I used to feel uncomfortable raining in the gym. But standing exposed on a stage and talking in front of a crowd terrified me. I was afraid that everyone was going to focus on my flaws & judge me. There was a lot to let go of there.

The more I invested in overcoming these fears, the easier it was for me to relax in uncomfortable situations. Gym training became my therapy and my meditation room. I interacted with different people to build my conversation skills. I learned to put myself in other peoples' shoes and it helped me to let go of my own insecurities and issues.

Key takeaway: You have to get out of your own way, then reprogram and build a better version of you.
