Every chapter of my book 'You 2.0: Build Yourself Better' has a little exercise to not only help embed the ideas in that chapter within you, but to help cultivate a sense of progress in the reader's life. Each week, until all 33 exercises are done, I will provide my own answers to those exercises so readers can have an idea of how they work.

This is from Chapter 1: Suspend Your Disbelief.

Take a bite...

Right now, grab a piece of paper and write down a description of at least five times you felt totally self-confident, those times when you just blew away all problems or objections and totally achieved what you wanted; it might be that really awesome business presentation you did, or when you asked out that cute boy/girl who said yes, or even convincing little Johnny to tidy up his bedroom! Capture the details, how you felt, what you were doing; did you stand in a certain way or have a particular breathing pattern going on? Then once you’ve done that, fold it up and put it in your wallet or purse, to be brought out and reviewed whenever you’re about to tackle something you feel anxious about. And add to it each new success! Pretty soon, you’ll have all the evidence you need, there in black and white, to persuade your brain that you absolutely can do what it is you want to do!
