The SECRET To LOVING YOURSELF! | Priyanka Chopra Jonas

0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:14It always helps me to voice it whenever I'm insecure. I either, I'll write about it somewhere or I'll speak to somebody who I trust. My mom, my husband, my best friend. But I find it easier to talk about it. So that's why I have a healthier relationship with my insecurities, because I take away their power by discussing them. I choose not to live with them alone in the dark recesses of my mind, because then they become monsters and then they become really, really large. And they're usually not real. So it's always been very helpful to me whenever I'm feeling crazy or insecure or afraid or even if I feel like I've made a mistake.

1:03And my dad told me this when I was very young, when I was 16. The first time he sat me down and he gave me a glass of champagne and I was like, what? And he was like, yeah, you're 16. You can have a glass of champagne with me. You're going to do it anyway. And he told me, he was like, whatever happens in your life, you should feel free to be able to do it with your parents. There is nothing to hide from us. I'll always be in your corner. And he told me that about feelings. I always had the freedom to talk to my mom or my dad as a kid about anything I was feeling. At least to my father, I wouldn't discuss the boyfriends, but my mom, she was like my best friend.

1:43She knew about every object of attraction that I ever had. And I think that that sort of gives you the sense of confidence to be able to talk about it. And I just think it's a great first step to get rid of insecurities. I'm just a big believer. I love everything you're saying and I'm just a big believer that if people really listen to this and understand and take it in what you're sharing that it's hard to achieve anything without confidence. You could have the greatest experience. You could have the greatest degree, the skills. You could have the family. You could have the money. You could have good looks.

2:21Whatever it is, you could have the stuff. But if you don't know how to build confidence when it matters, it doesn't matter if the world believes in you. If we don't believe in ourselves, nothing's going to happen. And the world won't believe in you if you don't believe in you. As someone in the public profession, you know, my job is to be entertaining and be confident in every step that I take and in every move that I make. But I think recognizing that confidence is not something we are born with. it's it's a skill you know it's a muscle almost if you think of it like going to the gym and you know to to have muscles and to shape you've got to work at it just like the vocal chords people the greatest musicians in the world they use you know their their vocal chords they do warm-ups and stuff like that so confidence to me is like that you start you using that at a very small level um everyday life you know when you're in school there were times when i was in school where i used to take the other hall of hallway because i didn't want to bump into someone else when i started high school by the time i was in 11th grade i was walking in the middle of the hallway you're stood around you get people moving away yeah i was like excuse me i didn't even have to say that i was just walking but i think that in any profession or any aspect of life perception is reality.

3:45Most people believe that, right? You know that how people perceive you is what they think reality is. So give them something perceivable.
