❤️❤️
“Just because you feel you lack something doesn't mean you gain nothing”. For some reason that opened my eyes. Not because I usually feel jealousy per se, but because I treat myself so badly sometimes. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I really needed to hear every part of this video. In todays day and age, people become so consumed in the physicality of beauty and forget that beauty is fully within oneself. I feel that’s one of the major reasons people find it hard to love themselves
she’s literally right. she clarified my entire journey with beauty and self-image. the passion/care you find in what you love is beautiful. loving yourself and realizing your inherent worth is vital. something that made me understand that i wasn’t valuing myself was the realization that i constantly denied myself little things bc i felt i wasn’t worth it without a certain requirement being fulfilled. ie, i couldn’t put on perfume or makeup if i wasn’t going out, even if i wanted to do it. i couldn’t wear my favorite clothes if i wasn’t going somewhere worth it, even if i wanted to wear them. whenever i did that, it was a declaration of: “i alone am not worth the money/time spent on the things that i love or that make me feel good”. that is what i was saying. but i’ve finally come to realize that no, i am worth indulging in the little things that make me happy with no external sources to validate that. i am reason enough. beauty WILL come to you when you view yourself with value and then proceed to respect your value.
hi karissa- i am in my teens and i struggle a lot with self-image. i have a history of disordered eating, and i have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. this video made me cry. you are a very big inspiration for me-you're kind, loving, smart, and beautiful (everything that i would like to be). when you're stuck in a depressive hole, especially when combined with an ED, it is incredibly difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. i am not traditionally attractive to euro-centric beauty standards-i am short, i have a big nose, and while i am relatively thin, i am not considered skinny by many. i rarely, if ever, receive compliments, and i often feel that i am unloved. this video really opened my eyes to why i feel so ugly all the time, and i am going to try to implement many of the concepts and tips that you mentioned in this video. recovery and healing is difficult, but i will try my best, and that is all that matters. thank you so much , angel xoxo
You seem very well spoken and wise. Embrace these beautiful character traits. A lot of the insecurities i had in my teens completly vanished, now that im in my early twenties.I used to dislike my big nose and hooded eyes. Now these are one of my favorit face traits. Much love to you ❤️
It’s actually the first time ever I feel so calm and connected to my inner self! I’ve started watching Karissa’s channel recently and just feel so safe here! Always rewatch and background play your videos, so thankful for you and your creativity, girl! Bright blessings ❤
I’m not even finished with the video and I already love it and agree so much. “Stay away from those people. They are ugly and their ugly will rub off on you.” Also, as someone who is still in the process of healing emotionally, thank you for the reminders that my reactions can be ugly. This is a good context and puts those behavior patterns into a perspective I’ve never seen them in.
beauty is an abstraction from you're identity. Once you don't see it as you're identity and value you are free. You're energy, life perspective, how you feel, you're experience, is you're life force, is you're beauty to you.
"no one on this earth is perfect, so why are you chasing something that does not exist" this is something I really needed to hear. thank you Karissa :]
On one hand you said- function from love, meet people with love. On the other hand you called people who act on their insecurities energy vampires. Both can’t go hand in hand. When you truly function from love, you are able to see why people do what they do. For this instance- if somebody is acting on their insecurities, that is happening bcz they don’t know any better. Functioning from love here would be to see their pain and sufferings and see how they cannot see their own limitations and feel compassion for them. You won’t feel the need to distance yourself from people who you’re labelling as energy vampires when you truly stand strong in who you are and you know no matter who you’re with or what negative circumstances you’re surrounded with, nothing will ever break you or shake you. A person truly functioning from love would never give another human being any kind of negative label. Your mere presence should be a complete embodiment of warmth and comfort.
Actually had to distance myself from a good friend, because she was become more hateful as time passes. Always making remarks about other women in public, becoming rude with staff at stores, and allowing toxic people to just run their life. It took awhile, but eventually realize I was feeling drained each time we hung out, especially if the toxic people were with us. Made me realize I was turning into someone else and decided it was time to step back.
you are an incredible role model for young girls like me, i hope you know that. i have dealt with social anxiety, insecurity, and jealousy for as long as i can remember and these are some of the first pieces of advice that truly, truly, helped and it truly feels like you're coming from a place of knowing how it is and WANTING to help others to grow
its so refreshing to hear someone else talking about beauty this way, and recognizing how much of a construct modern beauty standards are. LOVE! and thank you :)
I searched up "How to feel beautiful" (and your video popped up and I saw how ethereal you looked) which reminded me of when I was younger and insecure I had searched this up. I once felt VERY beautiful, didn't compare myself to others, and highly maintained myself. My insecurity recently started when an ex (two years ago) called me fat when I was significantly skinnier (no details about what size). I derailed after being put on medications for my health and one of the side effects was weight gain. I gained over 50 pounds since then (I also entered a new relationship and he cooks well haha.) I wanna feel beautiful again and I forgot it all starts on the inside
I think these words have been said to me by now I've lost count of how many times and the truth is that I've always ignored them until I started listening to myself a little more without putting the problem aside. Living in an environment where I am often underestimated or judged, made me feel the need to loving myself, I had to love my soul or no one before me would have done it. This video affirmed the words that have been present in my life and I want to thank you. I genuinely want to thank you for being a point of reference and above all a sort of older sister. You are a wonderful person and I am deeply proud of you. I have been following you for a long time and I have perceived a strong connection between all of us. I love this channel but I especially love you and what you broadcast, it gives me a feeling of peace and harmony. I hope that one day you will make all your dreams come true, people never stop dreaming and living. Take care of yourself, I love you angel.❤
from my POV after watching this video: this beauty comes from the heart deep down, not from flesh. Be intentional with what you're doing, mother nature has our side! Thank you Karissa for sharing this to everyone. May the universe bless you, you're an angel!
