Dr. Aziz (speaker) delivers brief spoken advice arguing that confidence is an internal perception, not dependent on looking "perfect" or meeting others' expectations. He uses a client anecdote to show how changing what you allow yourself to wear (choosing what feels good) shifts energy and others' responses; he advises choosing clothes that express you and asking, “Do I like this? Does it feel good?” before wearing something.
Do you think that confidence is about looking perfect, looking good? You got to impress people with how you're dressed and your appearance and your face and your muscles and your hair. And we get so self conscious about, oh, my God, my hair is not in place, or, oh, I'm balding, I'm gonna die. And guess what? Confidence is an inside job. And it doesn't matter. It's actually how you perceive yourself when you're wearing something. Do you. When you put it on, you're like, yeah, there's a client I worked with for many years who didn't let himself wear certain styles of clothes, certain colors, certain choices. It's like, oh, that logo's not right. And people. All this conditioning from the. And we shifted it to where he's like, you know what I'm gonna wear, what I like, what I feel good and what I look good at. And guess what? You carry that energy, and everyone else responds. So the next time you're putting something on, it's not what are other people gonna think. It's like, do I like this? From your own frame, your own perspective, does it look good? Does it feel good? Does it express me and then go, rock it in the world? And you're gonna feel way more confident, and people are gonna respond to that confidence.
