You don't have to be zero to 100 confidence every single time of the day, 24 seven.

You don't have to feel like you're constantly having to present yourself a certain way, even when you're at home, but it is something that you are able to amp up and amp down, if that makes sense.

And this ties into something called the Marilyn Monroe effect.

And it's actually crazy.

And it all has to do with self-perception, self-concept and confidence.

This is quite literally the fact that Marilyn Monroe, if you don't know her, you know her, of course you do.

If Marilyn Monroe, she was, think of her, like old Hollywood glam, one of the most famous people ever, arguably.

And of course, like when she is in front of the cameras, the paparazzi, she's like...

you can't miss her she has her platinum blonde hair she is stunningly gorgeous probably dressed up to the nines and of course everyone recognizes her she's Marilyn Monroe the paparazzi is flashing people are asking for autographs she is our famous Hollywood glam queen right but there was something that she was able to do that is actually insane she was able to turn off her Marilyn Monroe persona and go out into public

and just be normal and it's not even necessarily like just like what she was wearing or the makeup that she had on it's the energy that she was exuding because if i'm marilyn monroe i'm waking up out of the house and i'm like hello world i'm marilyn monroe but if i'm in a moment where i don't want to be bothered by the paparazzi i'm feeling like i just want to be more kept to myself

she could turn that on as well.

And she was able to alter her confidence levels and her self-perception in order to almost be less noticeable, which is so crazy.

And so I just wanted to include that in this episode because it is proof that energy is so transferable.

It is so magnetic.

People pick up on your energy and it is how they view people.

I fully believe that we would be able to all

recognize each other like if we are all blind like we'd still pick up on a person's energy and i think that is just such a testimony to that the fact that marilyn monroe of all people huge celebrity could become unrecognizable just by kind of shifting her self-perception and so my encouragement to you

is that this should be living proof that you can amp your confidence on when you need to.

And even if it feels like something you don't have quite yet, it is achievable and it is doable and you kind of just have to fake it till you make it.

And I know we've all heard the phrase, fake it till you make it.
