This included video evidence of Blanc sexually harassing multiple women. On November 17, Blanc made an appearance on CNN denying these accusations, stating that his comments were "a horrible attempt at humour" taken out of context.
Just thinking of doing that scares me
You got this.
They will look at you, let them look.
Stay in your body. Ground yourself through breathing out into the heart and chest. Then let gravity fill your lungs again and breathe out again almost fully.
Let them think. Let them look. Stay grounded in your body. Feel the gravity grounding you
(Edit: don't shut yourself off from sourroundings, that'll make you anxious and isolated. Rather try to imagine a connection between you and the air around you. Breath connects. Breathe into the body and feel into the body with the breath, especially your chest, neck and head are but also try to make a connection through your whole spine from the bottom to the top and back.
You can go back and forth, play with it, play with your breath and your imagination and mind.
Also if you want a stable core and body and mind, learn to slightly raise your toes, slightly outwards and find stability from the ground instead of your hips. Get wide shoes where your toes can spread. When you raise your toes, tread with your heels and slightly tense your core all down to the crotch area. There might be muscles in the crotch area that you haven't felt in a long time. Mostly because we sit all day)
Always remember, ground yourself through breathing into your body and having a stable foundation: raised toes, slightly tense core, breathing into the upper belly but imagining the air going throughout your whole body whereever you wanna have it. If your anus is tense, breathe into it, deep out and in. If you feel tension anywhere, breathe into it by putting your awareness there and connecting it with your breath through your breath.
I swearrrr.
I'm overweight right now so I have big arms. The thought of wearing sleeveless clothes is so scary omg.
@@Uhfffyeahomg, this is the most special important comment I have ever seen before. Taking a screenshot and liking, thank you
@@Anna_Bennett thank you, I try my best to motivate people. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
I'm not a professional but well versed in psychology, psychotherapy, spirituality, spiritual alchemy, religion, biology, biomechanics and some other stuff.
@@Anna_Bennett I just added this to my comment above so I'll just post this here aswell.

I wore tracksuits and cheap tops my whole life but I just bought myself a £250 casual suit yesterday because I've always wanted to dress like that but never had enough of a reason to spend so much but I get it now. It made me realise that the clothes I have worn my whole life ARE the clothes that trigger me the most and I feel better, not just confident but proud.
This
Now I officially understand "Suit up!".
Suits you, sir!
This dude does not miss
Developers do this every single day. They are so brave.
Omg this is actually a really good one. I did it, day 1-4 are uncomfortable as crap, but… Man it really challenges you to accept & embrace your appearance no matter what anyone thinks. Ultimately, people are very attracted to you in spite of your look, & it leaves you with the, “okay I maybe I do love myself!”
for me its about sensory sensitivity thanks to my neurodiversity, i could wear suit and stuff if it wouldnt feel physically so uncomfy and make me overwhelmed and not focused
but yes when it comes to presenting oneself via clothes and owning certain things to make you you, then its different case, things shouldnt determine who one is as a person
definitely don’t do anything that’s physically overwhelming, but going outside of your aesthetic comfort zone and testing the boundaries of your identity are good ways to expand ur horizons.
i agree💜
I felt this. When he was explaining the premise I was like "hmm, what clothes do I avoid...? Oh yeah, that ones that fit horrible and make me feel like I'm in an itchy straight jacket"😂 For me, my sensory issues aren't even usually about the fabric or the texture, but the fit. So many off the rack clothes are just badly designed or sewn and it just feels /wrong/ on my body when the seams don't fall wear they should😂 it's like when you can feel the seam of your sock, but now imagine that's your whole body😂 That's why I have my comfort clothes, and I'll by them in like 5 different colors just to have options😂❤
I like this challenge, but as an artist, fashion to me is one of my ways to express myself, it makes me comfortable when the world is too bright and loud. So it’s not just a self steel thing, but a sensorial one. But yeah I really depend on clothes to feel beautiful and good about myself, so I’ll try.
Every once in a while, I try one my entire wardrobe. Anything that isn't comfortable, scratchy, looks bad to me, or even dislike a tad, gets donated. Why be attached to anything at all. Ide donate it all and start over tomorrow if you asked me.
Amen!!! I was given this advice back in like highschool and I have done it every since. I think the way they said it was like "if you hate how it looks/feels/fits, why hold onto it when you could free up that space for a shirt that actually does fit/look good??" and duh, that just makes perfect sense.
That's also a great time to try on outfits you would never dream of pairing together, I've found some if my chest outfits by just trying on random tops and bottoms and you'd be surprised by how quickly you'll strike gold, even if it seems ugly/unflattering on the hangers!
