A short motivational excerpt from a YouTube video by Vishen Lakhiani offering a simple confidence-building technique: deliberately embrace discomfort by repeatedly doing or stating unfamiliar/uncomfortable things until they feel normal and comfortable. The speaker frames discomfort/unfamiliarity as signals to practice the behavior until the unknown becomes known.

You're winning at confidence all the time. Anytime you catch yourself saying, oh, I can't do that. I'm not gonna. Better words. And if it feels uncomfortable, you know what that means? It means you should do it more. Until. What is uncomfortable is comfortable. What is unfamiliar is familiar. What is unknown is known. So the more weird it feels, the more you should state it until it becomes normal, comfortable, and super familiar.