WOWWWW. I am speechless. This video has changed my whole perspective towards beauty. Loved your thoughts and I completely agree with everything and every word that you said. I am a big fan you and your Channel.
your advice in this have lingered in my head ever since i watched this and it has worked wonders! ive never listened to something so life changing. thank you so much Karissa ur vids work absolute wonders... cannot stress that enough. keep it up
Girl ur so right I mean I can’t explain how much wisdom is in your words. Being a present and open person truest turn on. I am so happy you decided to share yourself in every way with us your work is very much appreciated by us all. I love your style in every way and just remember that the thing ur doing is working. Stay blessed and I hope to see you more in future videos love xx
I loved this video. The more you worry and hate yourself the uglier you are. The more you adore and accept yourself the prettier you are. It’s basic concepts. It’s not complicated. And do stuff to make you feel good and enhance your beauty.
something i would like to add is learning about transmuting energy! learning to transmute energy changed my life. taking my insecure, unloving thoughts where i felt like i wasn’t beautiful and learning to start transmuting those negatives energies into positive energy made me a better person. you can transmute anyones negative energy into positive too besides an energy vampire so it’s best to use your own tools for protection when you identify those energy vamps around you. you’re a star karissa, thank you for having such a strong voice and using your platform to share your thoughts and encourage these gifts of beauty in others 💌
I feel the same, postpartum can be so rough. Be gentle with yourself, beautiful mamma. You brought a new life into this world and that’s amazing. You deserve to receive the love that you show to others. ❤
I’m three months postpartum and although I have gratitude for what my body did to bring new life into this world, not to mention that I feel lucky for being able to return to the figure I had prior to pregnancy, it can absolutely be difficult to navigate through the feelings we have about these new versions of ourselves! I have new stretch marks and loose skin in places where I didn’t before and I don’t always recognize those parts of me.. but we are only human and it’s ok to let these feelings come and pass! as long as we keep moving forward and continue to grow. I hope you can see the beauty in your new life giving body because it IS miraculous and feminine and wonderful 🤍
My biggest flex has to be that ive never been jealous of other women, i simply take in their beauty and appreciate them, i feel blessed that i have eyes to see them😭😭
Thank you for this video Karissa♥️ everything you said hit me good & i am ready to HEAL and really become my most beautiful self inside & out. Thank you for your time and kindness. We love you!!!
You are A BLESSING. Because of you (and some youtubers) I decided to change my life COMPLETELY!!!! I changed everything my appearance , my mindset , my surroundings , I left the job that I hated and started travelling around the world with my italian boyfriend. I was inspired by you to have my RUclips channel about my GLOW UP so that one video got 500k views (Honestly I'M STILL SHOCKED) Thank you for sharing such valuable info! You really changed my mindset!!!! I watch every video of you and every time get an inspiration!
I don't know but I'm moved to tears Your energy i can literally feel through my screen and its so soothing and calm and just so reassuring. No exaggerations. ❤ You radiate this purity.. Like a goddess
I was watching this while getting ready and looking at myself in the mirror and I felt this wave of self love run through my body and I started crying and gave myself a huge hug ❤
This is such a good way to look at the world, it’s so true that beauty is nothing specific like having a button nose or a skinny waist but the way a person acts and the things they care about, love your videos x
Hey Karissa! ❤I struggle with borderline personality disorder and it is difficult to regulate my emotion and feelings, I have a very hard time feeling good about myself, and i struggle with feeling jealous of others a lot. I just wanted to thank you for this video, I’ve been actively trying to feel better about myself, and your videos help me do that! I have always felt different from everyone else, and I’m realizing that can be a good thing! I am on the path to loving myself and you have helped me a lot . I appreciate your good vibes and good energy and hope to make friends like you in the future❤
hello. boys asked me out as a joke when i was 15 in my math class. this dimmed my confidence excruciatingly. like when pen15 said the experience was, 'to love me is the biggest insult'. i felt and believed i was ugly because i was ugly to them. to try and be beautiful to them, I adopted their mindset and their energy and made myself ugly. ugly people will say, do and think ugly things. that is what I realize now.
thank you so soo much for this angel. ive been through a lot and now im going to try to heal and grow like a little flower. i want to bloom, but things can only bloom if you take care of them and show them love. i didnt realize that before this. i think somewhere i thought id still be better if i hurt myself. im sending you lotsa love :D thank u for your gentleness and beauty. mwah
your energy really is incredible, i started this video in such a bad headspace and was ready to completely disregard everything you said. i kept listening and at first i had a negative reply for what you were saying. as i kept listening i began to feel better and im so glad i kept listening. i was feeling poorly because i am very anxious because tomorrow i know i will have to have many pictures taken of me. this video made me feel better about that, your smile is so bright and its so wonderful how you can make other people smile like that. ill be trying to find things about myself like that, continue doing what you do:))
this is first video i am watching from Karissa and OMG I luv it!!! fr her aura is amazing and as someone who loves LANA the most this is beautiful surprise to find someone intelligent and supportive like LDR ... luv
My inner child LOVED reading and Learn abort dogs and train dogs NOW I studying to be a dogtrainer 😍 and I feel more beutifull just because a have a dream and I do what I love 🥰 im 32 years old and not is the time to do what I love 🥰 and ILove your chanel! ❤️❤️
I have to make another comment cuz u have really resonated with me at this moment in time. I;ve been having anxiety for like about a yr now since I went into university. It just seemed like I wanted to get everything done all at once and I haven't been beautiful at all. I was always stressing about grades, internships, scholarships, graduate programs and all of that just put me in a cognitive cage where I can't get out. And everyone around me was telling me to stay in that stress mode and tolerate it. Now I am fully aware that I can't live like this anymore. I was born to give out love, not to trap myself in a neverending toxic loop of anxiety. I know it takes practice and patience but I'll be once again beautiful.