I have always felt uncomfortable in sweatpants outside of the house, I never felt dressed enough. I have been going to the gym since February and started out going dressed and changing at the gym even though it was first thing in the morning. My wife told me I was wasting time and I should go straight in my gym clothes. I have been doing that for the past couple of weeks and even ran some errands after the gym, noticing that it hasn't changed anything from the outside world but it has changed a lot on the inside. That and the gym is starting to make me realise that nobody is out there to judge me they are also living their day to day lives. I have a long way to go but small adjustments are making big changes.
My anxiety just skyrocketed picturing doing that! Just because I notice how much people treat me differently when I go out looking put together vs no makeup and bad outfit! But I see that’s the point, you should be confident no matter how other people treat you… woof
I needed to hear this, I've been freaking out over what to wear for an event that is insanely far from my comfort zone and your advice hyped me up!!
Interesting. I might need to do this 🤔
I remember an exercise similar in a meditation book, I think it was called 30 Days to Stop Apologizing by Harper Daniels. I think it was wear clothes backwards and change your name.
Oo, sounds interesting! I might have to give that a read!
Bros doing the challenge as we speak
I’ve done this!!! It works! Also went out with zero makeup
Thats the biggest one for women. Makeup 😮
I just did this not too long ago, and not necessarily on purpose.
For my sister's graduation, I chose a red dress (very much out of my comfort zone, I prefer green, but I didn't want to match my sister who chose to wear green that day), I haven't worn dresses in YEARS and suddenly I was dressed up in front of people who have NEVER seen me in a dress before (let alone a kind of fancy one). I came out in the dress and matching lipstick and I felt SO insecure.
People commented that I looked nice but I hated that everyone's eyes were on me in that brief moment.
I just wanted to crawl out of my skin and hide.
I can see he’s trying it out himself 😂😂
I did this 2years ago,i was SO USED to wearing designer clothes every day/full face of makeup. I decided one day to say STUFF IT,wore my dressing gown/no make up to the gas station. And no one gave 2 shits,like i thought they would. It was so liberating,and shifted my perspective/routine dramatically
For me dressing really feminine is what makes me uncomfortable. Knowing I look good and knowing people are attracted to me makes me so uncomfortable. I still wear nice outfits, flattering colours, funky jewellery... But if I look too conventionally attractive, too feminine... I just want to perish from the face of the Earth.
I think that is the one reason that you wear weird clothes is " I don't care what people think of me , they can't judge me by clothes and if they do it doesn't triggers me because I'm not afraid, So why are you afraid to show yourself to the crowd"
that is the message I get when you wear weird clothes
A lot of his advice is literally “worried? Just stop :D”
I hate long sleeves for myself, but I am still confident in them, it’s just super hot where I live
We're in an age where we have access to mirrors and hence we start caring how we look. Imagine how people were living when they simply couldnt know how they looked
Yes, I have that freedom and it is great! Don't worry you can do it!
And a nice bonus is you will find clothes that you thought looked bad on you actually look great on you!
I bought a bright kurta eith orange in it and while my mother said it was ugly, I saw its character.
You will realize that it doesn't matter if other prople like it. They are not wearing it. You are. Do you like it?
You're videos have been such a breath of fresh air, i wish i wouldve found you back when i was struggling to heal my anxieties on my own.
Your videos remind me of how far I've come, and it makes me proud to remember that some of the same issues you talk about used to hold me back or keep me in my comfort zone are now just distant memories, and i hope anyone struggling with these issues knows that it can get better. Literally all you have to do is try, and it will get easier, even if its littlw by little, its worth it no matter what.
i have such an intense issue with clothing and self presentation…. both looking good and looking bad scares me…
The laugh in the back right after juliens first sentence 😂
Amazing brother!
I tried this. It worked. I normally just wear leggings and a hoodie or sweater but I wore skirts and shorts with tighter shirts, this honestly helped my confidence a little and I think if I keep doing it (which I plan on doing) I can get somewhere with this confidence building plan I have. I wish everyone who tries this luck, DON’T GIVE UP IT WILL BE WORTH IT❤❤❤
It's the opposite for me i get conscious when i wear something very fancy i should try that next time
The problem is I literally don't care about what I wear from my current closet, I sometimes wear the same outfit for for weeks when i go out with the same people. I guess I'll need to go out and find a "bad" outfit to buy so this could work on me.
I recently got a good quality black pants, it was pricy but it fits me perfectly, breathable, weather resistant, zipper air vents, deep pockets and looks and feels good even with just a normal white shirt. I dont buy clothes much and most my clothes are used for work so it was well due to upgrade.
