    In this episode, you are getting a brand new definition of #confidence.
    This definition is based on research studies on how confidence is built.
    Confidence is not what you think it is.
    It is not a personality trait you’re born with, and it’s not reserved only for extroverts.
    Confidence is a skill that anyone can master.
    And today is the perfect day for you to start.
    Confidence is your birthright. You can’t lose it; you just lost your connection to it.
    Let’s get that back.

    In this episode, you'll learn:
    00:00 Intro
    01:17 The question Heather asked about confidence that so many of you have.
    07:02 This is a “doing podcast," so here’s your first assignment.
    09:19 Your new definition of confidence that embodies the research.
    13:52 Here is one of the simplest and yet profound reasons for my success.
    20:30 Feeling like an imposter? Great! Here’s why.
    22:34 Alex’s question led us to talk about Myth #1 about confidence.
    25:15 Myth #2 about confidence needs to be laid to rest.
    26:20 Telling yourself that you lost your confidence? Then listen to Myth #3.
    29:11 Use tool #1 to interrupt your self-doubt and do what you’re afraid of..
    31:17 Confidence does not come before action; THIS does.
    33:11 Rule #2 is fun; research says it’s the fastest way to create new habits.
    35:45 Rule #3 is absolutely essential if you want to build confidence.
    38:33 Rule #4 is what I tell myself every time I’m about to do something scary.
    41:05 I don’t want to come to the end of my life feeling this.
    45:06 Do you like this person you’re spending your life with?
    49:37 This is the hard truth about life that you need to hear.

      I am listening to this podcast and feel anxiety at the thought of building my confidence. I want out of a 30 year marriage with a narcissistic spouse. How does a retired person that is trauma bonded get past the anxiety induced panic and stay focused in the process of building confidence?

      Confidence is build
      In order to build confidence you have to try
      Courage light ups confidence
      You have the willingness to try new ideas and new things
      When you feel you don’t have confidence you are only stucked in the feelings
      Here are 6 tools
      Tool 1 > must take action
      Tip : count 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and go!
      Stop thinking and start new things = even if you are not perfect at it
      - Even if you do not feel comfortable you are willing to try
      - You can tap into courage before feeling the confidence
      It is an act of courage first and then confidence comes
      - There’s 2 types of people
      People who think what to do/ And the ones who take a step and push into it
      Tool 2 > When you tremble think of I had more confidence what would I do?
      Get yourself out there!
      Power of alter ego
      - Reframe your Mindset
      What the new version of me will do?
      What is the worth try it?
      Everything you do in life is preparing you to a new version of you
      True confidence is forged in fire 🔥 and all of the pain is necessary to build a new version of you
      Tool 3 > Be willing to fail and learn
      I choose not to stay in a place of self doubt > life is always preparing you for something
      Pain and lessons are forged to teach you a new version of you
      You have to be willing to fail > and try new things
      Tool 4 > Follow your curiosity
      I am going to follow my curiosity and to grow and learn to take risk and I’m willing to do that
      Tool 5 > In a middle of every failure has equipped me with the lessons and the scales
      Tool 6 > Social media detox :
      Curate the accounts according to how you want to feel in life
      Curate your dreams and try to stay curious
      Let social media be your aligned to your dreams
      Focus on you and get serious in what you feel into your life
      Only follow people who make you feel good
      Your attention is the key 🔑
      Does what you post create confidence and you can be yourself?

    I was always great at everything I did until I got into a bad relationship in my mid 20s and once I survived the domestic violence it was like I was stuck in that same head space for almost ten years. I stopped going places and got so depressed I didn't recognize myself. Became a drug addict and then I overdosed while staying at home with my 3 small kids. While this is embarrassing to tell anyone. I'm tellin y'all this because I'm in a place now were I'm no longer depressed. It all starter by changing my thinking. When I noticed a negative thought I would do the Steve Harvey thing and thank god for something and have an intentional thankful heart. Of course there is more to this story but now I'm watching Mel Robbins and you have no idea how much your trying has changed my life. So thank u to the Mel Robbins who was scared to get on video and do a podcast but tried anyway. She's the real hero

    Anytime I’ve compared myself to others, I’ve felt less than. Until I realized that the only person I should compare myself to, is the person I was yesterday. No matter what you compare, you will always find someone richer, better looking than you, has a nicer car, has a better (fill in the blanks). And it's totally pointless. When I began focusing on the idea of going to bed better than I woke up, basically making sure that throughout day I do things that make a better version than the one who woke up that morning, then life really began to change for me. Focus on you and your own progress. Run your own marathon!