things i would like to remember- 💭no one on this Earth is perfect so why are you chasing something that does not exist 04:02 do what I love every single day intentionally not just in my work but in my hobbies 💭 ask yourself what you spent time doing as a child? * when I'm not doing what I love I'm I'm so insecure!! * whenever you prioritize you, you radiate Beauty you radiate love like Aphrodite * don't insult ur inner child or urself (that's not funny...this makes u UGLY!) 08:37 see beauty in others * don't judge ppl * 08:50 tell ppl directly wat u love about them! * other people will not see the beauty in you unless you can see it in yourself * see the beauty in other people and not having bitterness and jealousy in your heart about that and you can truly just meet people with love again 10:31 ** you have got to let go of the bitterness in your heart towards beautiful people ** 11:38 - 12:40 !!! 12:51 stay away from energy vampires * having insecurities is normal * you can recognize that and not act on it (not b mean to others, spread rumors) * 14:08 be intentional w e/t u do (choose frnds wisely) 14:40 b grateful * thank god, for my beautiful smile! 16:50 enrich urself * intentional with the way that u speak * expand your vocabulary * just listening to more music or like of high value like music of high value watching more high value films reading more high value books things that are going to challenge your brain a little bit * at least once a day I like to go walk outside 💭other people can be beautiful doesn't make you less beautiful💭THISSS
you really are the love witch. beautiful video, beautiful words. when i was a young teen my mum forced me to say positive affirmations aloud to myself in the mirror (i was already very insecure and it felt like a very uncomfortable thing to do at first), but the more i did it the more i really truly believed it. and the more i believed it about myself the less i felt jealous about other people and was able to appreciate different kinds of beauty. i can’t thank my mum enough for pushing me to do this, so don’t diss positive affirmations!!
I'm quite a bit older than you, so I approached this video with skepticism. I was thinking "What wisdom could this young woman know at her age?" I was wrong... I found myself crying halfway through the video. Beauty is love. Letting go of the bitterness in my heart... these are beautiful concepts I'm going to try to work into my life. Because I'm tired of always feeling so "ugly".
i used to worry that people would not understand me or pick up the wrong energy from me because i'm a shy person. i chose to ignore that thought, just be myself and remain positive and uplifting. once i let go of that fear, i started hearing people have positive opinions of me without ever meeting me, as well as the people who know me. reminder that you don't have to be super extroverted to exude positive energy
i love you and your content so much !! story time(?) - i listen to subliminals and affirmation audios, and for a really good chunk of my life... i was really, really insecure. i wanted to change the way i look, thinking that if i looked a certain way or even acted a certain way, people would find me beautiful. which is absurd, now that i think about it. a lot of people have complimented my beauty, my attitude, my personality... i just somehow didn't see it. i've only recently started adjusting my mindset, and i came to a realization that i didn't want to look like anyone else. i didn't really want to change anything about me. i was very much grateful for who i am and what i look like. this video just proves that i'm on the right path, so i wanted to thank you, karissa 💕
U have taught me so much. I tend to stress myself and make myself insecure a lot. Sometimes I can’t help it and your words help me a lot. I’ll try reminding myself to be kind and grateful
I love this video so much and helped me to view life and how I act in a different way ♡ I always had a feeling and urge to do things with love but because of how people had taken advantage of that it made me scared to act on that urge of love but I feel that now I just have to stay away from people like that and hope they can be better in life. This encouraged me and validated my feelings to act more loving towards others I am so thankful !! ♡
i hope this isn’t offensive I don’t mean to make comparisons but your personality & your aesthetic is so calming to me because it’s like if Lana were more accessible lol. Like if she were able to be more open about her personal life & if she was more relatable in the sense that you’re still in your 20s and just trying to get by.
17:35 honestly yes, also English it's not my first language so sometimes it's difficult to me to understand native speakers, but it's so easy to understand you
I don't know if my English is good, because I'm using the translator, but I wanted to thank you for this video. It seems he appeared to me at just the right time. I have been going through a period of depression for some time now, but despite this I am struggling to recover my self-esteem and my will to live and this advice made me feel very good about myself, it made me feel that I can find strength and beauty within myself. Thank you very much for this and I wish you to be very happy in your life. Kisses from Brazil 💋 🇧🇷
thank you, Karissa. this video is what i needed. you helped me to recognize some things about me, about my insecurities. i definitely will work on myself and become a person like you: who radiates the energy of love, who sees the beauty in other people, who prioritize themselves, who loves themselves. you inspirating me to develop. thank you so much!!
You are so magical and gorgeous and inspiring! You just seem so full of beautiful, artistic, vibrations! You seem like such a cool person to be friends with, like you live life like its an art piece. Welcome to the LA woman tribe!! Love ya angel babe!
