Hello beautiful humans,
My name is Darius and this is a ridiculously fun way to gain confidence,
Okay?
Here it is.
Walk to the bathroom with confidence.
What is this guy saying?
Hold on,
Hold on.
Don't skip this video.
Give me a moment.
I've taught this lesson many times and It is so funny.
And so silly and so accessible and so effective.
All right,
I'm going to tell you a story.
I came up with this thing in Costa Rica.
I am a professional photographer.
In case you didn't know,
I had this incredible photo shoot in Costa Rica.
We had this team dinner afterwards and It was amazing.
It was like by all means a 10 out of 10 success.
Everyone's happy.
Photos are sensational.
We're having this incredible dinner.
And I remember walking,
Getting up.
Walking to the washroom and for some reason feeling like awkward and feeling like people are looking and I'm walking strange and I should say hi to this person.
Like I just got in my head.
Sometimes I can get in my head in social settings.
Okay.
I can get overwhelmed and I got to the washroom,
Washed my hands,
Did my business,
Washed my hands.
And as I'm washing my hands,
It just occurred to me.
Why?
Am I uncomfortable in this place?
This is a very rare moment,
An international photo shoot that went so well.
There's so many things that could have gone wrong,
But it didn't.
And so I decided in that moment I was going to walk back from the washroom.
I was going to play the role.
Of somebody that is all the way confident.
And I knew it was a.
.
.
20 second from the washroom to the table and I gave myself that 20 seconds to just walk as if I am 100% confident.
Nobody's going to know what's happening.
It's just a game I'm playing in my head and I'm walking with confidence.
I'm making eye contact.
I'm smiling.
My chest is open,
I feel amazing,
And I'm playing the role,
And I'm allowing myself,
I'm allowing my being,
I'm allowing my mind,
My heart,
My spirit,
To build memory.
As that confident self.
And I'm not taking any of it seriously because it's so ridiculous.
In this moment,
I was walking back from the washroom with confidence.
And you can do walking back.
You can do walking to.
But I love calling the actual practice walk to the washroom with confidence.
Because it's kind of silly and it's easily misinterpreted or misunderstood.
It makes me laugh.
I don't know if anyone else laughs.
When I did this at live workshops,
We came back the next week and I asked people to report back.
How was your experiment of walking to the washroom with confidence going to the washroom with confidence?
And it was just a lovely conversation.
We laughed.
We didn't take it too seriously and it was effective because it's so simple,
So fun,
So ridiculous to walk 20 seconds with confidence or walk back 20 seconds.
And then maybe once you do that,
You try.
Let me walk with five minutes with confidence.
Let me have breakfast with confidence.
And then the more we play the role.
The more we build muscle memory,
The more we become an energetic match for that confident self,
The more we sort of confuse the universe and the universe is like,
This person is super confident.
Let's bring their confident dreams closer to them.
It's probably a topic for a different video around like,
Becoming energetic matches and allowing a key component of manifestation to take place.
We'll save that for later,
But for now,
If you're open to it today,
Or maybe this week.
Walk to the confidence.
Let me try that again.
Go to the washroom go to the restroom go to the bathroom wherever you call it depending on where you are with Confident.
Okay,
Thanks for listening.
Thanks for laughing with me.
Thanks for making me giggle.
My name is Darius and I'll see you next time.
Bye.
