So it's interesting in that regard, thinking of it from an evolutionary perspective, just understanding and just getting a grip on the knowledge that there is a little animal in there that's afraid of tigers standing with you in Starbucks. And it's trying to tell you like the tiger is going to get you if you ask for a discount on your coffee or whatever.

And I think it helps to just understand that there's no tigers. There are no tigers. And just repeating that and understanding that there's a little piece of my brain. It's not my conscious human part of my brain that's doing that. It's an evolutionary holdover. It's a little residue from how we evolved.

And just the knowledge that that is in there really does help to understand, well, that thought wasn't real. And you had a quote in an interview. I don't remember where it was. I stalked you on YouTube, you know, before we did our recording here. But you had a quote. You said fear is a lie or fear is a liar. One of those two.

Yeah, that really rang true because it's not a truthful fear that's going to represent I'm in some kind of danger. And what we're doing is like what we need to feel confident in these tribes when our ancestors are growing up. is proof. If this guy respects me, this guy's always respected me, and everyone's always listened to everything I say, I have evidence and proof.

If this guy respects me, this guy's always respected me, and everyone's always listened to everything I say, I have evidence and proof.

Those are the two things that we're scanning for, and that gives me permission. And that's the key word. Once I see evidence and proof, now I have permission to act a certain way. I can be more confident. But most of us and people who lack confidence, of course me on many occasions, We're looking and waiting for evidence and proof or permission that is never going to come.

No one's going to come tap you on the shoulder and say, hey, hey, Heather, you've got permission to be confident today. That's never going to happen. And no one needs to. You can do that yourself. Or if you need it from me, you've got permission. And that's the thing, that we need some kind of permission.

And that's where the confidence ladder really starts. And there's three things internally and two things externally in my estimation that happen when confidence occurs. We have an internally assumed permission to act. So I just think there's no tigers, nobody's gonna give me permission, I'm gonna start acting a certain way.

And that produces the next phase internally for us is a lack of reservation and doubt. So it reduces reservations, it reduces the amount of doubt that we experience. And the third thing is it gives us a sense of authority. And I want you to think of the word authority a little bit different. Like the first part of that word is author. I'm creating what's happening right now. I'm not responding.