I’m not bitter towards pretty people. I just want to be pretty. Everyone says I’m ugly. Im insecure and I can compliment. I’m not mean, I was just born ugly. I don’t want to be ugly sibling. I don’t have any friends. There’s nothing beautiful about me, I’m not grateful for what I look like. I’ve tried positive affirmations and they didn’t work. What are high value films. I’ve been told that I’m smart but that doesn’t help me be more attractive. I love being outside. I just don’t want to be ugly
Im on my lunch break rn and watching this because I really needed a minute and I’ve seen only 1 video before and your beauty is from within and shines so bright even on the outside. Thank you for being so powerful and knowing the strength in your words. You represent so many thing but beautiful is definitely one of them. I never knew i needed this from another women and i love you so much you are so blessed 💐✝️
@@girlnxtdoor333 I really liked it. I was reading reviews and some people hated it because nothing really happens and that is true, not a lot happens...it's not a plot-rich story, it's more about the main character's experience with a quack of a psychiatrist who gives her a bunch of meds so she can become completely numb and sleep all the time. My feeling is that the people who hated this book and hated her and thought she was a bad person, truly don't understand what it's like to suffer from depression. Edit: If you end up reading it, do let me know your thoughts!
this was a lovely video to watch. you’re very articulate and intentional with the way that you relay your message. what you said about recognizing beauty in others to see it in myself, i felt in my soul. thank you youtube algorithm for recommending me this video❤️
Hey Karissa. I love these advice videos. Could you do one about jealousy (regarding others' succes)/ feeling like you're 'late' and one about feeling insecure on social media? I want to branch out on social media but I'm so critical of myself and have terrible social anxiety so whenever i post i get incredibly anxious. This is very important to me and i really admire your online presence. great video 🩷🩷🩷
This is one of the best videos on this topic I have seen. Especially the part where you say see beauty in others. I wish someone had told me that when I was young girl. I thought this video was just going to be about make up and hair and I’m so happy to see such a nuanced discussion on the topic
you remind me a little of Sandra Bullock in the film practical magic, you are completely beautiful and it is clear that your energy exudes love. I loved this video.
Before i got a horse and got into competing as an equestrian, i used to collect and play with these model horses. I had like 200 and had so much fun playing with them. Some days i feel like going out and buying one just to feel that joy again.
One of my favorite quote to keep in mind is "Another woman's beauty is not the absence of your own"
Quoted by Anna Paul !!
Wow that's beautiful
It actually is, studies have shown that if one is exposed to mass amounts of highly attractive people shown in the media, it will have a negative impact on how they perceive their partner’s attractiveness or general people on the street. You may still look the same, but beauty is not tangible, if one is exposed to more highly attractive people, the bar of attractiveness will raise, so u may have been perceived as a 7, but now you’re perceived as a 5.
"I know their beauty is not my lack"
Spiritual LIP INJECTIONS, Spiritual NOSEJOBS, Spiritual MAKEUP, Spiritual WIGS, Spiritual BOOBJOBS....What else, sista!?!? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
some notes i did because i wanna remember more
- do what you love
- beauty is a energy of love
- see beauty in others
- stay away from energy vampires
- be intentional with things and people in you life
- be grateful for what you have
- positive affirmations
- be smart with you communication and vocabulary
- be intentional with what you consume
- go autside and be with mother nature
thank you sm Karissa I absolutely loved this topic! ❤
Thanks 💗❤💕
Btw you look gorg in your pfp!!
11:11 “you have to recognize that just because you feel like you lack something doesn’t mean you gain nothing” WORD FOR WORD!!
My grandmother is and always has been a true beauty. Even in her 70s strangers stop her to tell her because of her heart
beauty is also in your rituals, your courageousness, your style, and your willingness to allow yourself to be human. It’s so much beauty I feel in simply just allowing yourself to just be.
as a witch who works sm with beauty and venusian energy i am so excited for this😩
A witch???
@mystic dove🕊️🥀 what do you mean when you say you are a witch??
@@cutedba775 I believe they mean they perform witchcraft and things such as spells and believe in spiritual things 🤗
@@xooayesha oh okay thank you!
how do you know what type of witch you are !! bc i am so connected to the ocean + anything w mermaids n water, i love gardening and tending plants, and i also love learning about herbs
As someone who struggles with an ED & severe depression and recently started recovering and is trying to heal. it is so nice to hear someone who has struggled with similar problems and has come out on the other end.
Thank you for this video❤️✨
You got this! Sending you strength for the recovery ❤️
Hiya❤ I been in recovery for 10 months now for ED. Sending u lots of love. I hope u can find peace and not look back.
I have recovered from my Ed from a year ago today and gained 40 pounds since then. I believe in you 👼🪽💖
Something I learnt recently is that you don't need to look like a super model to have pretty privalege or to be beautiful, you don't need to have model features, or be a certain weight or anything. All you need to do to be beautiful is dress for your body type and take care of your health. Learning this has helped me so much and has made me feel so much more beautiful. I also learnt that beauty standards change depending on the timeline and cultures that exist within our planet. Any feature that you're insecure about will be or has been a trend at some point in time or at some place of the world. I genuinely believe everybody is beautiful including myself.