    Building unshakable self-confidence takes time and effort, but it's absolutely worth it. Here are a few tips: 1) Focus on your strengths and accomplishments, 2) Practice positive self-talk, 3) Surround yourself with supportive people, 4) Step out of your comfort zone and face your fears, and 5) Take care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Remember, self-confidence comes from within and it's a journey, not a destination. Keep working on it and you'll get there!

I needed to hear this more than you will ever know! Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing your voice with all of us. Much Love and Gratitude, Renee❤🙏

    I am in my 60’s and still taking risks. Scared to death sometimes! I wrote a book and a second book to be a companion, when it came to publishing I panicked and thought “oh no! We don’t have to actually put it out there do we?” Stepping out of my comfort zone a lot and at times I freeze and still want to hide, and yet, this is what I teach to others as well!

    Dear @melrobbins I can't express my feelings of love and gratitude for many of the advice that you share with us. I'm in love with your empathy and how you want to sincerely help others based on both your own life experiences and scientific research. I might not be able to apply all your methods but I'm sure that every time I get stuck in a difficult situation or feel like I'm not confident I'll remember your podcasts!!!
    I've been clinically diagnosed with OCD which has ruined most of life now, so I can definitely relate to most of what you preach.
    I wish we could meet personally one day...

Some months ago, I couldn't speak a word, and now, I can have conversations about a range of things and aspire to new jobs and live in another country! And I listen to every video from Mel to practice my comprehension, vocabulary, and listening skills, and of course, to learn about how to live a better life! Thanks, Hadar and Mel! I hope to see you both in an interview on Mel's podcast!

    I have always been the most unconfident person. I think mainly because I grew up thinking you were either born confident or you weren't but listening to this podcast has given me encouragement that I can and will be confident from now on because I am willing to try! Thank you for such a great video Mel!!!

Cause I am going through a journey where I really feel so hard to keep the consistency. It is been 3/4 years. I really wanna be with you 24 hours. Pray for me. I lost so quickly and affected by things.

    Mel, regarding video time at 33:45 where you begin to talk about development of an alter ego: Up until a bit of vocal cord damage a number of years back before the pandemic, I was learning to sing solo in front of a group. I sang at church and tried to get into a quartet but they wouldn't allow me to do this to learn. So, I started singing lessons and Karaoke. I met a man at Karaoke who was the Director of talent for a local theater group. Seeing my fear he suggested I create that alter ego. I created a character named Charlene who was fearless. It really helped and eventually I transitioned to using my real name. After years of singing in front of groups solo it also helped me to build speaking skills as I learned how to view the crowd. But, due to one incident I learned that turning it over to God can be massively freeing. My father died at 4 am on a Sunday. I had been up all night on watch at his bedside. His mind was gone and we waited for the body to also pass. Thing was, that night I was to give a 5 minute talk about what brought me to Business and Professional Women (BPW) along with receiving an award. Sad part was I was too tired to read the notes I'd written on flash cards for my talk. I simply could not read it or remember what I was to speak about. So, in front of the group I told them about my night. I then said I was turning it over to God to guide my mind and what I should speak about. The group seemed very attentive. Later a gal from BPW came up to me and said she had no idea that I was such a great speaker. That was a great moment. But, sometimes we just need to turn it over to a higher power. So, thumbs up - great advice - all of it!

    Mel answered the question that has been bothering me for a long time. I thought I lost my confidence and don't have it anymore. Now I realized the reason for feeling low self-confidence is because I stopped trying and did not do things that previously enhanced my confidence.

    Mel, I am so happy that I found out about you today, through Vanessa Judelman's recommendation to watch your Toolkit for Confidence! It has made me think about how I self-sabotage rather than take action. Your message was impactful and spoke to me. I definitely am going to willingly push myself to try repeatedly develop my skill of confidence, as I am worth it.
