Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

It always helps me to voice it whenever I'm insecure.

I either I'll write about it somewhere or I'll speak to somebody who I trust my mom, my husband,

my best friend.

But I find it easier to talk about it.

So that's why I have a healthier relationship with my insecurities

because I take away their power by discussing them.

I choose not to live with them alone in the dark recesses of my mind

because then they become monsters

and then they become really, really large.

And they're usually not real.

So it's always been very helpful to me whenever I'm feeling crazy or insecure or afraid

or even if I feel like I've made a mistake.

My dad told me this when I was very young, when I was 16, the first time he sat me down

and he gave me a glass of champagne and I was like, what?

And he was like, yeah, you're 16, you know, you can have a glass of champagne with me, you're going to do it anyway.

And he told me, he was like, whatever happens in your life, you should feel free to be able to do it with your parents.

There's nothing to hide from us. I'll always be in your corner.

And he told me that about feelings.

I always had the freedom to talk to my mom or my dad as a kid about anything I was feeling.

At least to my father, I wouldn't discuss the boyfriends, but my mom, she was like my best friend.

She knew about every object of attraction that I ever had.