Hey, I wish you lots of love and blessings. Just know you are on the right path my love, keep going, don't give up and remember, if you're at rock bottom, you can ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS go up ❤️❤️
“Just because you feel you lack something doesn't mean you gain nothing”. For some reason that opened my eyes. Not because I usually feel jealousy per se, but because I treat myself so badly sometimes. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I really needed to hear every part of this video. In todays day and age, people become so consumed in the physicality of beauty and forget that beauty is fully within oneself. I feel that’s one of the major reasons people find it hard to love themselves
she’s literally right. she clarified my entire journey with beauty and self-image. the passion/care you find in what you love is beautiful. loving yourself and realizing your inherent worth is vital.
something that made me understand that i wasn’t valuing myself was the realization that i constantly denied myself little things bc i felt i wasn’t worth it without a certain requirement being fulfilled. ie, i couldn’t put on perfume or makeup if i wasn’t going out, even if i wanted to do it. i couldn’t wear my favorite clothes if i wasn’t going somewhere worth it, even if i wanted to wear them. whenever i did that, it was a declaration of: “i alone am not worth the money/time spent on the things that i love or that make me feel good”. that is what i was saying. but i’ve finally come to realize that no, i am worth indulging in the little things that make me happy with no external sources to validate that. i am reason enough. beauty WILL come to you when you view yourself with value and then proceed to respect your value.
hi karissa-
i am in my teens and i struggle a lot with self-image. i have a history of disordered eating, and i have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. this video made me cry. you are a very big inspiration for me-you're kind, loving, smart, and beautiful (everything that i would like to be). when you're stuck in a depressive hole, especially when combined with an ED, it is incredibly difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. i am not traditionally attractive to euro-centric beauty standards-i am short, i have a big nose, and while i am relatively thin, i am not considered skinny by many. i rarely, if ever, receive compliments, and i often feel that i am unloved. this video really opened my eyes to why i feel so ugly all the time, and i am going to try to implement many of the concepts and tips that you mentioned in this video. recovery and healing is difficult, but i will try my best, and that is all that matters. thank you so much , angel xoxo
i hope ur doing well
You seem very well spoken and wise. Embrace these beautiful character traits. A lot of the insecurities i had in my teens completly vanished, now that im in my early twenties.I used to dislike my big nose and hooded eyes. Now these are one of my favorit face traits. Much love to you ❤️
It’s actually the first time ever I feel so calm and connected to my inner self! I’ve started watching Karissa’s channel recently and just feel so safe here! Always rewatch and background play your videos, so thankful for you and your creativity, girl! Bright blessings ❤
so true, i feel much more content with myself and definitely calmer since i started watching karissa.
I’m not even finished with the video and I already love it and agree so much. “Stay away from those people. They are ugly and their ugly will rub off on you.” Also, as someone who is still in the process of healing emotionally, thank you for the reminders that my reactions can be ugly. This is a good context and puts those behavior patterns into a perspective I’ve never seen them in.
beauty is an abstraction from you're identity. Once you don't see it as you're identity and value you are free. You're energy, life perspective, how you feel, you're experience, is you're life force, is you're beauty to you.
"no one on this earth is perfect, so why are you chasing something that does not exist" this is something I really needed to hear. thank you Karissa :]
this woman is so wise and underrated. i love her so much.
On one hand you said- function from love, meet people with love. On the other hand you called people who act on their insecurities energy vampires. Both can’t go hand in hand. When you truly function from love, you are able to see why people do what they do. For this instance- if somebody is acting on their insecurities, that is happening bcz they don’t know any better. Functioning from love here would be to see their pain and sufferings and see how they cannot see their own limitations and feel compassion for them.
You won’t feel the need to distance yourself from people who you’re labelling as energy vampires when you truly stand strong in who you are and you know no matter who you’re with or what negative circumstances you’re surrounded with, nothing will ever break you or shake you. A person truly functioning from love would never give another human being any kind of negative label. Your mere presence should be a complete embodiment of warmth and comfort.
Actually had to distance myself from a good friend, because she was become more hateful as time passes. Always making remarks about other women in public, becoming rude with staff at stores, and allowing toxic people to just run their life. It took awhile, but eventually realize I was feeling drained each time we hung out, especially if the toxic people were with us. Made me realize I was turning into someone else and decided it was time to step back.
I love what she has to say. Being intentional matters! All great advice! I feel this so deeply!
"im gonna light a pre-roll" *subscribes*
you are an incredible role model for young girls like me, i hope you know that. i have dealt with social anxiety, insecurity, and jealousy for as long as i can remember and these are some of the first pieces of advice that truly, truly, helped and it truly feels like you're coming from a place of knowing how it is and WANTING to help others to grow
its so refreshing to hear someone else talking about beauty this way, and recognizing how much of a construct modern beauty standards are. LOVE! and thank you :)
I searched up "How to feel beautiful" (and your video popped up and I saw how ethereal you looked) which reminded me of when I was younger and insecure I had searched this up. I once felt VERY beautiful, didn't compare myself to others, and highly maintained myself. My insecurity recently started when an ex (two years ago) called me fat when I was significantly skinnier (no details about what size). I derailed after being put on medications for my health and one of the side effects was weight gain. I gained over 50 pounds since then (I also entered a new relationship and he cooks well haha.) I wanna feel beautiful again and I forgot it all starts on the inside
Spiritual LIP INJECTIONS, Spiritual NOSEJOBS, Spiritual MAKEUP, Spiritual WIGS, Spiritual BOOBJOBS....What else, sista!?!? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you can appreciate another's beauty, then that means you're beautiful.
I think these words have been said to me by now I've lost count of how many times and the truth is that I've always ignored them until I started listening to myself a little more without putting the problem aside. Living in an environment where I am often underestimated or judged, made me feel the need to loving myself, I had to love my soul or no one before me would have done it. This video affirmed the words that have been present in my life and I want to thank you. I genuinely want to thank you for being a point of reference and above all a sort of older sister. You are a wonderful person and I am deeply proud of you. I have been following you for a long time and I have perceived a strong connection between all of us. I love this channel but I especially love you and what you broadcast, it gives me a feeling of peace and harmony. I hope that one day you will make all your dreams come true, people never stop dreaming and living. Take care of yourself, I love you angel.❤
from my POV after watching this video: this beauty comes from the heart deep down, not from flesh. Be intentional with what you're doing, mother nature has our side! Thank you Karissa for sharing this to everyone. May the universe bless you, you're an angel!
