How to Build Real Confidence with Mel Robbins

Confidence is a skill, it's not a trait

The more that you gain competency, the lower your anxiety drops, the more your nerves drop, and the more your doubt drops

Yes, thinking positive helps a lot, but with confidence and self doubt...breaking the cycle starts with action

96% of creative breakthroughs don't happen while you're working

If you have a problem that can be solved with action, you don't have a problem

You can listen to all the experts and the inspiring people that you want, but at the end of the day it's going to be up to you to do the work

Confidence is NOT a personality trait

Did you make progress on something that matters to you? If you didn't, your day feels like a waste of time.

Your dreams are not on your phone, your priorities are not on your phone, it's other people's garbage

When you identify why something matters, you elevate it as a priority in your mind

If you start your day reading other people's emails, you've already lost control

33 percent of people check email in the middle of the night

The average person unlocks their phone >150 times per day

The amount of time you give something is how much time it will take it

Confidence, in every aspect of your life, is just the decision to try

When there's something that you really believe in that matters to you, you can act out of character in order to further it

One study found the average person touches their phone 2617 times a day

When you hit the snooze button you're engaging in a behavior that impacts your productivity for up to four hours
