12.The Confidence Gap: A Guide to Overcoming Fear and Self-Doubt - by Russ Harris

The Confidence Gap: A Guide to Overcoming Fear and Self-Doubt
Based in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices, this self-help guide offers breakthrough insights and simple techniques for managing anxiety and developing long-lasting confidence. The author of The Happiness Trap offers "an exciting alternative to the usual approach of so many self-help books," demonstrating "the simple and effective methods of ACT" (David Richo, PhD, author of How to Be an Adult in Relationships). Too many of us miss out on opportunities in life because we lack self-confidence. Whether it's public speaking, taking on a leadership role, or asking someone for a date, there are situations in which we just don't feel equipped to handle the challenges we face. Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to "get over" our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them. Paradoxically, it's only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it. Drawing on the techniques of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a cutting-edge form of cognitive-behavioral therapy, The Confidence Gap explains how to: - Free yourself from common misconceptions about what confidence is and how to build it - Transform your relationship with fear and anxiety - Clarify your core values and use them as your inspiration and motivation - Use mindfulness to effectively handle negative thoughts and feelings. "This book could save you years of psychological struggle, yank you out of negative emotional patterns, and help propel you to a much happier, more productive life." --Martha Beck, author and Oprah Winfrey's life coachAbout the AuthorDr. Russ Harris is a physician, therapist, and speaker specializing in stress management. He travels nationally and internationally to train individuals and health professionals in the techniques of ACT. Born and educated in England, he now lives in Australia.

From his fascination of this fighting legend, Nate, became enamored with Bruce's philosophical approach to life. Having read many of his quotes and sayings, Nate began coming up with his own. He would use them in the form of wise quotes, inspirational analogies, and motivation stimulations at the end of his daily workout classes. His clients and students would attend many times just to hear what words of enlightenment he would share that day. Some were even disappointed when he didn't share such words of empowerment. He would respond by saying, "When HE gives it to me, I'll give it to you. He believed all the words spoken should be inspired and not contrived or forced. During the time of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. Nate began looking around to see what skills he hadn't tapped into yet, that could better help him navigate through the painful season. He then realized he had years of quotes and post saved to his Facebook site. Finding them to be as powerful as the day he originally spoke them. He decided to publish them into what turned out to be his first of many more to come, books of self-empowerment. He drew from his military training and religious upbringing, to provide words of instructions, direction, encouragement, enlightenment, and empowerment with a strong sense of military flavor. He understands many who will relate to the pages of this book. Will be coming from a place of personal experience.

But each person seeking to come to terms with the unexpectant occurrences of life. Must mount up like a soldier. Suit up like a soldier. Develop the mental toughness of a solider and keep their focus on the task at hand and get the mission done.

3 Buckets
Three Buckets is a simple, powerful way to finally see your life clearly. Every decision, every relationship, every obligation belongs in one of three places: what matters, what distracts, and what drains. If you're holding this vinyl, you didn't just press play-you chose to sit with the truth. These words were lived before they were spoken. Some were born from pain. Some from prison. Some from prayer. All of them came from growth. This isn't an audiobook. It's a conversation. Play it when you need clarity. Play it when you need discipline. Play it when the world gets loud and you need to hear yourself again. Thank you for believing in the man I was becoming before the world caught on.About the AuthorWallo267: - WALLO267 is proof that purpose has no borders. After serving twenty years in prison, he transformed his lived experience into a global platform for reinvention. A New York Times bestselling author, co-host of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, and cultural advisor at YouTube, he leads ventures across media, brand, and impact-demonstrating that your past is data, not destiny.