WOWWWW. I am speechless. This video has changed my whole perspective towards beauty. Loved your thoughts and I completely agree with everything and every word that you said. I am a big fan you and your Channel.
your advice in this have lingered in my head ever since i watched this and it has worked wonders! ive never listened to something so life changing. thank you so much Karissa ur vids work absolute wonders... cannot stress that enough. keep it up
Girl ur so right I mean I can’t explain how much wisdom is in your words. Being a present and open person truest turn on. I am so happy you decided to share yourself in every way with us your work is very much appreciated by us all. I love your style in every way and just remember that the thing ur doing is working. Stay blessed and I hope to see you more in future videos love xx
I loved this video. The more you worry and hate yourself the uglier you are. The more you adore and accept yourself the prettier you are. It’s basic concepts. It’s not complicated. And do stuff to make you feel good and enhance your beauty.
something i would like to add is learning about transmuting energy! learning to transmute energy changed my life. taking my insecure, unloving thoughts where i felt like i wasn’t beautiful and learning to start transmuting those negatives energies into positive energy made me a better person. you can transmute anyones negative energy into positive too besides an energy vampire so it’s best to use your own tools for protection when you identify those energy vamps around you.
you’re a star karissa, thank you for having such a strong voice and using your platform to share your thoughts and encourage these gifts of beauty in others 💌
Ever since having a baby I do feel ugly but I have, and always will, complimented people on their beauty and other things besides beauty too.
But you're beautiful though!
I feel the same, postpartum can be so rough. Be gentle with yourself, beautiful mamma. You brought a new life into this world and that’s amazing. You deserve to receive the love that you show to others. ❤
I’m three months postpartum and although I have gratitude for what my body did to bring new life into this world, not to mention that I feel lucky for being able to return to the figure I had prior to pregnancy, it can absolutely be difficult to navigate through the feelings we have about these new versions of ourselves! I have new stretch marks and loose skin in places where I didn’t before and I don’t always recognize those parts of me.. but we are only human and it’s ok to let these feelings come and pass! as long as we keep moving forward and continue to grow. I hope you can see the beauty in your new life giving body because it IS miraculous and feminine and wonderful 🤍
Bro you look so ethereal how can u even call yourself uglyyyy...
This video just makes sense. I've never seen someone else talk about this- this is exactly my thoughts.
you are so pretty girl omg
@@Sheila.16 OMG tysm you too!! Made my day 💞❤️
My biggest flex has to be that ive never been jealous of other women, i simply take in their beauty and appreciate them, i feel blessed that i have eyes to see them😭😭
gurl pls bffr
Slay
Thank you for this video Karissa♥️ everything you said hit me good & i am ready to HEAL and really become my most beautiful self inside & out. Thank you for your time and kindness. We love you!!!
I can proudly say that I never got jealous of pretty girls like i feel so happy when im around them like they make me feel good bout being a women 💗
You are A BLESSING. Because of you (and some youtubers) I decided to change my life COMPLETELY!!!! I changed everything my appearance , my mindset , my surroundings , I left the job that I hated and started travelling around the world with my italian boyfriend. I was inspired by you to have my RUclips channel about my GLOW UP so that one video got 500k views (Honestly I'M STILL SHOCKED)
Thank you for sharing such valuable info! You really changed my mindset!!!! I watch every video of you and every time get an inspiration!
Awww I don't even know you but I am very proud and happy for you 🤍🤍🤍🤍
@@hihi._..68 so nice of you !!!❤️😍
I don't know but I'm moved to tears
Your energy i can literally feel through my screen and its so soothing and calm and just so reassuring. No exaggerations. ❤
You radiate this purity..
Like a goddess
I was watching this while getting ready and looking at myself in the mirror and I felt this wave of self love run through my body and I started crying and gave myself a huge hug ❤
This is such a good way to look at the world, it’s so true that beauty is nothing specific like having a button nose or a skinny waist but the way a person acts and the things they care about, love your videos x
Hey Karissa! ❤I struggle with borderline personality disorder and it is difficult to regulate my emotion and feelings, I have a very hard time feeling good about myself, and i struggle with feeling jealous of others a lot. I just wanted to thank you for this video, I’ve been actively trying to feel better about myself, and your videos help me do that! I have always felt different from everyone else, and I’m realizing that can be a good thing! I am on the path to loving myself and you have helped me a lot . I appreciate your good vibes and good energy and hope to make friends like you in the future❤
I hope you have a good day, know that JESUS died for you and loves you so very much!
Same sadly I have bpd :( hope your feeling better
@@GIGI-pd1ur JESUS can heal you.
hello. boys asked me out as a joke when i was 15 in my math class. this dimmed my confidence excruciatingly. like when pen15 said the experience was, 'to love me is the biggest insult'. i felt and believed i was ugly because i was ugly to them. to try and be beautiful to them, I adopted their mindset and their energy and made myself ugly. ugly people will say, do and think ugly things. that is what I realize now.
thank you so soo much for this angel. ive been through a lot and now im going to try to heal and grow like a little flower. i want to bloom, but things can only bloom if you take care of them and show them love. i didnt realize that before this. i think somewhere i thought id still be better if i hurt myself. im sending you lotsa love :D thank u for your gentleness and beauty. mwah
I really like the last part; it is true. Believe it, someone else’s beauty does not take away from your own beauty. Remember that.
