With more than a million followers on Instagram, James Smith has become an internet sensation over the past nine years, delivering no-nonsense fitness and nutrition advice. On his recent world tour, he shared his wisdom with thousands of people. And now his third book, How To Be Confident, promises to change your mindset in only 100 minutes.
“I see confidence as a way to open doors, to be inquisitive, to take more risks, but ultimately it is a belief in yourself, to back yourself in whatever it is you need to back yourself in,” James says.
Here, James shares the tools to build confidence and take steps to a happier, healthier life…
1 STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
It might seem like a tough task to some, but James reveals that it is possible to use the 100-minute timeframe to work out what your objectives are and what you are willing to do to achieve them.
He says, "Let's say you haven't got the confidence to go to the gym and get a gym membership and train and be in there for an hour.
"Have you got enough confidence to ask to be shown around instead? Have you got enough confidence to go in and do one exercise?" If you do want to tackle a real-life task in the same amount of time, James recommends asking for 10% off the next cup of coffee you get at a café.
