Embrace the Negative Thoughts | Hack #98
April 07, 2024 07:00 - 2 minutesConfidence Hack #98: We are often told, ‘negative thoughts are a bad thing. Don’t think negative thoughts.’ That’s precisely the opposite of what you want to do.

What if the Limitless Pill was Real? | Hack #93
April 02, 2024 07:00 - 2 minutesConfidence Hack #93: What if we already use 100% of our brains? Humans only use 10% of their brains. Have you heard that before? Sure you have. What if we could tap into the unused 90%? This concept is portrayed in the movie Limitless, where Bradley Cooper takes a pill that allows him to access all 100% of his brain. So, how can we access the 90% of unaccessed neurons and glial cells? Well, spoiler alert: We already are. Neurologists have found that humans use virtually every part of the brai...
Listening to Mozart as a Baby Doesn't Make You Smarter | Hack #92
April 01, 2024 07:00 - 4 minutesConfidence Hack #92: No evidence supports that listening to classical music as a baby makes you smarter.

They listened to either 10 minutes of a Mozart sonata in D-major (a very relaxing track) or silence before performing several spatial reasoning tasks. In one test (emphasis on one test), students who listened to Mozart significantly ...
How Dumbledore Addresses Fear | Hack #91
March 31, 2024 07:00 - 2 minutesConfidence Hack #91: Humans fear what they don’t know. “Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.” Dumbledore (of Harry Potter) The brain constantly tries to predict what will happen next to prepare the body and mind as effectively as possible. Uncertain situations are fearful, as the brain doesn’t have the opportunity to prepare. Like in the famed movie Harry Potter, not saying Voldemort’s name gave him more power over Harry.

Ask yourself, ‘Do you feel excited when you wake up to take on the day and what it has ahead?’ If your answer is yes, then you are in the momentum phase. That’s great; keep going!

March 28, 2024 14:08 - 4 minutesConfidence Hack #88: Here’s why tipping 21% can change your life... Let me know if you have felt this before—you walk into a bakery and purchase a donut.

It’s a scam. Maybe. By the credit card provider or the transaction company, probably so. But not by the donut provider. In a 2023 survey don...
Create Your Avengers of Upstanders | Hack #87
March 27, 2024 07:00 - 3 minutesConfidence Hack #87: You have a choice to make—you can either be a bystander or an upstander.

Pessimism vs. Optimism | Hack #86
March 26, 2024 15:09 - 2 minutesConfidence Hack #86: A healthy dose of each is the proper frame of reference. Being an optimist doesn’t mean you’re not a pessimist, and being a pessimist doesn’t mean you’re not an optimist. The sweet spot is in the middle, trending towards the optimistic side. Let’s be self-aware optimists. What do the smartest financial investors do? They save like pessimists and invest like optimists. They look at the future like optimists, but they are aware of the short term like pessimists. Pessimism ...

March 25, 2024 16:02 - 3 minutesConfidence Hack #85: YOU have the power of first-hand persuasiveness!

Being Happy With EVERY Part of Your Job is Unattainable | Hack #84
March 24, 2024 07:00 - 2 minutesConfidence Hack #84: Happiness is fleeting. Happiness is circumstantial. The number one answer when people are asked, ‘What do you want out of life?’ Happiness. Now, I won’t go on one of those rants that tells you to live with joy instead of happiness. Potato, pototo. But here is the truth that I am going to hit you with: You will never fully 100% love what you do. There will always be something in your job that irks you—a coworker, your boss, the project you are currently working on, not be...
Stress CAN BE a Net Positive | Hack #83
March 23, 2024 15:26 - 2 minutesConfidence Hack #83: Life without stress is not a life you want to live. According to the American Psychological Association, as of 2022, 76% of Americans admit to being overly stressed out.

#1 Way To Educate Yourself...AND It's FREE! | Hack #82
March 22, 2024 13:53 - 3 minutesConfidence Hack #82: The ability to self-educate has never been easier! Sorry scholars who took years and years to develop those books, the new go-to is pursing a doctorate in the education of YouTube. The question you should be asking right now is not, ‘What can you learn on YouTube?’ The question you need to be asking yourself is instead, ‘What can’t you learn on YouTube?’ A 2018 Pew Research Study found that 85% of Generation Z prefer YouTube as an education over reading books. The same st...
The Power of the Silent Pause | Hack #81
March 21, 2024 14:39 - 4 minutesConfidence Hack #81: Ummmm.... uh...these hurt how people perceive you! Once you start listening for it when in conversation with others, you can’t unhear it. Humans use these spacers not because it makes them sound more intelligent; it’s because most people are ‘afraid of the pause.’ If you listen to some of the best speakers of all time, such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John Maxwell, and Mel Robbins, you will find they often pause while speaking, even to the point where it feels uncomfo...

5 Ways To Be More Enthusiastic | Hack #79
March 19, 2024 07:00 - 3 minutesConfidence Hack #79: Enthusiasm, the trait no one wants less of! I mean, think about it: the difference between getting a coffee and the person making your coffee couldn’t care less about your cup of joe vs. the person who tells you about the origin of the coffee bean itself and that it was roasted high in the mountains of Columbia at 7,000 ft elevation. That is the difference in enthusiasm. Now, I’m not saying to fake enthusiasm. But, the awareness of it is vital. Here are 5 ways to start i...

March 18, 2024 15:00 - 4 minutesConfidence Hack #78: According to DataReportal, as of 2023, the average American spends 6 hours and 59 minutes on a screen. Per day!

Usually, the eating hours are open from noon to 8pm or even as small as 2pm to 6pm. The concept builds parameters so the person reaching for the donut at 7am (and 8am) won’t. Today, you and I ...

March 16, 2024 07:00 - 2 minutesConfidence Hack #76: Writing is better than typing. All right, self admittance here. I have horrible handwriting. Not just bad, really bad. Be it as it may, I march on. There is absolute power in the brain and pen connection. Your memory of handwritten words is tied to the movements required to make each letter. When you write by hand, your brain actually gets an encoding boost. It’s unclear how much more powerful writing is than typing, but experts have estimated it can be up to 5x more powe...

Your DNA Does Not Define You | Hack #71
March 11, 2024 15:26 - 4 minutesConfidence Hack #71: Pedigree only means where you came from, not where you are going.

This is Why the Bible Says Confidence 60 Times | Hack #70
March 10, 2024 08:00 - 2 minutesConfidence Hack #70: The best-selling book of all time specifically mentions confidence 60 times, and this is why that is important. Anything mentioned more than 25 times should open our eyes. More than 50, we should become very aware of. Not many words or phrases are mentioned more than confidence in the Bible. The main point I want to outline here is that confidence is not used the same way throughout. The majority of uses pertain to trust in others, trust in circumstances, and trust in God...

March 08, 2024 16:38 - 4 minutesConfidence Hack #68: Being the ultimate ‘glue guy’ translates to a winning culture. Shane Battier. From the outside world looking in, Shane’s skills weren’t flashy.