No because I needed to hear this "dont be mean to yourself" message.
your energy really is incredible, i started this video in such a bad headspace and was ready to completely disregard everything you said. i kept listening and at first i had a negative reply for what you were saying. as i kept listening i began to feel better and im so glad i kept listening. i was feeling poorly because i am very anxious because tomorrow i know i will have to have many pictures taken of me. this video made me feel better about that, your smile is so bright and its so wonderful how you can make other people smile like that. ill be trying to find things about myself like that, continue doing what you do:))
Omg wait also congrats on seeing Lana
It’ll be one of the best days of your life! I saw her during the endless summer tour in 2015 & I’m so grateful
I hate how everyone always says no one is perfect when in reality everyone is perfect
this is first video i am watching from Karissa and OMG I luv it!!! fr her aura is amazing and as someone who loves LANA the most this is beautiful surprise to find someone intelligent and supportive like LDR ... luv
every time im feeling insecure and bad about myself i come back to this video, thank you karissa❤
thank you so much, I'm literally crying cause I've been feeling so lost lately and you've changed my perspective in many ways
Listened to this twice, first to soak in, second to fully digest and note-take. You are AMAZING inside out, we see your beauty because we see our own
My inner child LOVED reading and Learn abort dogs and train dogs NOW I studying to be a dogtrainer 😍 and I feel more beutifull just because a have a dream and I do what I love 🥰 im 32 years old and not is the time to do what I love 🥰 and ILove your chanel! ❤️❤️
I have to make another comment cuz u have really resonated with me at this moment in time. I;ve been having anxiety for like about a yr now since I went into university. It just seemed like I wanted to get everything done all at once and I haven't been beautiful at all. I was always stressing about grades, internships, scholarships, graduate programs and all of that just put me in a cognitive cage where I can't get out. And everyone around me was telling me to stay in that stress mode and tolerate it. Now I am fully aware that I can't live like this anymore. I was born to give out love, not to trap myself in a neverending toxic loop of anxiety. I know it takes practice and patience but I'll be once again beautiful.
things i would like to remember-
💭no one on this Earth is perfect so why are you chasing something that does not exist
04:02 do what I love every single day intentionally not just in my work but in my hobbies
💭 ask yourself what you spent time doing as a child?
* when I'm not doing what I love I'm I'm so insecure!!
* whenever you prioritize you, you radiate Beauty you radiate love like Aphrodite
* don't insult ur inner child or urself (that's not funny...this makes u UGLY!)
08:37 see beauty in others
* don't judge ppl
* 08:50 tell ppl directly wat u love about them!
* other people will not see the beauty in you unless you can see it in yourself
* see the beauty in other people and not having bitterness and jealousy in your heart about that and you can truly just meet people with love again
10:31 ** you have got to let go of the bitterness in your heart towards beautiful people **
11:38 - 12:40 !!!
12:51 stay away from energy vampires
* having insecurities is normal
* you can recognize that and not act on it (not b mean to others, spread rumors)
* 14:08 be intentional w e/t u do (choose frnds wisely)
14:40 b grateful
* thank god, for my beautiful smile!
16:50 enrich urself
* intentional with the way that u speak
* expand your vocabulary
* just listening to more music or like of high value like music of high value watching more high value films reading more high value books things that are going to challenge your brain a little bit
* at least once a day I like to go walk outside
💭other people can be beautiful doesn't make you less beautiful💭THISSS
One of my most favorite videos you’ve done! Your wisdom is so powerful & uplifting. Would absolutely love more life advice videos from you
you really are the love witch. beautiful video, beautiful words. when i was a young teen my mum forced me to say positive affirmations aloud to myself in the mirror (i was already very insecure and it felt like a very uncomfortable thing to do at first), but the more i did it the more i really truly believed it. and the more i believed it about myself the less i felt jealous about other people and was able to appreciate different kinds of beauty. i can’t thank my mum enough for pushing me to do this, so don’t diss positive affirmations!!
I'm quite a bit older than you, so I approached this video with skepticism. I was thinking "What wisdom could this young woman know at her age?" I was wrong... I found myself crying halfway through the video. Beauty is love. Letting go of the bitterness in my heart... these are beautiful concepts I'm going to try to work into my life. Because I'm tired of always feeling so "ugly".
I’m 31 years old and you have just taught me a lot
i used to worry that people would not understand me or pick up the wrong energy from me because i'm a shy person. i chose to ignore that thought, just be myself and remain positive and uplifting. once i let go of that fear, i started hearing people have positive opinions of me without ever meeting me, as well as the people who know me. reminder that you don't have to be super extroverted to exude positive energy
i love you and your content so much !!
story time(?) - i listen to subliminals and affirmation audios, and for a really good chunk of my life... i was really, really insecure.
i wanted to change the way i look, thinking that if i looked a certain way or even acted a certain way, people would find me beautiful.
which is absurd, now that i think about it. a lot of people have complimented my beauty, my attitude, my personality... i just somehow didn't see it.
i've only recently started adjusting my mindset, and i came to a realization that i didn't want to look like anyone else. i didn't really want to change anything about me. i was very much grateful for who i am and what i look like.
this video just proves that i'm on the right path, so i wanted to thank you, karissa 💕
This felt like an awakening truly 🤍✨️
U have taught me so much. I tend to stress myself and make myself insecure a lot. Sometimes I can’t help it and your words help me a lot. I’ll try reminding myself to be kind and grateful
I love this video so much and helped me to view life and how I act in a different way ♡ I always had a feeling and urge to do things with love but because of how people had taken advantage of that it made me scared to act on that urge of love but I feel that now I just have to stay away from people like that and hope they can be better in life. This encouraged me and validated my feelings to act more loving towards others I am so thankful !! ♡
i hope this isn’t offensive I don’t mean to make comparisons but your personality & your aesthetic is so calming to me because it’s like if Lana were more accessible lol. Like if she were able to be more open about her personal life & if she was more relatable in the sense that you’re still in your 20s and just trying to get by.
