Eight outrageous life hacks that make you more confident than 95.7% of people

1. Be obsessed with doing things.

Most of the planet is obsessed.

But they’re obsessed with the world of illusion, hearsay, imagination and opinion.

Nothing is real here, and we can easily frighten ourselves when we spend considerable time in this space. Instead, be unreasonably biased to taking actions, even if they’re small and seemingly inconsequential.

Take note of the things that make you nervous, and immediately take small, do-able steps toward these fears.

Relentless action is the soothing balm to all your fears.

2. Judder da belly.

Most of our stress is locked in the hips and belly area.

Why? Because humans developed a frontal tightening mechanism for protection from punches.

We release tension from this area when we lean back and breathe out. Throw in some disgraceful hip thrusts while you’re at it.

This allows for freer belly-breathing, a more relaxed pose, and increased confidence.

3. Allow confidence to find you.