I always wear my big earrings, a necklace and a lot of rings, it just kinda makes me feel safe. But I think I need to let go of that, so I'll try this challenge for the next few days :) Let's see how it goes
Well I've been doing that for years:/. Definitely not by choice😆. I can't wait to be able to actually go to a store and purchase instead of just donations... But that I'm grateful to have❤
Unfortunately the stuff that triggers me the most are skin tight colorful clothes that would get me cat called and oogled by perverts twice as much. Creeps harass you regardless of what you're wearing, the difference is how much and the intensity of it, and clothes definitely influence that.
i want to do this challenge but have a legit question.
i have social anxiety so bad its practically a phobia to be around people and i have agoraphobia and i could use a few tips.
how do you deal with people who normally comment or laugh at you, making you even more uncomfortable while you do the challenge? what should i do?
i know i should ignore them but it peaks my anxiety. i would love some kind of tip to help me get over them. especially when i go for this challenge.
Yesterday I was with my English project group, recording a trailer in a mall. I was the Joker, so I was just walking around in public for hours wearing badly put on Joker makeup. (The rest of us looked relatively normal.) Surprisingly no one really said anything or did anything. It was certainly an experience.
I have curly hair, I started to straighten it. It is because I have a vision of my best self with straight hair. But at certain times, I don't feel great with my curly hair but I still tell myself that I look great. I guess I don't know how to deal with my curly hair and how to style it right
I used to do this all the time because i had no confidence and i felt like it was better to not try than to try and fail
You broke my anxiety watching this vid
Says the guy who already as a lot of validation wired in his subconscious already… it becomes normal, and makes you feel like it’s you.
Tell me why you dress the way you do without telling us why you dress the way you do.
Im jacked so everything looks good on me. What do i do?
Except I dont wear what makes me look good, I wear what makes my skin not wanna crawl cause its a sensory issue
Well jeans aren't unflattering they are uncomfortable
Actually this is kind of a silly good idea. I’m trans and have a lot of dysphoria but I feel like this would help
Yeah and I meet the potential love of my life. But had I been presentable, she may would have talked to me hahaha
Damn, what if the texture is triggering? I have autism so what if I happen to have a melt down because of such clothes? Does it have to be uncomfortable clothes in general or just clothes that visually aren't appealing to me? Those I wouldn't wanna wear at all but only because of visual and aesthetic reasons?
I wear nice things, but not suits. I could never wear anything else. Just imagining it makes me scared.
I work in office with boss . Hard to do
I can't do trackies in public or leggings or pajamas.
Some people have to wear the clothes they hate every day. For their own safety.
I wrote that with several interpretations in mind.
We removed the requirement for capability, and so must compete and assign value elsewhere. Unfortunately, that goes to pleasure
It be a dress or exposing.. kills me
If you don't know what clothes to use for this test just copy his dress code
Feel comfortable in your SKIN not your LINEN (clothes lol) 💯
damn, I've been doing this challenge with unflattering clothing for my whole life but then he mentioned suits if you don't normally wear them. Yeah, that's where I have been lacking. Wear a suit to McDonald's!
Idk, Most times, the way you dress holds expectations. Dressing the way you are will make you fit confortable in a social space.
I wore a funny shirt once and everybody expected comedy gold outta me, never again lol
For me its wearing things that are too tight and show off my belly..
We're not talking about clothes.
Am I the only one here who doesn't really care what I wear or how I look, I'm rlly u triggered (most of the time) not when I gotta wear sum of my triggering clothes but yk most of the time yes
Aight. Skinny jeans it is
As a trans man, this is loaded with discomfort for me, but maybe I'll try it some day?
Lmao. All I own is unflattering clothes. I hate clothing shopping so much I have been wearing donations or whatever ill fitting hand-me-downs from friends. I dont even know what I would want to wear at this point.... I know how to dress flattering but it always made me feel triggered as its disingenuine. I look in the mirror and dont recognize myself no matter what I wear but its worse in clothes which make me gorgeoud
I admired you a lot until I saw your 500 dollar "get social course" lol
Yea then whole fkin city will be laughing at me for 10 years and girls not even talk to me for next 5 atleast lol
Funny fact - nobody gives a shit about you and your lil life. And these are some good news actually. You think too much of yourself (big ego) if you think that people care so much about you. Because even if somebody will judge, they have enough of things in their life going on to forget it next minute. So go ahead and try this challenge, definitely will be beneficial for you, since you'll challenge your perception of the world.
Permit to disagree. Some people dress crazy and are not the best to be around sometimes
then their task would be to dress "normal" and see if they're still comfortable
@@grunntalll oh, so it's not about how you're dressing then 👀
@@lounyx2902 perhaps its about how you're not dressing
I hate summer
