I'm going to breathe.
I already decided this was going to be fun, you know, so I'm going to breathe with it.
And we actually have to learn to tolerate the discomfort of that level of exhilaration.
That's very different from what you'll often now hear, like psychologists will talk about our lizard brain fear.
This is the reptilian part of the brain that's just, everything is scary, worst case scenario thinking.
That, if we only breathe with it, like if let's say you're about to give a presentation and you're sure they're going to laugh me out of the room, that we don't want to just stay and breathe because that kind of fear, which is really what kicks off fight or flight response, that's going to prevent us from doing our best thinking, research shows.
It prevents us from connecting with other people.
So there we aren't just breathing into it.
It's like, how do I shift myself out of this state?
And that's where things like whether you're using your body and you're going to go for a run or you're using an affirmation to try and change your thinking, you're actually trying to change your body out of the fear state so you can essentially perform at your highest level again.
The big mistake so many of us make is we think confidence is coming.
We think it's coming with experience.
We think it's coming with achievement.
We think it's coming because someone's going to give us the gold star.
All the research shows confidence is not coming.
You know, there's one study that looks at executive women and entry-level women, one in 10.
say that over that time difference, they've experienced some kind of change in their confidence level.
So unless you want to bet that you are going to be the lucky one in 10, I don't think that's a great bet.
Let's assume we're going to be in the 90 that's going to continue to grapple with a lot of self-doubt.
And it does come up, right, for the reason we talked about.