I love the way you speak! You speak so well and have such good flow
watched this video few months ago. I can say it changed my prespective and my life changed a lot! for the better ❤❤❤
17:35 honestly yes, also English it's not my first language so sometimes it's difficult to me to understand native speakers, but it's so easy to understand you
so happy to have found your channel, your advice is amazing. You are such an angel
you just completely changed my perspective.
I don't know if my English is good, because I'm using the translator, but I wanted to thank you for this video. It seems he appeared to me at just the right time. I have been going through a period of depression for some time now, but despite this I am struggling to recover my self-esteem and my will to live and this advice made me feel very good about myself, it made me feel that I can find strength and beauty within myself. Thank you very much for this and I wish you to be very happy in your life. Kisses from Brazil 💋 🇧🇷
thank you, Karissa. this video is what i needed. you helped me to recognize some things about me, about my insecurities. i definitely will work on myself and become a person like you: who radiates the energy of love, who sees the beauty in other people, who prioritize themselves, who loves themselves. you inspirating me to develop. thank you so much!!
You are seriously my comfort person Ilysm and thank you for doing what you do 🙁💗
Girl mad respect for just lighting up 😮💨
You are so magical and gorgeous and inspiring! You just seem so full of beautiful, artistic, vibrations! You seem like such a cool person to be friends with, like you live life like its an art piece. Welcome to the LA woman tribe!! Love ya angel babe!
you are such an angel. have a wonderful day.
I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU TO SEE LANA!! have so much fun!!
that's such an unusual way to tell young girls how to be beautiful thank you sm for making content that actually benefit women and mean something
i love how accurate this is
your videos are so comforting
I’m not bitter towards pretty people. I just want to be pretty. Everyone says I’m ugly. Im insecure and I can compliment. I’m not mean, I was just born ugly. I don’t want to be ugly sibling. I don’t have any friends. There’s nothing beautiful about me, I’m not grateful for what I look like. I’ve tried positive affirmations and they didn’t work. What are high value films. I’ve been told that I’m smart but that doesn’t help me be more attractive. I love being outside. I just don’t want to be ugly
your everything is glowing but your eyes sparkle like the celestial cosmos ✨✨
Im on my lunch break rn and watching this because I really needed a minute and I’ve seen only 1 video before and your beauty is from within and shines so bright even on the outside. Thank you for being so powerful and knowing the strength in your words. You represent so many thing but beautiful is definitely one of them. I never knew i needed this from another women and i love you so much you are so blessed 💐✝️
I’d love to see a book recommendation video ❤️
Girl, same. I'm almost done with Otessa Moshfegh's, My Year of Rest and Relaxation.
@@TheYazmanianhow was it? i’ve been planning on reading it so i’m just curious
@@girlnxtdoor333 I really liked it. I was reading reviews and some people hated it because nothing really happens and that is true, not a lot happens...it's not a plot-rich story, it's more about the main character's experience with a quack of a psychiatrist who gives her a bunch of meds so she can become completely numb and sleep all the time. My feeling is that the people who hated this book and hated her and thought she was a bad person, truly don't understand what it's like to suffer from depression. Edit: If you end up reading it, do let me know your thoughts!
@@TheYazmanian that sounds super interesting so i definitely think i’ll read it!! and i’ll be sure to let you know what i think thank you
this was a lovely video to watch. you’re very articulate and intentional with the way that you relay your message. what you said about recognizing beauty in others to see it in myself, i felt in my soul. thank you youtube algorithm for recommending me this video❤️
Hey Karissa. I love these advice videos. Could you do one about jealousy (regarding others' succes)/ feeling like you're 'late' and one about feeling insecure on social media? I want to branch out on social media but I'm so critical of myself and have terrible social anxiety so whenever i post i get incredibly anxious. This is very important to me and i really admire your online presence. great video 🩷🩷🩷
i could listen to you speak for HOUUURS u really are beautiful
Beautifully spoken 💕
I think about this video everyday. Thank you for blessing me with this
u dont know how much i love this kind of videos🕊️
radiating love with intention and consideration really is true beauty! y'all are gorgeous beings for being in this community with karissa
this video has seriously helped me so much
as soon as I saw you I wanted to give you sth as a gift. Your energy is so receiving. Like a truly woman energy, WOW
you're so so real for posting this, I adore this video and I can relate a lot to what you're saying, beauty is an energy.
"the only thing that is fair in life is the way you treat yourself"
This is one of the best videos on this topic I have seen. Especially the part where you say see beauty in others. I wish someone had told me that when I was young girl. I thought this video was just going to be about make up and hair and I’m so happy to see such a nuanced discussion on the topic
you remind me a little of Sandra Bullock in the film practical magic, you are completely beautiful and it is clear that your energy exudes love. I loved this video.
Before i got a horse and got into competing as an equestrian, i used to collect and play with these model horses. I had like 200 and had so much fun playing with them. Some days i feel like going out and buying one just to feel that joy again.
I always come back to this video
You are so real my mum always told me this exact stuff about being jealous makes you ugly and to be happy others r beautiful etc
